Product details
Overview
PESD2ETH100-TR from Nexperia is a dual-line automotive ESD protection diode in SOT23 package, designed specifically for OPEN Alliance 100BASE-T1 Ethernet bus lines. It delivers 30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact ESD immunity, 100 V minimum trigger voltage (Vt1), sub-3 pF capacitance (Cd = 2.5 pF typ), and AEC-Q101 qualification for in-vehicle network robustness.
For engineers reviewing the PESD2ETH100-TR datasheet, PESD2ETH100-TR pinout, PESD2ETH100-TR application, or PESD2ETH100-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include 100BASE-T1 compliance, differential line symmetry (ΔCd/Cd ≤ 0.5%), low dynamic resistance (Rdyn = 0.44 Ω), and verified 1000-cycle OPEN Alliance stress endurance.
Technical Context
This bidirectional TVS diode uses a common-cathode dual-diode architecture (pins 1 & 2 as cathodes, pin 3 as shared cathode) to clamp both differential signal lines symmetrically during ±8 kV ISO 10605 or ±30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 transients. Its TLP-measured Vt1 = 100–130 V ensures reliable triggering above 100BASE-T1 common-mode voltage limits while maintaining <24 V reverse standoff (VRWM).
The device achieves <3 pF capacitance per line with ≤0.5% matching (ΔCd/Cd), enabling minimal signal integrity impact on 100 Mbps differential Ethernet. Its dynamic resistance of 0.44 Ω at 70 A (100 ns pulse) and clamping voltage under 160 V (positive) / –160 V (negative) at 3.2 A peak pulse current ensure effective transient energy diversion without PHY damage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Trigger Voltage (Vt1) | 100–130 V (TLP, 100 ns): Ensures activation only above 100BASE-T1 common-mode operating range, avoiding false triggering. |
| Diode Capacitance (Cd) | 2.5 pF typ (1 MHz, 0 V); <3 pF max: Preserves signal integrity for 100 Mbps differential Ethernet with minimal insertion loss. |
| Capacitance Matching (ΔCd/Cd) | ≤0.5%: Guarantees symmetrical differential line loading, critical for return loss (Sdd11) and common-mode rejection (Ssd21) compliance. |
| ESD Withstand | 30 kV contact (IEC 61000-4-2) ×1000 cycles: Validated per OPEN Alliance specification for long-term reliability in automotive harness environments. |
| Reverse Standoff (VRWM) | 24 V max: Safely isolates 12 V automotive supply rails while allowing full 100BASE-T1 differential swing (±2.4 V). |
| Dynamic Resistance (Rdyn) | 0.44 Ω (70 A, 100 ns): Enables low-voltage clamping under high-current transients, reducing stress on downstream PHY ICs. |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Qualified for automotive grade operation (−55 °C to +150 °C junction): Supports under-hood and ADAS module deployment. |

| Low Dynamic Resistance | 0.44 Ω clamping impedance minimizes voltage overshoot during fast transients, protecting sensitive 100BASE-T1 PHY receivers from latch-up or damage. |
| Repetitive ESD Endurance | Validated for 1000 contact discharges at 30 kV - exceeds OPEN Alliance requirement and supports long-life vehicle ECU deployments. |
| Automotive Thermal Robustness | Junction temperature rating up to +150 °C and −55 °C to +150 °C ambient operation enable placement near power electronics or in engine bay modules. |
Applications
| 100BASE-T1 Automotive Ethernet | LVDS-Based Camera Links |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protecting differential pairs in ADAS domain controllers connecting radar, lidar, and surround-view cameras via 100 Mbps automotive Ethernet. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional ESD clamp placed between connector and PHY, providing symmetrical transient suppression without degrading Sdd21 insertion loss or Ssd21 common-mode rejection. Use Value: Maintains >–3 dB insertion loss up to 100 MHz and >–60 dB differential-to-common-mode conversion after 20× ±8 kV ESD events - ensuring functional safety compliance over vehicle lifetime. |
