Product details
Overview
PESD15VS5UD,115 from Nexperia is a fivefold unidirectional ESD protection diode array in SOT457 (SC-74) package, designed to protect up to five signal lines against IEC 61000-4-2 level 4 ESD (±30 kV contact), with 15 V reverse standoff voltage, 60–90 pF capacitance at 1 MHz, and clamping voltage of 33 V at 6 A surge current. It serves in high-speed data line protection for portable electronics and SIM card interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the PESD15VS5UD,115 datasheet, PESD15VS5UD,115 pinout, PESD15VS5UD,115 application, or PESD15VS5UD,115 equivalent, key selection criteria include per-line 15 V VRWM, ultra-low 50 pA IRM leakage at 15 V, 200 W peak pulse power capability, and validated 6 A IEC 61000-4-5 surge rating - all critical for compact, low-capacitance USB/SDIO/SIM line protection.
Technical Context
This device implements five independent unidirectional avalanche diodes sharing a common anode (Pin 2), enabling simultaneous protection of five positive-going signal lines referenced to ground. Its architecture supports bidirectional transient suppression when used with complementary devices or on single-polarity lines.
Clamping behavior is defined by a typical breakdown voltage of 17–19 V (at 1 mA) and a differential resistance of ≤25 Ω, ensuring fast response (<1 ns rise time) and low overshoot during 8/20 µs surge events. The 60–90 pF diode capacitance is measured at 0 V bias and 1 MHz, optimized for <10 Mbps data integrity in audio/video and mobile interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 15 V - Maximum continuous operating voltage before conduction; ensures no interference with 15 V logic or analog signal swing. |
| VBR (min/max) | 17 V / 19 V - Breakdown initiates within this range at 1 mA; defines reliable turn-on margin above VRWM. |
| VCL @ IPP=6 A | 33 V - Clamped voltage during 6 A 8/20 µs surge; limits downstream IC stress to safe levels. |
| Cd @ 1 MHz, 0 V | 60–90 pF - Low capacitance preserves signal integrity on high-speed lines like SDIO or USB 1.1. |
| IRM @ VRWM | 0.05–15 nA - Ultra-low leakage prevents battery drain in always-on portable electronics. |
| PPP | 200 W - Peak pulse power handling per diode; sustains multiple 8/20 µs transients without degradation. |
| ESD Rating | ±30 kV contact (IEC 61000-4-2) - Withstands human-body ESD events exceeding industrial immunity requirements. |
Pinout & Package
SOT457 (SC-74) surface-mount plastic package: 6-pin, 2.7 mm × 1.7 mm footprint, 0.95 mm height, gull-wing leads, JEDEC-compliant for reflow and wave soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode 1 | Protected signal line #1; connects to I/O trace requiring unidirectional clamping to common anode. |
| 2 | Common Anode | Shared return path to ground or system reference; must be routed with low-inductance connection. |
| 3 | Cathode 2 | Protected signal line #2; electrically isolated from other cathodes but shares clamping threshold. |
| 4 | Cathode 3 | Protected signal line #3; enables compact multi-line protection without discrete diode arrays. |
| 5 | Cathode 4 | Protected signal line #4; supports space-constrained layouts in smartphones and wearables. |
| 6 | Cathode 5 | Protected signal line #5; allows full SIM card interface (CLK, CMD, DAT0–DAT3) protection in one device. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Five-line integration | Replaces five discrete ESD diodes, reducing PCB area by >60% and eliminating routing mismatch. |
| 15 V standoff rating | Matches 12–15 V supply rails and analog sensor outputs, preventing false triggering during normal operation. |
| 60–90 pF capacitance | Enables use on 10–25 Mbps interfaces (e.g., SIM clock, UART, I²C) without signal edge degradation. |
| 30 kV ESD immunity | Exceeds IEC 61000-4-2 level 4 requirement, qualifying for CE-marked consumer and industrial end equipment. |
| 0.05 nA leakage | Minimizes standby current in battery-powered devices, extending shelf life and operational runtime. |
Applications
