Product details
Overview
PESD2ETH1GT-QR from Nexperia is a dual-channel automotive-grade ESD protection diode in SOT23 package, designed specifically for 100BASE-T1 and 1000BASE-T1 Ethernet bus lines in vehicle networks. It delivers 30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact ESD immunity, <2 pF line-to-line capacitance, 100 V minimum trigger voltage, and AEC-Q101 qualification - enabling robust signal integrity in high-speed automotive Ethernet interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the PESD2ETH1GT-QR datasheet, PESD2ETH1GT-QR pinout, PESD2ETH1GT-QR application, or PESD2ETH1GT-QR equivalent, this device is selected for OPEN Alliance–compliant in-vehicle Ethernet protection where low capacitance, high trigger voltage, and post-ESD S-parameter stability are critical to PHY interoperability and EMC compliance.
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 transients on both differential Ethernet lanes simultaneously while preserving differential signaling integrity. Its clamping behavior is characterized by dynamic resistance ≤0.6 Ω and holding voltage of 28 V, ensuring fast response and minimal voltage overshoot during ±8 kV ISO 10605 events.
The device meets OPEN Alliance 100BASE-T1 specification requirements across all four mandatory tests - including return loss (Sdd11), insertion loss (Sdd21), differential-to-common-mode rejection (Ssd21), and RF clamping - with performance maintained after 20 repetitive ±8 kV discharges, confirming long-term reliability in automotive module-level EMC validation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| ESD Rating | 30 kV contact discharge (IEC 61000-4-2); ensures survival against worst-case human-body ESD events in assembly and field operation. |
| Capacitance | 1.8 pF typical (f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V); minimizes signal distortion and maintains >100 MHz bandwidth for 100/1000BASE-T1 compliance. |
| Trigger Voltage | 100 V min (tp = 100 ns); delays conduction until transient exceeds safe operating margin, reducing false triggering on normal signal swings. |
| Reverse Standoff | 24 V max (VRWM); compatible with 12 V automotive supply rails and 100BASE-T1 common-mode voltage range. |
| Holding Voltage | 28 V (Vh); guarantees latch-up-free recovery after clamping, preventing sustained current flow that could damage PHY drivers. |
| Dynamic Resistance | ≤0.6 Ω (IR = 40 A, tp = 100 ns); limits clamping voltage rise under high-current transients, protecting sensitive Ethernet PHY inputs. |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Qualified per stress test standard for discrete semiconductors; validated for -55 °C to +150 °C junction operation in engine bay and ADAS modules. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23 plastic surface-mounted package (2.9 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.0 mm body, 1.9 mm lead pitch), optimized for automated placement and reflow soldering in high-density automotive PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | K (cathode) | Connects to first Ethernet differential line (e.g., BI_DA+); forms one half of dual-clamp path to common cathode. |
| 2 | K (cathode) | Connects to second Ethernet differential line (e.g., BI_DA−); symmetrically matched to Pin 1 for balanced transient suppression. |
| 3 | CC (common cathode) | Shared cathode node tied to system ground or chassis reference; enables coordinated clamping of both lines without cross-talk. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual-line OPEN Alliance compliance | Fully passes all 100BASE-T1 EMC test suite (return loss, insertion loss, Ssd21, RF clamping) - required for Tier-1 Ethernet module certification. |
| Post-ESD parameter stability | S-parameters unchanged after 20× ±8 kV ISO 10605 discharges - eliminates need for post-stress revalidation in production testing. |
| Capacitance matching | ≤0.5% ΔCd/Cd between channels - preserves differential impedance and common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR) across temperature and voltage. |
| High trigger / low clamping trade-off | Vt1 ≥100 V with VCL <160 V at 2.3 A IPPM - suppresses destructive transients while avoiding interference with 1000BASE-T1 1-Vpp differential signals. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel automotive Ethernet ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor NUF2221MUTAG | Higher capacitance (3.5 pF), lower trigger voltage (70 V), no OPEN Alliance 1000BASE-T1 validation data. | Limited to 100BASE-T1 only; unsuitable for 1000BASE-T1 PHYs requiring <2 pF and >100 V Vt1. | Select only if cost sensitivity outweighs 1000BASE-T1 readiness and high-speed signal integrity requirements. |
| Vishay VEML6030X01 | Single-channel configuration, requires two devices; lacks common-cathode layout and AEC-Q101 automotive qualification. | Increases board area and BOM count; not validated for automotive EMC test suites or repetitive ESD endurance. | Use only in non-automotive industrial Ethernet where AEC-Q101 and OPEN Alliance compliance are not mandated. |
Compared with NUF2221MUTAG and VEML6030X01, PESD2ETH1GT-QR uniquely combines OPEN Alliance 100/1000BASE-T1 full-suite compliance, sub-2-pF capacitance, 100 V trigger threshold, and AEC-Q101 qualification in a single SOT23 footprint - making it the only drop-in solution for next-generation automotive Ethernet modules requiring zero-compromise EMC robustness.

FAQ
What is the maximum peak pulse current rating for PESD2ETH1GT-QR?
The rated peak pulse current (IPPM) is 2.3 A under 8/20 µs waveform per IEC 61000-4-5. This value reflects the device's ability to safely divert transient energy without degradation, validated across temperature and after repetitive ESD stress cycles per OPEN Alliance test protocols.
Does PESD2ETH1GT-QR support both 100BASE-T1 and 1000BASE-T1 standards?
Yes - it is fully compliant with OPEN Alliance 100BASE-T1 and validated against adapted 1000BASE-T1 test criteria including return loss, insertion loss, and differential-to-common-mode rejection. All published S-parameter data confirm performance retention up to 1 GHz with 1000BASE-T1–compatible common-mode chokes.
How is the common-cathode configuration implemented in the SOT23 package?
Pin 3 serves as the shared cathode terminal, while Pins 1 and 2 are individual cathodes connected to each Ethernet line. This topology enables symmetrical clamping action without internal series resistance or mismatch, preserving differential signal fidelity and minimizing skew between channels.
Is PESD2ETH1GT-QR qualified for under-hood temperature environments?
Yes - it is AEC-Q101 qualified with a junction temperature range of −55 °C to +150 °C and ambient operating range of −40 °C to +125 °C. Thermal derating curves and power dissipation data confirm stable clamping performance at elevated temperatures typical of engine compartment installations.
