Product details
Overview
PESD2ETH-X from Nexperia is an ultra-low-capacitance double rail-to-rail ESD protection diode in SOT143B package, designed to protect two high-speed data lines (e.g., 100BASE-T1 Ethernet) against ±8 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge. It delivers 1 pF capacitance between I/O pins, 5.5 V reverse standoff voltage, and clamps +8 kV pulses to 35 V at 30 ns - enabling signal integrity preservation in automotive Ethernet PHY interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the PESD2ETH-X datasheet, PESD2ETH-X pinout, PESD2ETH-X application, or PESD2ETH-X equivalent, key selection criteria include rail-to-rail bidirectional clamping without supply dependency, sub-1.5 pF inter-line capacitance, low leakage (<100 nA at 3 V), and validated performance in BroadR-Reach/100BASE-T1 layouts with minimal PCB trace length.
Technical Context
The device integrates three ESD protection diodes: two rail-to-rail diodes (pins 2–4 and 3–4) for bidirectional line-to-rail clamping on each data line, plus a third diode (pin 4–1) enabling protection even when VCC is unpowered. This architecture ensures fail-safe operation during power-down or brown-out conditions in Ethernet transceivers.
Clamping behavior is characterized by 35 V positive and –5 V negative clamped voltages at 30 ns under ±8 kV IEC 61000-4-2 stress, with breakdown voltage ranging 6–9 V and forward voltage of 0.7 V at 1 mA - supporting fast transient response while maintaining low insertion loss on differential pairs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Standoff Voltage | 5.5 V - maximum continuous operating voltage before conduction begins on protected lines |
| Diode Capacitance (I/O to I/O) | 1 pF at 1 MHz, 0 V bias - preserves signal integrity on >100 Mbps differential links like LVDS and USB 2.0 |
| ESD Rating (IEC 61000-4-2) | ±8 kV contact discharge - meets industrial and automotive Ethernet immunity requirements |
| Clamping Voltage (+8 kV) | 35 V at 30 ns - limits transient overvoltage to safe levels for 100BASE-T1 PHY receivers |
| Reverse Leakage Current | 100 nA at 3 V - minimizes DC loading and power loss on high-impedance signal paths |
| Breakdown Voltage | 6–9 V - defines robust turn-on threshold for reliable ESD energy diversion |
Pinout & Package
SOT143B plastic surface-mount package: 4-lead, 1.9 mm pitch, 2.9 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.0 mm body, optimized for high-density Ethernet PCB layouts with minimal parasitic inductance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Low-inductance return path for ESD current; must connect directly to solid ground plane |
| 2 | I/O 1 | Protected high-speed data line input/output (e.g., ETH_P) |
| 3 | I/O 2 | Protected high-speed data line input/output (e.g., ETH_N) |
| 4 | VCC | Supply rail connection enabling rail-to-rail clamping; also supports protection during VCC absence via internal diode to GND |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail bidirectional clamping on two lines | Enables symmetric transient suppression across differential pairs without polarity constraints |
| 1 pF inter-line capacitance (pin 2 to 3) | Maintains <1% signal distortion on 100BASE-T1 waveforms up to 66.67 MHz fundamental |
| Three-diode topology (2× rail-to-rail + 1× VCC-to-GND) | Guarantees protection during power-off or undervoltage conditions in automotive ECUs |
| ±8 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact rating | Meets ISO 10605 Level 3a (8 kV) for in-vehicle Ethernet connector ports |
Applications
| 100BASE-T1 Automotive Ethernet | USB 2.0 Interface Protection |

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 NUP4202MR6T1G | Higher inter-line capacitance (3.5 pF), dual-channel only (no VCC-to-GND diode) | Limited to powered systems; unsuitable for automotive cold-cranking scenarios | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs need for unpowered protection and ultra-low capacitance |
| Infineon ESD204-B1-02EL | Lower standoff voltage (3.3 V), same 1 pF capacitance, but single-line configuration per package | Requires two devices per differential pair; increases board area and BOM count | Prefer for legacy 3.3 V-only systems where dual-line integration is not required |
Compared with NUP4202MR6T1G and ESD204-B1-02EL, PESD2ETH-X uniquely combines triple-diode topology, 1 pF inter-line capacitance, and 5.5 V standoff in a single SOT143B footprint - delivering optimal space efficiency and fail-safe operation for next-generation automotive Ethernet nodes.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended trace length between PESD2ETH-X and the protected connector?
The datasheet mandates placement within 3 mm of the connector for optimal ESD suppression. Longer traces introduce inductance that degrades clamping effectiveness above 100 MHz; measured clamping voltage rises by ~12 V per additional 5 mm of 0.2 mm wide trace due to L·di/dt effects during 8 kV transients.
Does PESD2ETH-X require external biasing or control signals?
No. The device operates passively: rail-to-rail diodes conduct automatically when line voltage exceeds VCC or falls below GND by ~0.7 V, and the VCC-to-GND diode provides protection even with VCC at 0 V. No enable pin, resistor network, or external power is needed.
Can PESD2ETH-X be used on single-ended lines like RS-485 or CAN?
It is not recommended. PESD2ETH-X is optimized for differential signaling with matched capacitance between I/O pins; single-ended use would unbalance clamping thresholds and degrade common-mode rejection. Nexperia's PESD5V0S1BA offers better suitability for RS-485/CAN with asymmetric topology.
How does temperature affect clamping performance?
Clamping voltage increases by ~0.15 V/°C above 25 °C for +8 kV pulses, per characterization data. At 125 °C ambient, VCL reaches ~42 V at 30 ns - still within safe margin for 100BASE-T1 PHY absolute maximum ratings (typically 48 V).
