Product details
Overview
PESD2USB3B/C from Nexperia is a dual-channel bidirectional ESD protection diode array for high-speed differential data lines, featuring ±20 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge rating, 0.29 pF typical diode capacitance per line, and 0.2 Ω dynamic resistance under TLP stress - deployed in USB 3.2 and HDMI 2.0 interface protection at the connector.
For engineers reviewing the PESD2USB3B/C datasheet, PESD2USB3B/C pinout, PESD2USB3B/C application, or PESD2USB3B/C equivalent, this device supports footprint compatibility with PCMFxUSB3B/C common-mode filters, enables impedance-matched routing for 10 Gbps SuperSpeed signals, and delivers snap-back clamping behavior critical for SoC-level robustness in mobile and display interfaces.
Technical Context
The PESD2USB3B/C implements a TrEOS protection process with snap-back clamping architecture, achieving sub-2 V clamping voltage during ±20 kV ESD events while maintaining <0.3 pF capacitance to preserve signal integrity up to 16.1 GHz f-3dB. Its dual-channel structure isolates CH1 and CH2 signal paths with independent ground terminals (GND_CH1, GND_CH2), enabling channel-specific return path control.
Each channel integrates matched, low-capacitance diodes on both differential pairs (IN+/IN− → OUT+/OUT−), supporting bidirectional transient suppression without DC bias dependency. The WLCSP10 package's 4-2-4 bump layout ensures symmetrical trace routing and minimal stub length - essential for maintaining 90 Ω differential impedance in USB 3.2 Gen 2 and HDMI 2.0 layouts.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| ESD Rating | ±20 kV contact discharge per line (IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4) - protects downstream SoCs from system-level ESD without latch-up risk. |
| Diode Capacitance | 0.29 pF per line at 1 MHz / 2.5 V - preserves 10 Gbps eye opening and minimizes insertion loss in USB 3.2 Gen 2 channels. |
| Dynamic Resistance | 0.2 Ω (TLP, 100 ns) - enables ultra-low clamping voltage (<2 V) during fast ESD transients, reducing stress on PHY receivers. |
| Breakdown Voltage | 6–9 V at 1 mA - safely operates below 5 V supply rails while triggering before damage thresholds of USB/HDMI transceivers. |
| f-3dB Bandwidth | 16.1 GHz differential mode - supports full bandwidth of USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) and HDMI 2.0 (6 Gbps TMDS) without signal degradation. |
| Leakage Current | 1–100 nA per line at 5 V - negligible power loss and no measurable impact on receiver sensitivity or DC biasing. |
| Package | WLCSP10 (4-2-4 bump layout, 1.62 × 1.52 mm) - enables direct placement at USB Type-C or HDMI connectors with minimal PCB area and parasitic inductance. |
Pinout & Package
WLCSP10 package: wafer-level chip-scale package with 10 solder bumps in 4-2-4 configuration (1.62 mm × 1.52 mm, 0.4 mm pitch), optimized for high-density mobile PCBs and impedance-controlled routing.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | CH1_IN+ | External input + terminal for channel 1 - connects directly to USB 3.2 TX/RX+ or HDMI TMDS+ trace at connector. |
| A2 | CH1_IN− | External input − terminal for channel 1 - forms differential pair with A1; requires matched length and spacing. |
| A3 | CH2_IN+ | External input + terminal for channel 2 - routes to second differential pair (e.g., USB SS RX or HDMI CLK). |
| A4 | CH2_IN− | External input − terminal for channel 2 - completes second protected differential path with controlled skew. |
| B1 | GND_CH1 | Dedicated ground return for channel 1 - decouples noise between channels and maintains local reference for clamping. |
| B2 | GND_CH2 | Dedicated ground return for channel 2 - prevents crosstalk-induced false triggering between protected lanes. |
| C1 | CH1_OUT+ | Internal output + terminal for channel 1 - connects to SoC PHY or controller side, completing protected signal path. |
| C2 | CH1_OUT− | Internal output − terminal for channel 1 - mirrors C1 for balanced differential signaling post-protection. |
| C3 | CH2_OUT+ | Internal output + terminal for channel 2 - routes to host-side differential receiver with minimal stub length. |
| C4 | CH2_OUT− | Internal output − terminal for channel 2 - ensures symmetric layout and equal propagation delay vs. C3. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel differential ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPD2EUSB30DR | 0.5 pF capacitance per line, 1.5 Ω dynamic resistance, SOT-563 package (2.1 × 1.3 mm) | Higher insertion loss limits use to USB 2.0/3.0 (5 Gbps), not validated for 10 Gbps eye compliance | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs 10 Gbps performance; requires larger PCB area and compromises high-speed signal fidelity. |
| SP3203-02UTG | 0.35 pF capacitance, ±12 kV ESD rating, SC-70-6 package with shared ground | Lacks independent ground pins - unsuitable for noise-isolated dual-lane routing in HDMI or MIPI D-PHY | Choose only for legacy 5 Gbps designs where channel crosstalk tolerance is acceptable and footprint size is secondary. |
Compared with TPD2EUSB30DR and SP3203-02UTG, PESD2USB3B/C delivers superior high-speed performance (16.1 GHz bandwidth, 0.29 pF) and channel isolation (dual GND pins), making it the only option qualified for USB 3.2 Gen 2 and HDMI 2.0 full-rate protection in space-constrained mobile platforms.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for PESD2USB3B/C?
The absolute maximum input voltage is ±4 V per pin, with recommended operation limited to ≤3.3 V DC bias on protected lines. This aligns with USB 3.2 and HDMI 2.0 differential swing specifications and ensures reliable snap-back triggering only during ESD transients - not during normal signal operation.
Can PESD2USB3B/C be used for single-ended signal protection?
No - PESD2USB3B/C is designed exclusively for differential pair protection with matched IN+/IN− and OUT+/OUT− paths per channel. Its internal diode topology requires balanced differential signaling; applying it to single-ended lines (e.g., UART, I²C) violates its clamping symmetry and degrades ESD performance.
How does the dual-ground (GND_CH1/GND_CH2) design improve performance?
Dedicated ground terminals prevent current sharing between channels during multi-pin ESD strikes, eliminating crosstalk-induced false triggering and maintaining independent clamping behavior. Measurement data shows >30 dB inter-channel isolation at 1 GHz, critical for HDMI TMDS clock/data separation and MIPI D-PHY lane independence.
Is reflow profile compatibility documented for WLCSP10 packaging?
Yes - Nexperia specifies JEDEC J-STD-020-compliant reflow for WLCSP10: peak temperature 260 °C, time above liquidus 60–90 seconds, ramp rate ≤3 °C/s. The 0.1 mm stencil thickness recommendation (Fig. 23) ensures optimal solder paste volume to prevent voiding or head-in-pillow defects in high-density mobile PCB assemblies.
