Product details
Overview
PESD12VS4UD,115 from Nexperia is a quadruple unidirectional ESD protection diode array in SOT457 (SC-74) package, designed to protect four signal lines against electrostatic discharge up to 30 kV (IEC 61000-4-2 level 4), with 12 V reverse standoff voltage, 10 A peak surge current (8/20 µs), and 24 V clamping voltage at 10 A - used in SIM card interfaces, USB data lines, and portable electronics I/O ports.
For engineers reviewing the PESD12VS4UD,115 datasheet, PESD12VS4UD,115 pinout, PESD12VS4UD,115 application, or PESD12VS4UD,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage under 10 A surge, sub-100 pF diode capacitance for high-speed signal integrity, ultra-low leakage (<15 nA at 12 V), and dual-common-anode configuration enabling compact 4-line protection without shared cathode routing.
Technical Context
The PESD12VS4UD,115 integrates four independent unidirectional ESD protection diodes sharing two common anode terminals (pins 2 and 5), forming two parallel anode groups - each protecting two cathodes (pins 1&3, pins 4&6). This architecture supports flexible line assignment while maintaining low differential resistance (≤25 Ω) and fast response to ESD transients.
It complies with IEC 61000-4-2 (±30 kV contact discharge) and IEC 61000-4-5 (10 A surge, 8/20 µs), delivering 200 W peak pulse power per diode. Its 73–100 pF capacitance at 0 V bias enables use on 10–50 Mbps data lines such as UART, SIM interface, and low-speed USB without signal degradation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Standoff Voltage (VRWM) | 12 V - maximum continuous operating voltage before conduction; sets upper limit for protected signal swing. |
| Clamping Voltage (VCL) | 24 V at IPP = 10 A - voltage seen by downstream IC during worst-case surge; ensures safe margin below typical 28 V absolute max ratings. |
| Peak Pulse Current (IPP) | 10 A (8/20 µs) - surge handling capacity per diode; validated per IEC 61000-4-5 compliance. |
| Diode Capacitance (Cd) | 73–100 pF at 1 MHz, 0 V - low enough to avoid distortion on 10–50 Mbps digital signals like SIM CLK/DATA. |
| ESD Withstand (VESD) | 30 kV contact discharge (IEC 61000-4-2 level 4) - exceeds industrial and consumer immunity requirements. |
| Reverse Leakage (IRM) | 0.05–15 nA at VRWM = 12 V - negligible loading on high-impedance signal paths like SIM reset or detection lines. |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 12.5–16 V at IR = 1 mA - ensures reliable turn-on just above VRWM, minimizing false triggering. |
Pinout & Package
SOT457 (SC-74) plastic surface-mount package: 6-pin, 3.0 × 1.7 mm body, 0.95 mm height, 0.65 mm pitch; optimized for automated placement and reflow compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode 1 | Protected signal line 1 input; connects to I/O pin requiring ESD clamping to common anode. |
| 2 | Common Anode A | Anode for diodes on pins 1 and 3; ties to system ground or local low-impedance return path. |
| 3 | Cathode 2 | Protected signal line 2 input; shares anode (pin 2) with pin 1 for compact dual-line protection. |
| 4 | Cathode 3 | Protected signal line 3 input; uses separate anode group (pin 5) to isolate from pins 1–3. |
| 5 | Common Anode B | Anode for diodes on pins 4 and 6; enables independent grounding or split-return layout for noise-sensitive pairs. |
| 6 | Cathode 4 | Protected signal line 4 input; completes quad-line coverage with minimal PCB area. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad-line unidirectional ESD protection | Four independent diodes in one SOT457 footprint - replaces four discrete TVS devices, saving >60% board space. |
| Dual common-anode topology | Two isolated anode groups (pins 2 & 5) allow differential or split-ground routing without crosstalk between protected lines. |
| Ultra-low leakage current | ≤15 nA at 12 V - prevents DC loading on battery-powered SIM card detection or wake-up lines. |
| Low clamping voltage | 24 V at 10 A surge - maintains safe margin below 28 V IC absolute maximum ratings in portable systems. |
| High-speed signal compatibility | 73–100 pF capacitance - preserves edge integrity on 10–50 Mbps interfaces including SIM I/O and UART. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous operating voltage for PESD12VS4UD,115?
The PESD12VS4UD,115 has a reverse standoff voltage (VRWM) of 12 V, meaning it can safely block up to 12 V DC or steady-state signal voltages without conducting. This makes it suitable for protecting 12 V-tolerant I/O lines such as SIM card interfaces and industrial sensor outputs, while remaining inactive during normal operation of the PESD12VS4UD,115.
How does the dual common-anode configuration of PESD12VS4UD,115 improve circuit protection?
The PESD12VS4UD,115 uses two separate common anodes (pins 2 and 5), allowing two independent pairs of protected lines (pins 1+3 and pins 4+6) to be grounded through different low-impedance paths. This reduces mutual interference during multi-line ESD events and supports noise-isolated routing - a key advantage over single-anode alternatives when implementing the PESD12VS4UD,115 in mixed-signal or high-reliability systems.
What is the clamping voltage of PESD12VS4UD,115 under a 10 A surge event?
The PESD12VS4UD,115 clamps to 24 V when subjected to a 10 A, 8/20 µs surge pulse (per IEC 61000-4-5). This value is measured from cathode to anode and ensures downstream ICs with 28 V absolute maximum ratings remain within safe operating limits during transient events - a critical specification confirmed in the official PESD12VS4UD,115 datasheet.
Can PESD12VS4UD,115 be used on high-speed data lines like USB 2.0?
Yes - the PESD12VS4UD,115 exhibits 73–100 pF diode capacitance at 0 V bias, which preserves signal integrity on USB 2.0 full-speed (12 Mbps) and low-speed (1.5 Mbps) lines. While not rated for high-speed (480 Mbps) operation due to its capacitance, it is widely deployed on USB-A peripheral ports where ESD robustness and cost-efficiency outweigh ultra-low-Cd requirements - a verified use case for the PESD12VS4UD,115.
What packaging and taping option does PESD12VS4UD,115 use?
The PESD12VS4UD,115 is supplied in SOT457 (SC-74) package on 4 mm pitch, 8 mm tape and reel - specifically the "T1" (normal taping) variant indicated by the suffix "-115" in the ordering code. This format supports standard pick-and-place assembly and is compatible with JEDEC-compliant reflow profiles, ensuring reliable manufacturing integration of the PESD12VS4UD,115.
