Product details
Overview
PESD2USB3SZ from Nexperia is a dual-channel ESD protection diode array for high-speed differential data lines, providing ±15 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge protection per line, 0.45 pF typical diode capacitance at 1 MHz, and 17 GHz f-3dB differential insertion loss cutoff - deployed in USB 3.1/3.2, HDMI 2.0, and MIPI D-PHY interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the PESD2USB3SZ datasheet, PESD2USB3SZ pinout, PESD2USB3SZ application, or PESD2USB3SZ equivalent, this device supports footprint-compatible replacement of PCMFxUSB3S common-mode filters, enables low-capacitance signal integrity preservation on SuperSpeed TX/RX pairs, and delivers snap-back clamping behavior with 0.16 Ω dynamic resistance under TLP stress.
Technical Context
The PESD2USB3SZ integrates two independent bidirectional ESD protection channels in a single WLCSP10 package, each featuring a TrEOS process-based clamping structure that exhibits snap-back behavior to reduce clamping voltage during ESD transients. Its differential architecture maintains impedance continuity with <85–115 Ω Zdif across 0–10 GHz.
It operates within –40 °C to +125 °C ambient temperature, supports 5 V DC input voltage, and achieves <100 nA reverse leakage per line at 5 V. The device is not intended for unlimited DC current sources due to snap-back state retention risk after breakdown.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| ESD Rating | ±15 kV contact discharge (IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4) per signal line - ensures robust system-level immunity for USB/HDMI connectors exposed to user handling. |
| Diode Capacitance | 0.45 pF typical at 1 MHz, 2.5 V - preserves signal integrity up to 10 Gbps by minimizing capacitive loading on differential pairs. |
| f-3dB Cutoff | 17 GHz differential mode - maintains full bandwidth for USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) and HDMI 2.0 (6 Gbps) without insertion loss degradation. |
| Dynamic Resistance | 0.16 Ω (TLP, 100 ns) - enables ultra-low clamping voltage during fast ESD events, protecting sensitive SoC PHYs. |
| Breakdown Voltage | 6–9 V (VBR, IR = 1 mA) - sets precise trigger threshold above normal signal swing (e.g., USB 3.1 common-mode ~1.2 V). |
| Leakage Current | 1–100 nA per line at 5 V - avoids DC bias shift or power drain in always-on high-speed links. |
Pinout & Package
Package: WLCSP10 (wafer-level chip-scale package), 1.62 mm × 1.52 mm × 0.60 mm max, 10-bump layout (4-2-4), solder land 0.25 mm diameter, stencil thickness recommended at 0.1 mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A1 | CH1_IN+ | External differential input positive for channel 1 - connects directly to USB 3.1 TX+/RX+ or HDMI TMDS+ trace at connector. |
| A2 | CH1_IN- | External differential input negative for channel 1 - routed with matched length and impedance to A1 for common-mode rejection. |
| A3 | CH2_IN+ | External differential input positive for channel 2 - supports second high-speed pair (e.g., USB 3.1 second lane or HDMI clock channel). |
| A4 | CH2_IN- | External differential input negative for channel 2 - isolated from CH1 pins to prevent cross-talk between protected lanes. |
| B1 | GND_CH1 | Dedicated ground return for channel 1 - provides low-inductance path for ESD current, electrically separated from B2 to avoid coupling. |
| B2 | GND_CH2 | Dedicated ground return for channel 2 - enables independent grounding for multi-lane systems without shared impedance. |
| C1 | CH1_OUT+ | Internal differential output positive for channel 1 - connects to SoC-side trace with minimal stub length to preserve eye diagram integrity. |
| C2 | CH1_OUT- | Internal differential output negative for channel 1 - forms tightly coupled pair with C1 to maintain differential impedance. |
| C3 | CH2_OUT+ | Internal differential output positive for channel 2 - routed adjacent to C4 to minimize skew and ensure <0.1 ps/lane timing mismatch. |
| C4 | CH2_OUT- | Internal differential output negative for channel 2 - completes second protected differential path to host controller or PHY. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Footprint compatibility | Direct replacement for PCMF2USB3S common-mode filters - eliminates PCB redesign when switching between filtering + ESD and ESD-only protection. |
| TrEOS clamping process | Enables snap-back behavior with sub-10 V clamping voltage under ±15 kV ESD - protects 28 nm/16 nm SoCs without latch-up risk. |
| Ultra-low capacitance | 0.45 pF per line - reduces signal attenuation and jitter accumulation in 10 Gbps USB 3.2 Gen 2 links. |
| High-frequency bandwidth | 17 GHz f-3dB - ensures flat insertion loss response across full USB 3.2 and HDMI 2.0 spectral content. |
| Multi-channel isolation | Separate GND pins (B1/B2) and physically decoupled bump arrays - prevents ESD energy coupling between differential lanes. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel high-speed differential ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPD2EUSB30DR | 0.5 pF capacitance, ±12 kV ESD rating, SOIC-8 package (3.0 mm × 3.0 mm) | Requires PCB real estate increase >10× and introduces 2× higher parasitic inductance due to wire-bond leads | Select when board space allows larger package and legacy SOIC assembly is preferred over WLCSP reflow. |
| ESD56201D05 | 0.35 pF capacitance, ±20 kV ESD rating, WLCSP10 but with non-identical pinout (GND pins shared) | Lacks independent GND pins → higher inter-channel coupling risk in multi-lane routing | Select only if system-level ESD margin exceeds ±15 kV and ground sharing is acceptable for target layout. |
Compared with TPD2EUSB30DR and ESD56201D05, PESD2USB3SZ offers optimal trade-off of ultra-low capacitance, dual independent grounds, and industry-standard WLCSP10 footprint - making it preferred for space-constrained, multi-gigabit designs requiring strict channel isolation and minimal signal distortion.

FAQ
Is PESD2USB3SZ compatible with USB Type-C connectors supporting both USB 3.2 and USB 2.0?
Yes - PESD2USB3SZ protects only the SuperSpeed differential lanes (TX/RX) and is fully compatible with USB Type-C layouts. It does not interfere with USB 2.0 D+/D− lines, which require separate ESD protection. Its 17 GHz bandwidth and 0.45 pF capacitance ensure no degradation of USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) eye diagrams, as validated in Nexperia's reference test boards.
What is the significance of separate GND pins (B1 and B2) in the WLCSP10 package?
Separate GND pins provide independent low-inductance return paths for each differential channel, preventing ESD current from one channel from coupling into another via shared ground impedance. This isolation is critical for maintaining signal integrity in multi-lane interfaces like HDMI 2.0 (three data lanes + clock) or dual-lane USB 3.2 implementations, and is confirmed in TDR measurements showing <0.5 Ω mutual ground impedance.
Can PESD2USB3SZ be used for HDMI 2.0 sink-side protection?
No - PESD2USB3SZ is optimized for source-side placement where ESD stress originates externally (e.g., cable plug insertion). Sink-side protection requires different clamping thresholds and transient response characteristics. Nexperia recommends PESD3USB3S for HDMI 2.0 sink applications needing three-channel coverage, or dedicated sink-optimized devices like PUSB3FR for asymmetric voltage handling.
Does the snap-back behavior of PESD2USB3SZ pose reliability risks during normal operation?
No - snap-back occurs only during ESD transients exceeding 6–9 V breakdown voltage and lasts <100 ns. Under normal 0–5 V signaling (e.g., USB 3.1 common-mode ~1.2 V), the device remains in high-impedance state with <100 nA leakage. The datasheet explicitly prohibits connection to unlimited DC sources - a design constraint, not an operational failure mode.
