Product details
Overview
NZQA6V8AXV5T3 from onsemi is a quad unidirectional ESD protection diode in SOT-553 package, featuring 4.3 V working peak reverse voltage, 7.14 V max breakdown voltage at 1 mA, 13 A maximum reverse peak pulse current, 12 V clamping voltage at 13 A, and 6.7 pF typical capacitance at 0 V bias. It delivers IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD protection for high-speed USB 1.1 low/full-speed data lines.
For engineers reviewing the NZQA6V8AXV5T3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping voltage under 13 A surge, sub-7 pF line capacitance for signal integrity, 4-line integrated protection in 1.6 mm × 1.2 mm footprint, and compliance with USB 1.1 timing and impedance requirements.
Technical Context
This device implements four independent unidirectional Zener-based ESD clamps sharing a common anode terminal, enabling simultaneous transient suppression across four signal lines. Its architecture supports fast response to ±8 kV contact ESD events per IEC 61000-4-2 while maintaining low leakage (<1 µA at 4.3 V) and stable clamping performance up to 150°C junction temperature.
The SOT-553 package integrates all four cathodes and one common anode into five terminals, with thermal resistance of 327°C/W (junction-to-ambient, FR-4 board). Power derating begins above 25°C at 3.05 mW/°C, supporting sustained operation in compact industrial and portable electronics enclosures.

Applications
| USB 1.1 Interface Protection | Serial Port ESD Hardening |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protecting USB D+, D−, VBUS, and ID lines on embedded host controllers against electrostatic discharge during cable insertion or handling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Transient voltage suppressor placed directly at connector entry point, clamping surges before they reach PHY or controller pins. Use Value: Maintains USB 1.1 full-speed timing compliance with <6.7 pF line capacitance and limits clamped voltage to 12 V during ±8 kV contact discharge. |
Use Scenario: Securing RS-232 or RS-485 transceiver I/O pins in industrial programmable logic controllers exposed to field maintenance personnel. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional shunt clamp referenced to local ground, diverting ESD energy away from transceiver ESD-sensitive inputs. Use Value: Prevents latch-up or gate oxide damage in transceivers while adding only 0.6 mm² PCB area versus four discrete SOD-323 devices. |
| Notebook Internal Bus Protection | Medical Sensor Interface Guarding |
|
Use Scenario: Shielding internal low-speed SMBus or I²C lines connecting EC, keyboard controller, and battery management ICs in ultra-thin notebooks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance bidirectional-capable clamp (anode grounded) suppressing both positive and negative transients on open-drain buses. Use Value: Enables use of 1.8 V or 3.3 V I²C pull-ups without compromising rise time, verified by 6.7 pF capacitance at 0 V bias. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding analog front-end inputs of portable ECG or pulse oximeter sensors connected via flexible flat cables prone to triboelectric charging. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Signal-line protector with <1 µA leakage at 4.3 V, preventing DC offset drift in high-impedance sensor amplifiers. Use Value: Guarantees baseline stability over −55°C to +150°C operating range and passes IEC 60601-1-2 ESD immunity testing. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPD4E001DRYR | Single-channel, 0.5 pF capacitance, 3.6 V working voltage, SOT-553 package | Lower capacitance but requires four separate devices; better for >480 Mbps USB 2.0, not rated for USB 1.1 full-speed compliance | Select when minimizing signal distortion is critical and board space allows discrete placement |
| ESD5V3U4-2/TR | Quad unidirectional, 5.3 V working voltage, 15 V clamping at 12 A, SOT-553 | Higher clamping voltage increases risk to 3.3 V logic; lacks USB 1.1 specification compliance statement | Acceptable for non-USB general-purpose I/O protection where 15 V clamping is within system margin |
Compared with TPD4E001DRYR and ESD5V3U4-2/TR, NZQA6V8AXV5T3 uniquely balances USB 1.1 compliance, 12 V clamping headroom, and quad integration-enabling single-device protection of D+, D−, VBUS, and ID without sacrificing signal fidelity or requiring layout redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of NZQA6V8AXV5T3 under IEC 61000-4-2 surge conditions?
The NZQA6V8AXV5T3 exhibits a maximum clamping voltage of 12 V when subjected to a 13 A peak pulse current per the IEC 61000-4-2 8/20 µs waveform. This value is measured across the diode terminals during standardized ESD testing and ensures protected circuitry remains within safe operating limits. The clamping performance is validated in Figures 1 and 2 of the official datasheet, and applies directly to the NZQA6V8AXV5T3 device.
Does NZQA6V8AXV5T3 meet USB 1.1 low-speed and full-speed specifications?
Yes, NZQA6V8AXV5T3 is explicitly stated in the datasheet to comply with USB 1.1 low-speed and full-speed specifications. This compliance is enabled by its 6.7 pF typical capacitance at 0 V bias and 4.3 V working peak reverse voltage, which preserve signal integrity and timing margins required for 1.5 Mbps and 12 Mbps data rates. The NZQA6V8AXV5T3 achieves this without external tuning components.
What is the pin configuration of NZQA6V8AXV5T3 and how is the common anode used in circuit design?
NZQA6V8AXV5T3 uses a 5-pin SOT-553 layout: Pin 1 = Cathode 1, Pin 2 = Common Anode, Pin 3 = Cathode 2, Pin 4 = Cathode 3, Pin 5 = Cathode 4. The common anode is typically connected to VCC for positive-going transient suppression or to ground for negative-going suppression, depending on system reference. This configuration allows NZQA6V8AXV5T3 to protect four independent lines with minimal routing complexity.
What is the thermal resistance and power derating behavior of NZQA6V8AXV5T3?
NZQA6V8AXV5T3 has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RJA) of 327°C/W when mounted on an FR-4 board with minimum pad. Its steady-state power dissipation per diode is 380 mW at 25°C, derating linearly at 3.05 mW/°C above that temperature. This derating curve is shown in Figure 7 of the datasheet and must be applied when calculating safe operating area for repeated surge events in the NZQA6V8AXV5T3.
Is NZQA6V8AXV5T3 RoHS-compliant and what is its moisture sensitivity level?
Yes, NZQA6V8AXV5T3 is Pb-free and RoHS-compliant per EU Directive 2011/65/EU. Its SOT-553 package carries a moisture sensitivity level (MSL) of 1, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ambient conditions without baking prior to reflow soldering. This MSL rating is confirmed in onsemi's Soldering and Mounting Techniques Reference Manual, SOLDERRM/D, and applies to every unit of NZQA6V8AXV5T3 shipped in tape-and-reel format.
