Product details
Overview
NUP1301ML3T1 from onsemi is a low-capacitance ESD protection diode array designed for single-data-line transient suppression in high-speed interfaces; it delivers 0.9 pF max capacitance, 70 V reverse voltage rating, and IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (8 kV contact / 15 kV air) compliance, deployed in T1/E1 secondary IC protection and I²C bus safeguarding.
For engineers reviewing the NUP1301ML3T1 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include rail-to-rail clamping capability, SOT-23 package compatibility, sub-1 pF signal-line loading, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive secondary interface protection.
Technical Context
The NUP1301ML3T1 integrates two back-to-back diodes in a single SOT-23 package with pin 1 as anode and pins 2 & 3 as cathodes, enabling bidirectional clamping between data line and ground or supply rails. Its architecture supports fast transient diversion without signal integrity degradation in <100 Mbps digital lines.
It operates within −65°C to +150°C junction temperature range, features 625°C/W thermal resistance (Junction-to-Ambient), and maintains leakage current ≤2.5 µA at 70 Vdc and 25°C - critical for low-power microcontroller input protection where standby current budget is constrained.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Capacitance | 0.9 pF max at 1 MHz, VR = 0 V - preserves signal rise/fall times in high-speed I²C and video lines. |
| ESD Rating | IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4: 8 kV contact / 15 kV air - meets industrial and automotive system-level ESD immunity requirements. |
| Reverse Voltage | 70 Vdc - supports protection of 3.3 V, 5 V, and 12 V data lines without forward conduction during normal operation. |
| Forward Current | 215 mAdc continuous - sustains surge energy dissipation without thermal runaway during repetitive transients. |
| Junction Temp | −65°C to +150°C - enables deployment in under-hood automotive modules and industrial base station environments. |
| Package | SOT-23 (Case 318, Style 11) - surface-mount compatible with standard pick-and-place and reflow processes. |
Pinout & Package
SOT-23 package (2.90 × 1.30 × 1.00 mm, 1.90 mm pitch), 3-terminal configuration per device marking diagram and Style 11 mechanical outline.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode | Connects to protected data line; forms forward path to ground or VCC when transient exceeds VF + reference. |
| Pin 2 | Cathode | Common cathode node tied to ground or negative rail for unidirectional or rail-to-rail clamping configuration. |
| Pin 3 | Cathode–Anode | Shared terminal supporting dual-diode topology: functions as cathode for Pin 1 and anode for internal second diode in back-to-back arrangement. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail clamping | Enables bidirectional ESD current steering to either VCC or GND without external bias, reducing component count in I²C and HDSL protection circuits. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including infotainment and body control modules requiring PPAP documentation and site-specific process controls. |
| Pb-free packaging | RoHS-compliant SOT-23 with "G" suffix and microdot marking - supports lead-free assembly and global environmental compliance mandates. |
| Low leakage | ≤2.5 µA IR at 70 Vdc/25°C - prevents DC loading on high-impedance microcontroller inputs and preserves battery life in portable systems. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ESD9X5.0ST5G | 0.7 pF typ capacitance; 5.0 V working voltage; lower clamping voltage (12 V) but reduced VR (12 V vs. 70 V). | Better suited for 3.3 V/5 V logic rails only; not rated for 12 V or telecom line protection. | Select when protecting low-voltage digital buses where tighter clamping and ultra-low capacitance outweigh voltage range needs. |
| TPD2E001DRYR | 0.8 pF typ; dual-channel; integrated 10 kΩ series resistors; no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Targets USB D+/D− or HDMI CEC lines; resistor-integrated design simplifies layout but limits flexibility in rail selection. | Prefer for consumer electronics with space-constrained layouts and no automotive qualification requirement. |
Compared with ESD9X5.0ST5G and TPD2E001DRYR, the NUP1301ML3T1 provides broader voltage coverage (70 V), automotive qualification, and flexible rail-to-rail clamping - making it optimal for telecom, industrial, and automotive secondary interface protection where robustness and wide operating margin are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the primary circuit role of the NUP1301ML3T1 in a system?
The NUP1301ML3T1 serves as a bidirectional ESD protection diode array placed at the interface between a high-speed data line and ground or supply rail. It clamps transient voltages above its forward voltage plus reference potential, diverting ESD current away from sensitive downstream ICs. Its role is strictly transient suppression - not signal conditioning, level shifting, or power regulation - and it remains non-conductive during normal 70 Vdc operation.
Does the NUP1301ML3T1 require external biasing to function in rail-to-rail configuration?
No, the NUP1301ML3T1 does not require external biasing. Its internal back-to-back diode structure (pin 1 anode, pins 2 and 3 cathodes) enables inherent rail-to-rail clamping: transients exceeding VF + VCC forward-bias the upper diode toward VCC, while those below GND − VF activate the lower diode toward ground. This self-directed behavior eliminates need for external pull-up/pull-down resistors in I²C or video line protection designs.
Is the NUP1301ML3T1 suitable for protecting 12 V automotive data lines?
Yes, the NUP1301ML3T1 is suitable for 12 V automotive data lines. Its 70 V reverse voltage rating provides ample margin above 12 V nominal systems, and its AEC-Q101 qualification confirms performance under automotive temperature, vibration, and reliability stress conditions. It has been deployed in T3/E3 secondary IC protection and infotainment video line applications where 12 V supply rails coexist with high-speed signals.
How does the 0.9 pF capacitance of the NUP1301ML3T1 impact signal integrity on I²C lines?
The 0.9 pF maximum capacitance of the NUP1301ML3T1 introduces negligible loading on standard-mode (100 kHz) and fast-mode (400 kHz) I²C buses, preserving rise/fall time budgets and preventing false ACK/NACK generation. At 400 kHz, this capacitance contributes <0.5 ns additional RC delay with typical 1 kΩ pull-up, well within I²C specification margins - confirmed in onsemi application notes for microcontroller input protection use cases.
What marking code identifies the NUP1301ML3T1 on the SOT-23 package?
The NUP1301ML3T1 is marked on the SOT-23 package with "53" as the device code, followed by a date code (e.g., "M") and a Pb-free indicator (microdot or "G"). Per onsemi's generic marking diagram for Style 11, pin 1 is identified by the beveled edge or notch, and the top-side marking appears adjacent to pin 1. The full ordering part number SZNUP1301ML3T1G includes the "SZ" prefix denoting automotive qualification and unique site control.
