Product details
Overview
NUP4212UPMUTAG from onsemi is a quad-channel ESD protection diode array in a 6-pin UDFN package, featuring 0.7 pF typical capacitance per data line, 5.2 V minimum breakdown voltage for D1–D4 pins, and 15 V clamping capability for V1/V2 pins-designed to safeguard high-speed USB 2.0 interfaces against IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 (±14 kV contact) ESD events.
For engineers reviewing the NUP4212UPMUTAG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include ultra-low capacitance for signal integrity, common-anode quad-diode topology for compact multi-line protection, and verified 15 V surge rating on dedicated VCC-protection pins.
Technical Context
The NUP4212UPMUTAG implements a unidirectional common-anode ESD protection architecture with four independent 5.2 V-rated data-line diodes (D1–D4) and two 15 V-rated VCC-protection diodes (V1, V2), all sharing a single GND terminal. Its low-leakage design (<1.0 µA at VRWM) and fast response ensure minimal interference with high-frequency signaling.
Clamping performance is validated per IEC61000-4-2 waveform: VC ≤14.3 V at IPP = 1 A, with full ESD suppression captured in oscilloscope screenshots across ±8 kV contact discharge. The device operates from −40°C to +125°C and supports Pb-free reflow up to 260°C.

Applications
| USB 2.0 High-Speed Interface | Cell Phone Front-End Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting D+ and D− lines of a smartphone USB OTG port during hot-plug and cable discharge events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: ESD transient suppressor placed directly at USB connector, clamping surges before they reach the USB transceiver PHY. Use Value: 0.7 pF capacitance prevents signal rise-time degradation; 14.3 V clamping ensures PHY I/O stays within absolute maximum ratings. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding SIM card interface signals (CLK, I/O, RST, VCC) against user-handling ESD in slim-profile handsets. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Multi-line protector with dedicated V1/V2 pins assigned to SIM VCC and backup power rails. Use Value: Dual 15 V-rated anodes allow independent surge protection for primary and auxiliary SIM supplies without external components. |
| MP3 Player Audio/Data Port | SIM Card Protection |
Use Scenario: Shielding mini-USB or micro-USB ports on portable audio players from repeated insertion/removal ESD stress. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance shunt diode array connected line-to-GND, operating passively with no bias required. Use Value: Sub-1 pF capacitance maintains audio DAC output fidelity and digital data timing margins across temperature. | Use Scenario: Providing robust ESD immunity for SIM card slots in LTE modules where board space prohibits discrete diode arrays. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quad-channel clamp with shared GND and two dedicated VCC protection paths for SIM VCC and antenna switch control lines. Use Value: Integrated 15 V V1/V2 pins eliminate need for separate TVS devices on SIM power rails, reducing BOM count by two parts. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPD4E001DRYR | 0.5 pF typical capacitance; 5.5 V breakdown; no dedicated VCC-protection pins | Lacks dual 15 V VCC clamping; requires external TVS for supply rail protection | Preferred when only data-line protection is needed and lowest possible capacitance is critical |
| ESD5451N-2/TR | 0.8 pF typical capacitance; 5.0 V breakdown; 12 V VCC rating (vs. 15 V) | Lower VCC clamping threshold may trigger prematurely on noisy 12 V rails | Selected for cost-sensitive designs where 12 V VCC tolerance suffices and footprint compatibility exists |
Compared with TPD4E001DRYR and ESD5451N-2/TR, the NUP4212UPMUTAG uniquely integrates dual 15 V-rated VCC protection into a quad-data-line array-enabling complete USB port protection with one device while maintaining sub-1 pF signal path loading.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the NUP4212UPMUTAG during an ESD event?
The NUP4212UPMUTAG exhibits a maximum clamping voltage of 14.3 V when subjected to a 1 A peak pulse current (IPP), as specified in its electrical characteristics table. This value is measured under standardized 8/20 µs surge conditions and ensures downstream ICs remain within safe operating voltage limits during IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD events. Real-world clamping waveforms are documented in the NUP4212UPMUTAG datasheet figures.
Can the NUP4212UPMUTAG be used to protect both data lines and a VCC rail simultaneously?
Yes-the NUP4212UPMUTAG is explicitly designed for simultaneous protection: pins D1–D4 provide ultra-low-capacitance ESD suppression for four independent data lines (e.g., USB D+, D−, SIM CLK, SIM I/O), while pins V1 and V2 deliver dedicated 15 V-rated clamping for two separate VCC rails. Its common-anode architecture allows shared GND connection without compromising isolation between protected domains.
Is the NUP4212UPMUTAG compatible with automated optical inspection (AOI) after reflow?
Yes-the NUP4212UPMUTAG's UDFN6 package features a visible top-side marking (NUP4212UPMU) and coplanar terminals conforming to JEDEC standards. Its 1.6 × 1.6 mm footprint, 0.5 mm profile, and defined solder mask openings support reliable AOI detection of solder joint quality, bridging, and component placement accuracy in high-volume SMT lines.
Does the NUP4212UPMUTAG require external biasing or control signals to operate?
No-the NUP4212UPMUTAG is a passive, unidirectional ESD protection diode array that functions without any external power, bias, or control circuitry. It relies solely on its internal PN junction characteristics to clamp transients when voltage exceeds the breakdown threshold. This zero-bias operation simplifies integration and eliminates standby current draw in battery-powered devices using the NUP4212UPMUTAG.
What is the thermal performance limit for continuous operation of the NUP4212UPMUTAG?
The NUP4212UPMUTAG supports continuous operation across an ambient temperature range of −40°C to +125°C, with a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of 125°C. Its UDFN6 package includes an exposed copper thermal pad that enhances heat dissipation when properly soldered to a PCB thermal plane-critical for sustained reliability in thermally dense mobile and automotive applications using the NUP4212UPMUTAG.
