Product details
Overview
PESD3USB3B/C from Nexperia is a triple-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 16.1 GHz f-3dB differential insertion loss bandwidth. It protects USB 3.2 SuperSpeed (10 Gbps), HDMI 2.0 (6 Gbps), and MIPI D-PHY interfaces in mobile and portable devices.
For engineers reviewing the PESD3USB3B/C datasheet, PESD3USB3B/C pinout, PESD3USB3B/C application, or PESD3USB3B/C equivalent, this device delivers ultra-low capacitance, footprint compatibility with PCMFxUSB3B/C common-mode filters, and validated eye diagram integrity at 10 Gbps-critical for maintaining signal integrity in compact high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The PESD3USB3B/C employs TrEOS™ snap-back clamping architecture to achieve dynamic resistance as low as 0.2 Ω during ESD transients, enabling sub-8 V clamping voltage under ±20 kV contact discharge. Its three independent differential channels each integrate matched pairs of low-capacitance ESD diodes with symmetric layout for impedance control.
Designed specifically for differential signaling standards, it maintains Zdif ≈ 90 Ω across 0–10 GHz (TDR-verified), exhibits <−40 dB differential crosstalk up to 10 GHz, and preserves USB 3.2 and HDMI 2.0 eye diagrams with minimal jitter degradation-confirmed via test board measurements with and without the device.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar differential ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPD4S012 | Single-channel, 0.5 pF capacitance, ±15 kV ESD rating; uses SOT-563 package | Limited to one differential pair; higher capacitance degrades 10 Gbps signal integrity | Select only when protecting isolated USB 2.0 or low-speed MIPI lanes where space allows larger package |
| SP3203-01UTG | Triple-channel, 0.35 pF capacitance, ±12 kV ESD rating; SOT-363 package | Lower ESD robustness and higher capacitance reduce margin for USB 3.2 Gen 2 compliance | Use only in cost-sensitive industrial designs where 5 Gbps operation and ±12 kV are sufficient |
Compared with TPD4S012 and SP3203-01UTG, PESD3USB3B/C uniquely delivers triple-channel protection with 0.29 pF capacitance and ±20 kV rating in a 2.42 mm × 1.22 mm WLCSP-making it the only option qualified for production-grade USB 3.2 Gen 2 and HDMI 2.0 interface hardening in space-constrained mobile platforms.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for PESD3USB3B/C?
The PESD3USB3B/C is rated for ambient and storage temperatures from −40 °C to +125 °C, matching automotive interior and industrial edge-computing thermal requirements. This range is validated per IEC 60134 limiting values and confirmed in accelerated life testing at 85 °C/85% RH for 1000 hours with zero parametric shift.
Can PESD3USB3B/C be used for USB 2.0 protection?
Yes-PESD3USB3B/C fully supports USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) applications with margin: its 16.1 GHz bandwidth and 0.29 pF capacitance introduce negligible insertion loss (<0.1 dB) at 240 MHz, and its ±20 kV ESD rating exceeds USB-IF ESD compliance requirements by 4×. It is commonly deployed in dual-mode USB-C ports supporting both USB 2.0 and USB 3.2.
Is the WLCSP15 package lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes-the PESD3USB3B/C WLCSP15 package is fully lead-free and RoHS 2011/65/EU compliant, with homogeneous material declarations confirming <1000 ppm lead content. It meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1) and supports standard Pb-free reflow profiles up to 260 °C peak temperature.
Does PESD3USB3B/C require external bias or control signals?
No-PESD3USB3B/C is a passive, bidirectional ESD protection device with no power pins, enable inputs, or configuration registers. It operates solely via intrinsic diode clamping behavior and requires zero external components or firmware integration, making it suitable for "set-and-forget" placement at high-speed interface connectors.
