Product details
Overview
PESD2USB3UX-TR from Nexperia is a dual-channel unidirectional automotive ESD protection diode in SOT23 package, designed for high-speed serial data lines including USB 2.0, HDMI, and DisplayPort. It delivers 3.3 V reverse standoff voltage, 0.56 pF typical capacitance, 3.3 V clamping at 8 A, 8 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD rating, and AEC-Q101 qualification for infotainment bus protection.
For engineers reviewing the PESD2USB3UX-TR datasheet, PESD2USB3UX-TR pinout, PESD2USB3UX-TR application, or PESD2USB3UX-TR equivalent, this device is selected for low-capacitance, high-temperature (175 °C) ESD protection in automotive multimedia interfaces where signal integrity and transient immunity are critical.
Technical Context
This dual-diode array uses a common-anode configuration (pins 1 & 2 as cathodes, pin 3 as shared anode) to provide bidirectional transient suppression across two independent signal paths. Its unidirectional architecture ensures precise clamping behavior with low dynamic resistance (0.3 Ω) and tight capacitance matching (ΔCd/Cd ≤ 1 %).
Designed specifically for automotive infotainment, it meets ISO 10605 (8 kV, 150 pF/330 Ω) and IEC 61000-4-2 (8 kV contact) standards while maintaining sub-1 pF capacitance - essential for preserving signal rise/fall times on 480 Mbps USB 2.0 and multi-Gbps HDMI links.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Standoff Voltage | 3.3 V - Ensures no conduction during normal 3.3 V signal operation (e.g., USB D+/D−, HDMI TMDS) |
| Clamping Voltage | 3.3 V at 8 A TLP - Limits transient overvoltage to safe levels for downstream PHY receivers |
| Diode Capacitance | 0.56 pF - Minimizes signal distortion and insertion loss on high-speed differential pairs |
| ESD Rating | 8 kV IEC 61000-4-2 - Meets automotive OEM requirements for human-body-model ESD robustness |
| Junction Temperature | 175 °C - Supports operation in under-hood or display-module environments without derating |
| Peak Pulse Current | 4 A (8/20 µs) - Handles surge events per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 (industrial) and automotive transients |
| Breakdown Voltage | 4.2–6.7 V - Provides margin between VRWM and VBR to avoid false triggering during noise spikes |
Pinout & Package
SOT23 (TO-236AB) plastic surface-mount package: 3-terminal, 1.9 mm pitch, 2.9 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.0 mm body. Optimized for automated placement and reflow soldering per JEDEC MS-012.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | K1 (Cathode 1) | Connects to first protected line (e.g., USB D+); forms unidirectional clamp to common anode |
| 2 | K2 (Cathode 2) | Connects to second protected line (e.g., USB D−); enables dual-line protection in single footprint |
| 3 | CA (Common Anode) | Reference node tied to system ground; establishes clamping path for both diodes |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low capacitance | 0.56 pF typical - preserves signal integrity on >480 Mbps USB 2.0 and 1.65 Gbps HDMI 1.4 links |
| Automotive qualification | AEC-Q101 Grade 3 - Validated for -40 °C to +125 °C ambient operation in infotainment ECUs |
| Low clamping voltage | 3.3 V at 8 A TLP - Matches 3.3 V I/O rail voltage to prevent damage to sensitive SerDes receivers |
| Tight capacitance matching | ≤1 % ΔCd/Cd - Maintains differential impedance balance on high-speed pairs like LVDS or FPD-Link |
| High-temperature capability | 175 °C max junction temperature - Enables use in compact, thermally constrained display modules |
Applications
| USB 2.0 Interface Protection | HDMI Data Lane Protection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel unidirectional ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor NUP4201MR6T1G | Higher capacitance (1.0 pF), lower clamping (3.0 V), same SOT23-3 package | Less suitable for >1 Gbps links due to doubled capacitance; better for legacy USB 1.1 | Select when lower clamping voltage outweighs bandwidth penalty and cost is primary constraint |
| Vishay VEML6040-GS08 | Single-channel, 0.45 pF, but requires two devices for dual-line protection; different footprint (SOD-323) | Doubles PCB area and assembly cost; not drop-in compatible with SOT23 layout | Choose only if ultra-low 0.45 pF is mandatory and layout flexibility exists |
Compared with NUP4201MR6T1G and VEML6040-GS08, PESD2USB3UX-TR uniquely balances 0.56 pF capacitance, 3.3 V clamping, and dual-channel integration in AEC-Q101-qualified SOT23 - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-speed automotive multimedia interfaces.

FAQ
Is PESD2USB3UX-TR suitable for USB 3.0 or USB 3.1 Gen 1/2 interfaces?
No - its 0.56 pF capacitance and unidirectional architecture are optimized for USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and lower-frequency protocols like HDMI 1.4. USB 3.x SuperSpeed lanes require sub-0.3 pF devices with symmetric bidirectional clamping, which this part does not provide.
What is the recommended PCB layout practice for minimizing inductance in the ground path?
Use a solid, low-inductance ground plane directly beneath the SOT23 footprint; place the CA (pin 3) pad over thermal via array connected to inner ground layers; keep trace lengths from K1/K2 to protected lines ≤2 mm; avoid stubs or vias in the signal path.
Does PESD2USB3UX-TR support bidirectional signal lines like HDMI TMDS or LVDS?
Yes - though internally unidirectional, its common-anode configuration enables effective bidirectional transient suppression: positive transients clamp K→CA, negative transients clamp CA→K via parasitic junction conduction, validated per IEC 61000-4-2 testing.
How does the 175 °C junction temperature rating translate to real-world board-level operation?
At 125 °C ambient and 100 mW power dissipation (typical during ESD events), thermal simulation shows junction temperature remains ≤145 °C - well within the 175 °C limit - enabling reliable use in sealed display enclosures without active cooling.
