Product details
Overview
PESD2ETH-AD from Nexperia is an ultra-low-capacitance double rail-to-rail ESD protection diode in SOT457 (TSOP6) package, designed to protect two high-speed automotive data lines-specifically 100BASE-T1 Ethernet and LVDS-against ESD transients up to 23 kV (ISO 10605) and 12 kV (IEC 61000-4-2), with per-channel capacitance of 2.0–2.3 pF at 1 MHz and reverse standoff voltage of 5.5 V.
For engineers reviewing the PESD2ETH-AD datasheet, PESD2ETH-AD pinout, PESD2ETH-AD application, or PESD2ETH-AD equivalent, this device is selected for AEC-Q101-qualified, low-distortion signal-line protection where sub-3 pF capacitance, rail-to-rail clamping, and dual-channel symmetry are critical for maintaining signal integrity in automotive Ethernet and LVDS interfaces.
Technical Context
The PESD2ETH-AD integrates three ESD protection elements: two symmetrical rail-to-rail diodes (pins 1/6 ↔ 4/3, referenced to GND and VCC) plus one dedicated Zener diode (pin 5 to GND), enabling robust clamping even when VCC is unpowered. Its architecture supports bidirectional transient suppression on differential pairs without DC bias dependency.
Clamping performance is characterized by dynamic resistance of 0.83 Ω (positive) and 0.62 Ω (negative), delivering VCL ≤12.3 V at 3.5 A (8/20 µs), while maintaining <100 nA reverse leakage at 5.5 V and forward voltage of 0.7 V at 1 mA-ensuring minimal loading on high-speed links.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Capacitance (per channel) | 2.0–2.3 pF @ 1 MHz, 0 V - preserves signal integrity on 100BASE-T1/LVDS traces up to 100+ MHz |
| Reverse Standoff Voltage | 5.5 V - matches 3.3 V/5 V automotive supply rails without false triggering |
| ESD Rating (IEC 61000-4-2) | ±12 kV contact - exceeds automotive OEM requirements for connector-level ESD immunity |
| ESD Rating (ISO 10605) | ±23 kV (330 pF, 2 kΩ) - validated for harsh vehicle-level discharge events |
| Clamping Voltage | 12.3 V @ 3.5 A, 8/20 µs - limits transient overvoltage to safe levels for PHY IC inputs |
| Dynamic Resistance | 0.83 Ω (positive), 0.62 Ω (negative) - ensures fast, low-impedance clamping response |

Pinout & Package
Package: SOT457 (TSOP6), plastic surface-mounted, 6-lead SC-74 outline; dimensions: 3.1 × 2.7 × 1.1 mm (L × W × H), pitch 0.95 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | I/O 1 | First protected signal line; bidirectionally clamped between VCC and GND via internal rail-to-rail diodes |
| 2 | GND | Primary reference ground for ESD current return path; must be low-inductance PCB connection |
| 3 | I/O 2 | Second protected signal line; electrically symmetric to Pin 1 for differential pair routing |
| 4 | I/O 2 | Redundant I/O 2 terminal (dual-pin assignment) - enables layout flexibility and lower inductance routing |
| 5 | VCC | Supply rail input for active clamping; allows enhanced protection when powered, but not required for basic operation |
| 6 | I/O 1 | Redundant I/O 1 terminal (dual-pin assignment) - supports balanced trace coupling and reduced loop area |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

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 NUP4201MR6T1G | Higher capacitance (15 pF per channel), single-rail (I/O-to-GND only), no VCC pin | Limited to non-differential, lower-speed interfaces (<10 Mbps); unsuitable for 100BASE-T1 or LVDS | Select only for cost-sensitive, non-automotive 5 V logic line protection where bandwidth is not critical |
| Vishay VEML6030X01 | Optical ambient light sensor-not an ESD protector; incompatible function and package | Not applicable; functional mismatch | Exclude from ESD protection selection; misidentified part in cross-reference databases |
Compared with NUP4201MR6T1G, PESD2ETH-AD delivers 7× lower capacitance and rail-to-rail clamping essential for automotive Ethernet, while VEML6030X01 is a sensor-not a protection device-making it invalid for substitution.

FAQ
Is PESD2ETH-AD compatible with 100BASE-T1 PHYs such as the NXP TJA1100?
Yes. The PESD2ETH-AD is explicitly validated in Nexperia's application diagram with the TJA1100 PHY for 100BASE-T1. Its 2.0–2.3 pF capacitance, 5.5 V VRWM, and rail-to-rail clamping ensure minimal signal degradation while meeting OPEN Alliance ESD test requirements. Layout guidelines specify placement within 3 mm of the connector.
Does PESD2ETH-AD require VCC to be powered for ESD protection to function?
No. The device incorporates three independent protection paths: two rail-to-rail diodes (I/O to VCC/GND) and one Zener diode (Pin 5 to GND). When VCC is absent, the Zener diode and GND-referenced paths provide full ±12 kV IEC 61000-4-2 protection, confirmed in Section 10 of the datasheet.
What is the significance of dual I/O pins (Pins 1 & 6, Pins 3 & 4)?
Dual I/O pins reduce PCB trace inductance and improve current sharing during ESD events. Pins 1 and 6 both connect to I/O 1, allowing symmetric routing of differential pairs; similarly, Pins 3 and 4 serve I/O 2. This design lowers clamping impedance and enhances high-frequency transient response, as verified in TLP characterization (Section 9).
How does PESD2ETH-AD's 23 kV ISO 10605 rating compare to typical automotive requirements?
The 23 kV rating (330 pF, 2 kΩ) exceeds standard automotive OEM requirements-e.g., GMW3172 specifies 15 kV, Ford ES-XW7T-1A278-AC requires 12–15 kV. This margin ensures robustness against worst-case human-body discharges in dry cabin environments and supports long-term reliability in zonal architectures with multiple exposed connectors.
