Nexperia USA Inc. PCMF2HDMI2SZ

Overview

PCMF2HDMI2SZ from Nexperia is a dual-channel common-mode EMI filter with integrated ESD protection for HDMI 2.0 and MIPI D-PHY/CSI-2 differential signal paths. It provides ±15 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact ESD protection per line, −31.5 dB common-mode insertion loss at 3 GHz, and <0.3 dB differential insertion loss at 1 MHz, enabling robust high-speed interface protection in space-constrained mobile devices.

For engineers reviewing the PCMF2HDMI2SZ datasheet, PCMF2HDMI2SZ pinout, PCMF2HDMI2SZ application, or PCMF2HDMI2SZ equivalent, key selection criteria include differential channel count (2), WLCSP10 package footprint, clamping voltage (±4 V at 16 A TLP), diode capacitance (0.25 pF), and common-mode suppression bandwidth (up to 3 GHz).

Technical Context

This device integrates coupled inductors per differential pair to suppress common-mode noise while preserving differential signal integrity up to 6 GHz bandwidth. Each channel uses bidirectional ESD clamping diodes with snapback behavior, achieving dynamic resistance of 0.16 Ω during ±16 A TLP transients.

The WLCSP10 package (1.62 mm × 1.52 mm, 0.6 mm max height) places ten solder bumps in a 4-2-4 configuration: four input pins (CH1_IN±, CH2_IN±), four output pins (CH1_OUT±, CH2_OUT±), and two isolated ground terminals (GND_CH1, GND_CH2), enabling independent channel grounding for optimal noise isolation.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

PCMF2HDMI2SZ uses a wafer-level chip-scale package (WLCSP10) with 10 solder bumps arranged in a 4-2-4 layout. The package has no leads or wire bonds, enabling direct die attachment and minimal parasitic inductance for high-frequency filtering.

FAQ

What is the maximum data rate supported by PCMF2HDMI2SZ?

PCMF2HDMI2SZ supports HDMI 2.0 (6 Gbps) and MIPI D-PHY v2.1 (2.5 Gbps) due to its 6 GHz differential bandwidth and <0.3 dB insertion loss at 1.7 GHz. Eye diagram measurements confirm full compliance with HDMI 2.0 electrical specifications, including jitter and rise/fall time requirements.

How does the snapback ESD clamping mechanism improve system protection?

The snapback structure achieves negative dynamic resistance (0.16 Ω) during ESD transients, lowering clamping voltage to ±4 V at ±16 A TLP-well below the 6 V breakdown threshold of typical HDMI receiver inputs. This prevents latch-up and permanent damage while maintaining low leakage (<100 nA) during normal operation.

Can PCMF2HDMI2SZ be used for USB 3.0 or PCIe Gen3 interfaces?

No. PCMF2HDMI2SZ is optimized for HDMI 2.0 and MIPI D-PHY/CSI-2 frequency profiles (DC–6 GHz differential, 100 MHz–3 GHz common-mode). Its common-mode choke design does not match USB 3.0 SuperSpeed (5 Gbps) or PCIe Gen3 (8 GT/s) impedance and noise rejection requirements.

What PCB layout guidelines ensure optimal performance?

Maintain 100 Ω differential impedance on all traces (CHx_IN± and CHx_OUT±), place the device within 5 mm of the HDMI/MIPI connector, use solid ground planes beneath the WLCSP10 footprint, and avoid vias or stubs on protected lines. Isolate GND_CH1 and GND_CH2 with separate copper pours to preserve channel independence.
