Nexperia USA Inc. PCMF3HDMI2SZ

Overview

PCMF3HDMI2SZ from Nexperia is a 3-channel common-mode EMI filter with integrated ESD protection for HDMI 2.0, MIPI D-PHY/CSI-2, and TMDS differential interfaces. It delivers ±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 while maintaining 6 GHz differential −3 dB bandwidth. It is deployed in high-density mobile display and camera interconnects to suppress radiated emissions without degrading signal integrity.

For engineers reviewing the PCMF3HDMI2SZ datasheet, PCMF3HDMI2SZ pinout, PCMF3HDMI2SZ application, or PCMF3HDMI2SZ equivalent, key selection criteria include channel count (3), WLCSP15 package footprint, differential impedance preservation, clamping voltage under 4 V at 16 A TLP, and diode capacitance ≤0.25 pF at 1 MHz - all critical for HDMI 2.0 eye diagram compliance and MIPI M-PHY PWM-TX timing margin.

Technical Context

This device integrates three matched differential LC filter sections with bidirectional ESD clamping diodes on each signal line. Each channel uses coupled inductors to provide common-mode attenuation while preserving differential signal fidelity up to 6 GHz, with symmetrical layout ensuring <0.1 ps inter-pair skew.

The ESD protection employs a snapback-triggered clamping structure delivering dynamic resistance of 0.16 Ω (TLP) and clamping voltages of +2.8 V / −3.7 V at ±16 A, enabling robust protection without DC latch-up when used within specified VI (−0.5 to 5 V) and IPPM (±7 A) limits.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

PCMF3HDMI2SZ is housed in a 2.42 mm × 1.22 mm WLCSP15 package with 15 solder bumps arranged in a 6-3-6 configuration (6 input bumps, 3 ground bumps, 6 output bumps). The package supports fine-pitch PCB assembly with 0.4 mm bump pitch and requires 0.1 mm stencil thickness for reliable reflow.

FAQ

What is the maximum operating temperature range for PCMF3HDMI2SZ?

The ambient operating temperature range is −40 °C to +85 °C, and storage temperature extends to −40 °C to +125 °C. These ratings are validated per IEC 60134 limiting values and confirmed in thermal cycling tests across 1000 cycles - ensuring reliability in smartphone and tablet thermal environments where internal PCB temperatures routinely exceed 70 °C during sustained display/video operation.

Can PCMF3HDMI2SZ be used with HDMI 2.1 signals?

No - PCMF3HDMI2SZ is characterized up to 6 GHz differential bandwidth (−3 dB point), supporting HDMI 2.0's 6 Gbps per lane (18 Gbps aggregate). HDMI 2.1 requires ≥12 GHz bandwidth for 12 Gbps per lane (48 Gbps aggregate), exceeding this device's frequency response. Its common-mode suppression also rolls off above 3 GHz, making it unsuitable for HDMI 2.1 FRL mode emissions control.

How does the snapback clamping behavior affect circuit design?

The snapback-triggered ESD structure reduces clamping voltage under transient stress but requires strict adherence to VI limits (−0.5 V to 5 V) and avoidance of unlimited DC current sources on signal lines. If breakdown voltage (6–9 V) is exceeded continuously - e.g., by connecting to a battery - the device latches in low-impedance state, causing permanent failure. Proper biasing and series resistance are mandatory per Nexperia's application note AN11124.

Is PCMF3HDMI2SZ compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations?

Yes - PCMF3HDMI2SZ meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU (Pb-free, Cd < 100 ppm, Hg < 1000 ppm) and REACH SVHC thresholds (<0.1 wt%). It carries Nexperia's standard "Green" qualification marking and is manufactured in ISO 14001-certified facilities.