| USB 2.0 Data Lines | SIM Card Interface Protection |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protecting D+ and D− lines of USB 2.0 peripherals against ESD during hot-plug insertion. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional clamping diode array placed at connector entry point, shunting transients to ground via common anode. Use Value: Maintains 480 Mbps signal fidelity with <90 pF loading while surviving ±30 kV contact discharge without latch-up. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Five-cathode ESD array with shared anode, directly mapping to all five SIM interface lines in single-package solution. Use Value: Eliminates need for five separate 0402 diodes, reducing assembly cost and improving layout consistency across production units. |
| Audio Line Input Protection | Industrial Sensor Interface |
|
Use Scenario: Safeguarding line-in or microphone inputs on portable audio players and headsets from headphone-jack ESD events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-leakage (≤15 nA) clamping diode protecting AC-coupled analog inputs referenced to system ground. Use Value: Prevents audible pop/noise and ADC saturation during ESD strikes while adding negligible DC offset or noise. |
Use Scenario: Protecting 4–20 mA or 0–10 V analog sensor outputs in factory automation gateways exposed to field wiring transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated (15 V) diode array absorbing IEC 61000-4-5 surges up to 6 A on each output channel. Use Value: Ensures uninterrupted sensor data acquisition during 8/20 µs lightning-induced surges, avoiding system resets or calibration drift. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| PESD5V0S5UD,115 | 5 V VRWM, higher capacitance (165–220 pF), 20 A surge rating | Better suited for 3.3 V/5 V digital buses (e.g., HDMI DDC, I²C) where lower clamping voltage is prioritized over voltage margin | Select when protecting sub-5 V logic; avoid for 12–15 V analog or power-rail-adjacent signals due to premature conduction |
| TPD4E05U06DQAR | Texas Instruments part: 5.5 V VRWM, 0.5 pF/channel, 3 A IEC 61000-4-5 rating, DQFN package | Targeted at ultra-high-speed interfaces (USB 3.0, PCIe) requiring sub-1 pF loading; not rated for 15 V operation | Choose only for <1 Gbps serial links where capacitance is dominant constraint; incompatible with 15 V signal domains |
Compared with PESD15VS5UD,115, the PESD5V0S5UD offers lower clamping and higher surge current but sacrifices voltage headroom, while TPD4E05U06DQAR delivers extreme low capacitance at the cost of reduced voltage rating and surge robustness - making PESD15VS5UD the optimal choice for mixed-signal 12–15 V interfaces needing balanced performance.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for PESD15VS5UD,115?
The junction temperature limit is 150 °C, with ambient operating range from −65 °C to +150 °C. Derating applies above 85 °C ambient; thermal resistance (RθJA) is 300 K/W typical in standard FR-4 PCB layout with 1 cm² copper pad, requiring thermal vias for sustained high-power surge duty.
Can PESD15VS5UD,115 protect bidirectional signal lines like USB D+ and D−?
No - it is a unidirectional array with common anode architecture, suitable only for signals referenced positively to ground. For true bidirectional protection (e.g., USB 2.0), two PESD15VS5UD devices must be used back-to-back, or a dedicated bidirectional array such as PESD15VS5UB,115 should be selected.
How does the 60–90 pF capacitance affect 10 Mbps SPI communication?
At 10 Mbps (5 MHz fundamental), the 90 pF load introduces <1.8 Ω capacitive reactance, causing negligible attenuation or edge rounding on properly terminated traces. Measured eye diagrams show >85% eye opening at 10 Mbps with 50 Ω source/load, confirming suitability for SPI, SDIO, and UART interfaces.
Is PESD15VS5UD,115 compliant with automotive AEC-Q200?
No - it is qualified for industrial and consumer applications per JEDEC standards, but lacks AEC-Q200 stress testing (temperature cycling, vibration, humidity). For automotive infotainment or telematics, consider Nexperia's automotive-grade PESDxS5UAX series, which undergoes full AEC-Q200 qualification and operates from −40 °C to +125 °C.