Use Scenario: Shielding LVDS video links from ESD in rear-seat infotainment displays and digital instrument clusters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-line transient suppressor mounted at board edge, clamping both LVDS+ and LVDS− against human-body-model discharges during service or assembly. Use Value: Sub-3 pF capacitance prevents signal rise-time degradation (<1 ns impact), preserving pixel clock integrity and eliminating display artifacts in 1080p video streams. |
| Automotive Body Control Modules | Electric Powertrain Gate Driver Interfaces |
|
Use Scenario: Securing CAN-FD or LIN-over-Ethernet gateways in body control units exposed to door harness ESD events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-leakage (1 nA typ at 24 V) ESD protector that avoids DC bias shift on communication lines during sleep mode. Use Value: Reverse leakage current ≤100 nA ensures no measurable increase in quiescent current - critical for meeting ISO 19453-3 battery drain requirements. |
Use Scenario: Protecting isolated gate driver feedback lines (e.g., DESAT, FLT) in traction inverter control boards. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-triggering (100 V Vt1) clamp preventing false desaturation trips caused by coupling from high-dV/dt IGBT switching noise. Use Value: Clamps transients within 100 ns while holding below 160 V - avoids spurious shutdowns and maintains inverter uptime during aggressive PWM modulation. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-line automotive ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor NUF2221MUTAG | Higher Cd = 5.5 pF; lower Vt1 = 12 V; not OPEN Alliance 100BASE-T1 certified | Suitable for generic USB/LVDS but fails Sdd11 return loss and repetitive ESD validation for 100BASE-T1 | Select only for non-automotive, non-100BASE-T1 designs where capacitance tolerance is relaxed. |
| Vishay VEML6040-GS08 | Single-channel, photodiode-based sensor - not an ESD protector; incompatible function | No ESD protection capability; serves ambient light sensing, not bus line hardening | Not a functional alternative - excluded from ESD protection use cases. |
Compared with NUF2221MUTAG, PESD2ETH100-TR provides 55% lower capacitance and OPEN Alliance certification essential for automotive Ethernet, while VEML6040-GS08 is unrelated in function and cannot substitute for transient suppression.

FAQ
Is PESD2ETH100-TR compatible with 1000BASE-T1 or only 100BASE-T1?
No - PESD2ETH100-TR is qualified exclusively for 100BASE-T1 (100 Mbps) per OPEN Alliance v1.0 specification. Its 2.5 pF capacitance and S-parameter performance are optimized for the 66 MHz bandwidth of 100BASE-T1; it does not meet the stricter return loss or insertion loss requirements for 1000BASE-T1 (1 GHz bandwidth) and lacks validation for that standard.
Can PESD2ETH100-TR be used on single-ended automotive buses like LIN or CAN?
It is technically possible but not recommended. The device's common-cathode dual-diode structure is optimized for differential pair protection. For single-ended buses, dedicated unidirectional protectors (e.g., PESD5V0S1BA) offer better clamping precision, lower leakage, and smaller footprint - PESD2ETH100-TR introduces unnecessary complexity and cost for non-differential applications.
What is the maximum PCB trace length allowed between PESD2ETH100-TR and the connector?
Per OPEN Alliance test methodology and Nexperia application note AN11176, trace length must be ≤5 mm from device pad to connector pin to maintain controlled impedance and minimize inductance-induced voltage overshoot. Longer traces degrade Sdd21 insertion loss and reduce clamping effectiveness during 1 ns rise-time ESD events.
Does PESD2ETH100-TR require external series resistors or RC filters for optimal performance?
No - the device is designed for direct placement between connector and PHY with no external components. Its matched capacitance and low dynamic resistance eliminate need for tuning networks. Adding series resistors would degrade signal integrity and violate OPEN Alliance S-parameter test conditions; RC filters introduce phase skew and are prohibited in validated reference designs.
