Product details
Overview
PCMF2USB30 from Nexperia is a dual-channel common-mode EMI filter with integrated ±15 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD protection, designed for USB 3.1 SuperSpeed differential pairs. It delivers 0.3 dB differential insertion loss at 1 MHz, −38 dB common-mode attenuation at 2.6 GHz, and supports 10 Gbit/s data rates while maintaining <0.25 pF diode capacitance per line and 3 Ω channel series resistance.
For engineers reviewing the PCMF2USB30 datasheet, PCMF2USB30 pinout, PCMF2USB30 application, or PCMF2USB30 equivalent, this device is selected for high-fidelity signal integrity in compact mobile interfaces-particularly where simultaneous ESD robustness, common-mode noise suppression, and minimal differential signal degradation are required across two independent high-speed lanes.
Technical Context
The PCMF2USB30 integrates coupled inductors per differential channel to suppress common-mode noise while preserving differential signal fidelity. Its clamping structure exhibits snapback behavior with 0.14 Ω dynamic resistance (TLP), enabling low clamping voltage during ±15 kV ESD events on either CH1 or CH2 lines.
Each channel features symmetrical input/output paths (CHx_IN± → CHx_OUT±) referenced to dedicated ground terminals (GND_CH1/GND_CH2), ensuring isolation between channels and minimizing crosstalk. The WLCSP10 package (4-2-4 bump layout) enables direct placement at USB Type-C connectors with matched trace lengths and controlled impedance routing.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel high-speed EMI filtering and ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPD2EUSB30DR | Single-channel design; 0.5 pF diode capacitance; −25 dB CM rejection at 2.6 GHz | Requires two devices for dual-lane coverage; higher capacitive loading degrades 10 Gbit/s eye height | Select when board space allows discrete placement per lane and cost sensitivity outweighs signal integrity optimization |
| EMIF06-USB03M12 | 6-channel monolithic filter; 0.35 pF capacitance; −30 dB CM rejection at 2.6 GHz; no dedicated per-channel grounds | Shared ground increases inter-channel crosstalk risk; less effective for asymmetric routing layouts | Select for multi-interface consolidation (e.g., USB + HDMI + MIPI on same board) where ground separation is not critical |
Compared with TPD2EUSB30DR and EMIF06-USB03M12, PCMF2USB30 provides superior channel isolation via dedicated GND pins, lower capacitance for Gen 2 USB compliance, and higher common-mode attenuation - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-data-rate mobile designs demanding single-device dual-lane protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by PCMF2USB30?
PCMF2USB30 supports 10 Gbit/s differential signaling, validated via USB 3.1 Gen 2 eye diagram testing (Fig 5–8). Its 6 GHz differential cut-off frequency and <0.25 pF diode capacitance ensure minimal intersymbol interference and jitter accumulation at full Gen 2 bandwidth, enabling compliance with USB-IF electrical specifications without equalization.
Can PCMF2USB30 be used for HDMI 2.0 applications?
Yes - PCMF2USB30 is explicitly qualified for HDMI 2.0, with measured eye diagrams showing preserved opening at 148.5 MHz (Fig 9–12). Its −18 dB common-mode attenuation at 5 GHz suppresses TMDS-related RFI, while 0.25 pF capacitance avoids resonance with standard 100 Ω HDMI differential impedance, meeting HDMI Compliance Test Specification v2.0 requirements.
How does the dual-ground architecture improve performance?
The separate GND_CH1 and GND_CH2 terminals isolate return paths for each differential channel, preventing ground-bounce coupling and common-impedance noise injection. This maintains >40 dB inter-channel isolation up to 3 GHz (per characterization), critical for simultaneous USB 3.1 and MIPI D-PHY operation where shared ground planes would degrade signal integrity.
Is PCMF2USB30 compatible with automated optical inspection (AOI) after reflow?
Yes - the WLCSP10 package features visible solder bumps and defined coplanarity (≤0.05 mm), enabling reliable AOI detection of bridging, insufficient solder, and misalignment. The 0.4 mm bump pitch and 1.62 mm × 1.52 mm body meet IPC-A-610 Class 3 criteria for high-reliability mobile assemblies when using the recommended 0.1 mm stencil thickness and SnAgCu paste.
