Product details
Overview
PESD15VS5UD-Q from Nexperia is a five-channel unidirectional ESD protection diode array in SOT457 (SC-74/TSOP6) 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, 33 V clamping voltage at 6 A, and 60 pF typical diode capacitance - deployed in SIM card interfaces and high-speed data lines of automotive infotainment systems.
For engineers reviewing the PESD15VS5UD-Q datasheet, PESD15VS5UD-Q pinout, PESD15VS5UD-Q application, or PESD15VS5UD-Q equivalent, key selection criteria include low leakage (0.05 nA), AEC-Q101 qualification, 200 W peak pulse power rating, and compact 6-pin TSOP6 layout for space-constrained PCBs handling bidirectional transient suppression on mixed-polarity signal paths.
Technical Context
This device implements five independent unidirectional TVS diodes sharing a common anode (Pin 2), enabling coordinated clamping of positive transients across five signal lines while maintaining isolation between cathodes (Pins 1,3–6). Its architecture supports both positive- and negative-polarity signal protection relative to ground without external biasing.
Clamping performance is characterized by 33 V maximum at 6 A (8/20 µs surge), 22 V typical at 1 A, and differential resistance of 25 Ω - ensuring fast response (<1 ns rise time per IEC 61000-4-2) and minimal voltage overshoot during ESD events on high-speed interfaces like USB 2.0 or SIM I/O.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Standoff Voltage | 15 V - Maximum continuous operating voltage before conduction begins; defines safe signal swing range for protected lines. |
| Clamping Voltage | 33 V at 6 A (8/20 µs) - Peak voltage seen by downstream IC during worst-case surge; ensures logic-level compatibility with 3.3 V/5 V interfaces. |
| Diode Capacitance | 60 pF typical at 0 V - Low enough to avoid signal integrity degradation on data lines up to ~100 MHz (e.g., SIM clock, UART). |
| Peak Pulse Power | 200 W - Sustains transient energy from IEC 61000-4-5 surges without thermal failure under single-event stress. |
| ESD Rating | ±30 kV contact discharge (IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4) - Meets automotive and industrial immunity requirements for exposed connectors. |
| Leakage Current | 0.05 nA at 15 V - Negligible DC loading on battery-powered or high-impedance sensor inputs. |
| Breakdown Voltage | 18 V typical at 1 mA - Confirms robust margin above 15 V VRWM to prevent premature conduction. |
Pinout & Package
SOT457 (SC-74/TSOP6) is a 6-lead surface-mount plastic package measuring 3.1 mm × 1.7 mm × 1.1 mm, optimized for automated placement and reflow soldering with defined footprint per Figure 10 (reflow) and Figure 11 (wave).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | K1 | Cathode of Channel 1 - Connects to first protected signal line; conducts transient current to common anode during overvoltage. |
| 2 | CA | Common Anode - Tied to system ground or low-impedance return path; serves as shared surge current sink for all five channels. |
| 3 | K2 | Cathode of Channel 2 - Isolated cathode for second signal line; enables independent protection without crosstalk. |
| 4 | K3 | Cathode of Channel 3 - Supports third protected line (e.g., SIM data) with identical clamping behavior as K1/K2. |
| 5 | K4 | Cathode of Channel 4 - Used for fourth signal (e.g., SIM clock) with matched capacitance and leakage. |
| 6 | K5 | Cathode of Channel 5 - Completes five-line protection set; layout symmetry minimizes parasitic inductance imbalance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including infotainment and telematics modules requiring extended temperature operation (−65 °C to +150 °C). |
| Low clamping voltage | 33 V max at 6 A ensures downstream 3.3 V logic ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings during surge events. |
| Ultra-low leakage | 0.05 nA at 15 V prevents battery drain in portable electronics and avoids false triggering in high-impedance analog sensing paths. |
| Compact 6-pin TSOP6 | Reduces PCB area by >40% vs. discrete diode solutions for five-line protection, simplifying layout near connectors. |
| IEC 61000-4-5 compliant | Withstands 6 A surge current (8/20 µs), supporting Ethernet PHY, USB, and CAN FD interface protection in harsh environments. |
Applications
| Cellular Handset SIM Interface | Automotive Infotainment Display Link |
|---|---|

Use Value: Achieves full IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 compliance without degrading 480 Mbps data eye diagram due to low 60 pF capacitance. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding four GPIOs plus power line of capacitive touch controller in factory HMIs subjected to operator ESD. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional-capable protection (via dual-rail configuration) on touch sense lines, leveraging same clamping threshold for rising/falling edges.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor SZPESD5V0S1BA | Single-channel SOD-323; 5 V VRWM; 12 V clamping at 1 A; 100 pF capacitance. | Requires five discrete placements; higher capacitance limits use on >50 MHz lines. | Select when board space allows discrete layout and lower clamping voltage is prioritized over channel count. |
| Vishay VEML6030X01 | Not applicable - optical ambient light sensor, not an ESD protector. | N/A - incorrect functional category. | Exclude; misidentified as ESD device in cross-reference databases. |
Compared with PESD15VS5UD-Q, SZPESD5V0S1BA offers tighter clamping but lacks integrated multi-line efficiency and AEC-Q101 validation, while VEML6030X01 is functionally unrelated and must be discarded from ESD protection consideration.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for PESD15VS5UD-Q?
The junction temperature limit is 150 °C, and the ambient operating range spans −65 °C to +150 °C per IEC 60134 limiting values. This enables deployment in engine bay proximity or sealed industrial enclosures where thermal dissipation is constrained.
Can PESD15VS5UD-Q protect bidirectional signal lines?
Yes - though internally unidirectional, it supports bidirectional protection when paired with a second identical device or used in configurations where signal polarity alternates relative to ground, as confirmed in Section 10 of the datasheet application diagram.
How does the common anode (Pin 2) affect PCB layout?
Pin 2 must connect to a low-inductance ground plane with minimal trace length (<2 mm recommended); splitting or daisy-chaining this node introduces impedance that degrades clamping response and risks unequal current sharing across channels.
Is PESD15VS5UD-Q compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes - its SOT457 package is qualified for standard Pb-free reflow profiles (J-STD-020), with peak temperature tolerance up to 260 °C and moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1, eliminating bake requirements prior to assembly.
