Product details
Overview
NNCD6.8PG-T1-AT from Renesas Electronics is a quad-channel electrostatic discharge (ESD) noise clipping diode in a 5-pin Mini Mold (SC-74A) package with common anode configuration. It delivers 6.47 V to 7.14 V breakdown voltage, ≤30 Ω dynamic impedance at 5 mA, ≤2 µA reverse leakage at 3.5 V, 110 pF typical capacitance at 1 MHz, and 30 kV ESD endurance per IEC 1000-4-2. It protects parallel interface circuits in PC peripherals such as CD-ROM drives and printers.
For engineers reviewing the NNCD6.8PG-T1-AT datasheet, NNCD6.8PG-T1-AT pinout, NNCD6.8PG-T1-AT application, or NNCD6.8PG-T1-AT equivalent, key selection criteria include common-anode quad ESD clamping topology, 30 kV contact discharge rating, low 110 pF signal-line capacitance, 30 Ω dynamic impedance for fast transient suppression, and SC-74A footprint compatibility with automated SMT assembly.
Technical Context
This device implements four identical silicon PN-junction clamping diodes sharing a single anode terminal, enabling simultaneous protection of four signal lines against ESD transients. Its design targets IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 compliance with 30 kV air/15 kV contact discharge immunity.
Each cathode-anode path exhibits sharp avalanche breakdown above 6.47 V, low dynamic impedance (≤30 Ω), and minimal junction capacitance (110 pF at 1 MHz), preserving signal integrity on high-speed parallel interfaces while diverting surge current to ground via the common anode.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 6.47 V min to 7.14 V max - defines precise clamping threshold for overvoltage protection on protected lines. |
| Dynamic Impedance (Zz) | ≤30 Ω at 5 mA - ensures low-voltage overshoot during 8/20 µs surge events, limiting stress on downstream ICs. |
| Reverse Leakage (IR) | ≤2 µA at 3.5 V - guarantees negligible DC loading on signal lines under normal operating bias. |
| Junction Capacitance (Ct) | 110 pF typical at 1 MHz - enables use on moderate-speed parallel buses without excessive signal rise-time degradation. |
| ESD Withstand (IEC 1000-4-2) | 30 kV contact discharge - meets highest industrial immunity requirement for external connector protection. |
| Surge Power (PRSM) | 85 W at t = 10 µs - supports single-pulse energy absorption without thermal failure. |
| Package | 5-pin Mini Mold (SC-74A) - surface-mount, tape-and-reel compatible, optimized for high-density PCB layout and pick-and-place assembly. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor NUP4105MR6T1G | Quad common-cathode configuration; 5.5 V breakdown; 120 pF capacitance; SO-8 package (larger footprint). | Requires PCB layout revision due to different pinout and polarity; better suited for ground-referenced clamping topologies. | Select when system ground is more robust than chassis ground and lower clamping voltage (5.5 V) is required for 3.3 V I/O rails. |
| Vishay SMAJ6.0A | Single-channel TVS diode; 6.0 V standoff; 600 W peak pulse power; DO-214AC package; no multi-line integration. | Needs four separate devices and routing; higher total capacitance (>400 pF) degrades high-speed signal integrity. | Choose only if space constraints allow discrete placement and cost sensitivity outweighs assembly efficiency and signal fidelity. |
Compared with NUP4105MR6T1G and SMAJ6.0A, NNCD6.8PG-T1-AT provides integrated quad-channel protection with common-anode architecture ideal for bus-level clamping to chassis ground, tighter 6.47–7.14 V breakdown tolerance, and 40% lower total capacitance-enabling reliable operation on legacy parallel interfaces without signal integrity compromise.
