Product details
Overview
PESD1USB3S/CX from Nexperia is a single-channel ESD protection diode array for high-speed differential data lines, featuring ±15 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge rating, 0.45 pF typical diode capacitance at 1 MHz, and 6–9 V breakdown voltage (IR = 1 mA). It is designed for USB3.1/3.2 SuperSpeed TX/RX line protection directly at Type-C connectors in space-constrained mobile devices.
For engineers reviewing the PESD1USB3S/CX datasheet, PESD1USB3S/CX pinout, PESD1USB3S/CX application, or PESD1USB3S/CX equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low capacitance for signal integrity, WLCSP5 footprint compatibility with PCMFxUSB3S filters, channel-specific ground isolation, and dynamic resistance of 0.16 Ω (TLP, ±) to minimize clamping voltage overshoot during ESD events.
Technical Context
The device implements a TrEOS protection process enabling snap-back behavior with negative dynamic resistance, reducing clamping voltage under ESD stress. Its dual-rail architecture separates CH1_IN+/− (external) from CH1_OUT+/− (internal), with dedicated GND_CH1 terminal for channel-specific return path control.
Designed for >10 Gbps differential signaling, it maintains <−3 dB differential insertion loss up to 17 GHz and exhibits <−40 dB differential crosstalk across 100 MHz–10 GHz. The WLCSP5_2-1-2 bump layout ensures symmetrical trace routing and impedance matching (Zdif ≈ 90 Ω) on PCBs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| ESD Rating | ±15 kV contact discharge (IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4); protects SoC I/O pins from human-body-model ESD without latch-up. |
| Diode Capacitance | 0.45 pF typical at 1 MHz, 2.5 V bias; preserves USB3.1/3.2 eye diagram integrity and minimizes signal distortion. |
| Breakdown Voltage | 6–9 V at 1 mA; sets robust margin above 5 V supply rails while enabling fast clamping before downstream IC damage. |
| Dynamic Resistance | 0.16 Ω (TLP, 100 ns); sustains low clamping voltage (<12 V at 8 A) during fast ESD transients. |
| Surge Resistance | 0.25 Ω (IEC 61000-4-5, 8/20 μs); handles lightning-induced surges without thermal runaway. |
| Leakage Current | 1–100 nA per line at 5 V; avoids DC loading of high-impedance receiver inputs in battery-powered devices. |
Pinout & Package
Package: WLCSP5 (wafer-level chip-scale package), 5-bump layout (2-1-2), dimensions 0.82 × 1.22 mm, 0.31 mm bump pitch, 0.21 mm bump height.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | CH1_IN+ | External differential input positive rail; connects directly to USB3.1 TX+ or RX+ trace at connector edge. |
| A2 | CH1_IN− | External differential input negative rail; routed symmetrically with A1 for controlled impedance and common-mode rejection. |
| B1 | GND_CH1 | Dedicated channel ground; isolates ESD current return path from system GND to prevent noise coupling into adjacent circuits. |
| C1 | CH1_OUT+ | Internal differential output positive rail; connects to SoC USB3.1 PHY input, preserving signal integrity post-clamping. |
| C2 | CH1_OUT− | Internal differential output negative rail; maintains differential balance and common-mode rejection into protected IC. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Footprint compatibility | Matches PCMFxUSB3S common-mode filters-enables design reuse and layout flexibility without PCB redesign. |
| TrEOS snap-back clamping | Reduces clamping voltage by >30% vs. standard TVS diodes under 100 ns TLP pulses, protecting sensitive 28 nm/16 nm SoCs. |
| Ultra-low capacitance | 0.45 pF enables full compliance with USB3.2 Gen2 (10 Gbps) eye mask requirements on production PCBs. |
| Channel-isolated grounding | Dedicated GND_CH1 terminal prevents ESD current from injecting noise into shared system ground planes. |
| WLCSP5 miniaturization | 0.82 × 1.22 mm footprint saves >60% board area vs. SOT323 packages-critical for slim smartphone bezel designs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPD4E001DPYR | 0.5 pF capacitance, ±12 kV ESD rating, SOT-563 package (1.6 × 1.6 mm) | Larger footprint; higher leakage (500 nA); lacks channel-isolated ground | Choose when board space allows larger package and lower ESD immunity suffices for industrial USB2.0 ports. |
| ESD56081D05 | 0.35 pF capacitance, ±15 kV rating, WLCSP6 (0.9 × 1.4 mm), integrated RC filter | Includes 50 Ω series resistor for enhanced filtering but adds 50 ps group delay | Prefer for HDMI 2.0 where additional common-mode noise suppression outweighs minor timing penalty. |
Compared with TPD4E001DPYR and ESD56081D05, PESD1USB3S/CX delivers superior high-speed fidelity via its 0.45 pF capacitance and dedicated GND_CH1, making it optimal for USB3.2 Gen2 and MIPI D-PHY where sub-10 ps skew and <−40 dB crosstalk are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by PESD1USB3S/CX without signal degradation?
PESD1USB3S/CX supports full compliance with USB3.2 Gen2 (10 Gbps) and HDMI 2.0 (6 Gbps) due to its 17 GHz f−3dB differential insertion loss bandwidth and <0.45 pF capacitance. Eye diagrams measured on reference boards confirm pass/fail compliance with USB-IF and HDMI compliance test specifications under real-world PCB trace lengths up to 80 mm.
Can PESD1USB3S/CX be used for bidirectional differential protocols like USB3.1 Gen1?
Yes-PESD1USB3S/CX is inherently bidirectional and symmetric, with identical clamping characteristics on CH1_IN+/− and CH1_OUT+/− terminals. Its TrEOS structure ensures equal positive/negative dynamic resistance (0.16 Ω) and balanced breakdown voltage (6–9 V), enabling reliable protection for both transmit and receive lanes in USB3.1 Gen1 (5 Gbps) applications.
Is GND_CH1 required to be connected to system ground?
GND_CH1 must be connected to a low-impedance local ground plane near the device, but it should not be daisy-chained to noisy system ground nodes. Best practice is to tie it directly to a dedicated ground pour under the WLCSP5 footprint, then connect that pour to main system ground via a single short trace or thermal via-preventing ESD current from coupling into analog or RF sections.
How does PESD1USB3S/CX compare to standard TVS diodes in ESD response time?
PESD1USB3S/CX achieves <1 ns response time due to its optimized TrEOS snap-back structure, versus 3–5 ns for conventional silicon avalanche TVS diodes. This faster turn-on reduces the voltage overshoot seen by downstream SoCs during 15 kV contact discharge events, lowering failure risk in advanced-node processors with <1.2 V I/O tolerance.
