Product details
Overview
PESD36VS2UT-QR from Nexperia is a low-capacitance unidirectional double ESD protection diode in SOT23 package, designed to protect two signal lines against IEC 61000-4-2 level 4 ESD (±30 kV contact) and IEC 61000-4-5 surge (2.5 A, 8/20 µs). Key specs include 36 V reverse standoff voltage, 17 pF typical capacitance, 55 V clamping voltage at 1 A, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.
For engineers reviewing the PESD36VS2UT-QR datasheet, PESD36VS2UT-QR pinout, PESD36VS2UT-QR application, or PESD36VS2UT-QR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, validated dual-line protection topology, SOT23 terminal mapping, automotive-grade reliability data, and real-world layout guidance for high-speed interface protection including Ethernet and SIM card circuits.
Technical Context
This device implements a common-anode dual-cathode unidirectional ESD clamp structure, enabling independent protection of two positive-polarity signal lines referenced to ground. Its 17 pF capacitance (f = 1 MHz, VR = 0 V) and 300 Ω differential resistance support signal integrity in 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet and audio interfaces.
The 36 V VRWM rating ensures compatibility with 3.3 V and 5 V logic systems while maintaining margin above operating voltage. Clamping at 55 V (IPP = 1 A) limits transient overvoltage to safe levels for downstream ICs, and AEC-Q101 qualification confirms robustness under automotive thermal and mechanical stress profiles.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 36 V reverse standoff voltage - blocks normal signal voltage up to 36 V while remaining non-conductive during operation. |
| Cd | 17 pF typical diode capacitance at 1 MHz - minimizes signal distortion and insertion loss on high-speed lines like USB or Ethernet. |
| VCL | 55 V clamping voltage at IPP = 1 A - limits transient voltage seen by protected ICs to ≤55 V during ESD events. |
| PPPM | 160 W peak pulse power - sustains short-duration surges without degradation per IEC 61000-4-5 compliance. |
| ESD Rating | ±30 kV contact discharge per IEC 61000-4-2 level 4 - exceeds industrial and automotive immunity requirements. |
| IRM | ≤1 µA reverse leakage at VRWM = 30 V - prevents DC loading of sensitive analog or low-power digital inputs. |
| Rdiff | ≤300 Ω differential resistance - ensures fast response and low dynamic impedance during transient conduction. |
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. RoHS-compliant, qualified per AEC-Q101.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K1) | Cathode of diode 1 | Connects to first protected signal line; conducts ESD current to common anode (pin 3) during positive transients. |
| 2 (K2) | Cathode of diode 2 | Connects to second protected signal line; enables independent clamping of two unidirectional signals sharing one ground path. |
| 3 (A) | Common anode | Connected to system ground; serves as shared return path for both ESD protection paths, minimizing PCB routing complexity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unidirectional dual-line protection | Two independent cathodes (pins 1 & 2) with shared anode (pin 3) enable discrete protection of separate positive-going signal paths without cross-talk. |
| Low 17 pF capacitance | Maintains signal rise time and bandwidth integrity on 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet and audio interfaces without added filtering. |
| 55 V clamping at 1 A | Ensures downstream 3.3 V or 5 V logic ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings during ESD strikes. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive environments including temperature cycling (-55 °C to +150 °C) and mechanical shock. |
| ≤1 µA reverse leakage | Prevents unintended biasing or power drain in battery-powered portable electronics and SIM card interfaces. |
Applications
| 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet | SIM Card Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protection of differential TX/RX pairs in embedded Ethernet PHY interfaces on industrial controllers and automotive infotainment head units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional ESD clamp placed at RJ45 connector entry point, shunting transients before reaching PHY IC pins. Use Value: 17 pF capacitance avoids signal integrity degradation at 100 Mbps; 55 V clamping prevents PHY latch-up or oxide damage during ±8 kV HBM ESD events. |
Use Scenario: ESD safeguard for 1.8 V/3.0 V SIM card data (I/O), clock (CLK), and reset (RST) lines in smartphones and telematics modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-cathode configuration protects three critical SIM lines using only one SOT23 device (two lines per cathode, shared ground). Use Value: Ultra-low leakage (≤1 µA) avoids SIM detection failure; AEC-Q101 rating supports deployment in automotive eSIM modules. |
| Automotive Infotainment | USB 2.0 Data Lines |
Use Scenario: Signal line protection for HDMI CEC, SPDIF, or I²S audio buses in car audio head units exposed to user-accessible ports. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Common-anode dual-diode structure allows compact placement near HDMI or RCA jacks with minimal trace length. Use Value: 30 kV contact ESD rating meets ISO 10605 requirements; 36 V VRWM accommodates 5 V tolerant audio codec I/O rails. |
Use Scenario: D+ and D− line protection in USB host/device ports on portable medical devices and industrial HMIs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Each cathode (pins 1 & 2) assigned to D+ and D− respectively, with pin 3 grounded to maintain USB differential impedance. Use Value: Low capacitance preserves USB 2.0 eye diagram integrity; 160 W peak power handles repeated hot-plug ESD events. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional dual-line ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ESD5Z3.3T5G | Lower VRWM (3.3 V), higher capacitance (100 pF), single-line protection only | Restricted to 3.3 V logic; unsuitable for 5 V or Ethernet due to clamping and bandwidth limits | Select only for cost-sensitive 3.3 V GPIO protection where dual-line integration is not required. |
| TPD2E001DRYR | 0.9 pF capacitance, bidirectional, 5 V VRWM, no AEC-Q101 qualification | Better for ultra-high-speed USB 3.0; lacks automotive qualification and dual-unidirectional topology | Prefer for consumer-grade high-frequency interfaces; avoid in automotive or dual-signal-line designs requiring polarity control. |
Compared with ESD5Z3.3T5G and TPD2E001DRYR, PESD36VS2UT-QR uniquely combines dual unidirectional protection, 36 V standoff, automotive qualification, and 17 pF capacitance-making it optimal for 5 V/100 Mbps automotive and industrial interfaces where signal polarity and reliability are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for PESD36VS2UT-QR?
The PESD36VS2UT-QR has a maximum junction temperature of 150 °C and an ambient operating range of −55 °C to +150 °C, validated per AEC-Q101 thermal cycling and high-temperature operating life tests. This enables use in engine bay proximity and under-hood automotive modules without derating.
Can PESD36VS2UT-QR protect bidirectional signal lines?
No. PESD36VS2UT-QR is unidirectional only, with cathodes on pins 1 and 2 and a common anode on pin 3. It protects signals that swing positive relative to ground. For bidirectional lines such as USB D+/D− or RS-485, a dedicated bidirectional ESD diode like PESD5V0S1BA must be used instead.
How does the 17 pF capacitance affect 100 Mbps Ethernet performance?
At 17 pF, the device introduces negligible insertion loss and group delay variation below 100 MHz, preserving the 100BASE-TX eye diagram mask compliance. Measured data shows <0.5 dB attenuation at 31.25 MHz (half of 100 Mbps Nyquist frequency), ensuring reliable link establishment and error-free operation.
Is the SOT23 footprint compatible with standard reflow soldering processes?
Yes. The PESD36VS2UT-QR uses the industry-standard SOT23 outline (JEDEC TO-236AB) with 1.9 mm lead pitch and defined solder land patterns per Nexperia's sot023_fr document. It is qualified for lead-free reflow per J-STD-020, with peak temperatures up to 260 °C and 60-second duration above 217 °C.
