Product details
Overview
PESD3V3L1BAZ from Nexperia is a low-capacitance bidirectional ESD protection diode in SOD323 (SC-76) package, designed to protect one signal line against IEC 61000-4-2 level 4 ESD (±30 kV contact), IEC 61000-4-5 surge (18 A), with 3.3 V reverse standoff voltage, 101 pF capacitance, and 26 V clamping voltage at 18 A. It serves in high-speed data lines where low loading and bidirectional transient suppression are critical.
For engineers reviewing the PESD3V3L1BAZ datasheet, PESD3V3L1BAZ pinout, PESD3V3L1BAZ application, or PESD3V3L1BAZ equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, validated SOD323 terminal mapping, real-world protection use cases for USB/ HDMI/ audio interfaces, and confirmed alternative parts with documented clamping and capacitance trade-offs.
Technical Context
The PESD3V3L1BAZ implements a dual-cathode, bidirectional TVS structure - two back-to-back Zener-like junctions sharing a common anode node - enabling symmetrical clamping for ± polarity transients on a single line. Its design targets fast response (<1 ns) to ESD events while maintaining sub-100 pF capacitance to avoid signal integrity degradation on high-frequency lines.
It operates within a -65 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range, supports non-repetitive 8/20 µs surge pulses up to 500 W, and achieves ultra-low leakage (0.09 µA typical at 3.3 V), making it suitable for battery-powered and always-on interface protection without measurable standby current penalty.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 3.3 V reverse standoff voltage - ensures no conduction during normal 3.3 V logic-level signaling, preserving signal integrity. |
| Cd | 101 pF diode capacitance at 1 MHz - low enough to avoid distortion on USB 2.0 or I²C lines operating up to ~400 MHz. |
| VCL | 26 V clamping voltage at 18 A IPPM - limits transient overvoltage to safe levels for 3.3 V IO circuits per IEC 61000-4-5. |
| ESD Rating | ±30 kV contact discharge (IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4) - exceeds industrial immunity requirements for handheld and peripheral ports. |
| PPPM | 500 W peak pulse power - sustains high-energy surges without thermal runaway under standardized 8/20 µs waveform. |
| IRM | 0.09 µA reverse leakage at VRWM - negligible current draw in battery-sensitive applications like portable audio devices. |
Pinout & Package
SOD323 (SC-76) surface-mount plastic package: 2-terminal, 1.7 mm × 1.25 mm × 0.95 mm body, 1.3 mm lead pitch, cathode-bar marked end.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | K1 (cathode of diode 1) | Connects to protected line; forms first half of bidirectional clamp path when positive transient occurs. |
| 2 | K2 (cathode of diode 2) | Connects to same protected line; completes symmetrical clamp path for negative transients relative to ground. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional clamping | Enables single-device protection of AC-coupled or bidirectional data lines (e.g., USB D+, D−, I²C SDA/SCL) without polarity constraints. |
| 101 pF capacitance | Minimizes signal rise-time degradation and insertion loss on 480 Mbps USB 2.0 or 3.4 Mbps CAN FD lines. |
| 26 V clamping at 18 A | Keeps downstream 3.3 V transceivers within absolute maximum ratings during 1 kV EFT or lightning-induced surges. |
| 0.09 µA leakage | Eliminates measurable impact on battery life in always-connected IoT sensors or wearables with 10-year shelf-life targets. |
Applications
| USB 2.0 Interface Protection | HDMI CEC Channel |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting D+ and D− differential pair on USB 2.0 host ports exposed to user-handled cables and ESD-prone environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional transient voltage suppressor placed directly at USB connector, clamping ±15 kV air/±30 kV contact ESD before reaching PHY. Use Value: Prevents latch-up or gate oxide damage in USB transceivers while adding <0.1 dB insertion loss at 480 MHz. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding HDMI Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) line shared across multiple AV devices in home theater systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance ESD clamp on 1-bit open-drain CEC bus operating at ≤ 400 kHz, co-located with HDMI connector. Use Value: Maintains CEC signal timing integrity (tLOW ≥ 1.5 ms) with no added RC delay due to 101 pF loading. |
| Audio Line Input Protection | Industrial RS-485 Data Line |
Use Scenario: Shielding analog audio input jacks on professional mixers or USB-C DACs from handling ESD during cable plugging. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Symmetrical clamp on unbalanced line-level (±2 Vpp) or balanced audio inputs referenced to chassis ground. Use Value: Avoids audible pop/click artifacts by limiting transient overshoot to <26 V while contributing <1 mΩ series resistance. | Use Scenario: Protecting RS-485 receiver inputs in factory automation nodes connected to long, unshielded field wiring. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary surge limiter on A/B differential pair, coordinated with common-mode choke and TVS array. Use Value: Withstands 18 A IEC 61000-4-5 surge pulses without degradation, extending node uptime in electrically noisy plant floors. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor NUP4105MR6T1G | Higher capacitance (130 pF), lower clamping (20 V at 12 A), quad-channel configuration | Requires PCB area for four-line protection; less optimal for single-line space-constrained designs | Select when protecting multiple adjacent lines (e.g., USB ID/VBUS/D+/D−) with shared ground return. |
| Vishay ESDBLE5.0D1W | Lower VRWM (5.0 V), higher ESD rating (±30 kV), identical 101 pF capacitance | Not suitable for 3.3 V logic lines - risks leakage and false triggering near 3.3 V rail | Prefer only for 5 V tolerant interfaces such as legacy UART or GPIO with margin above 5 V. |
Compared with NUP4105MR6T1G and ESDBLE5.0D1W, PESD3V3L1BAZ offers the optimal balance of 3.3 V compatibility, 101 pF loading, and 26 V clamping - making it the most direct fit for modern low-voltage, high-speed serial interfaces without redesigning layout or signal conditioning.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous reverse voltage the PESD3V3L1BAZ can withstand?
The PESD3V3L1BAZ has a reverse standoff voltage (VRWM) of 3.3 V, meaning it blocks up to 3.3 V DC or steady-state AC signals without conducting. This value is confirmed in Table 6 of the datasheet under "Characteristics" and defines its safe operating window for 3.3 V logic and interface applications.
Does the PESD3V3L1BAZ require external biasing or control signals?
No - the PESD3V3L1BAZ is a passive, two-terminal device with no pins for enable, ground reference, or control. It functions solely via avalanche breakdown during overvoltage events and draws zero static current during normal operation at VRWM or below.
Can PESD3V3L1BAZ be used to protect a 5 V logic line?
No - its 3.3 V VRWM means it will begin leaking significantly above ~3.6 V and may clamp prematurely on 5 V signals, disrupting normal operation. For 5 V lines, select a part rated for ≥5.5 V VRWM, such as Nexperia's PESD5V0L1BAZ.
How is the bidirectional behavior physically implemented in PESD3V3L1BAZ?
The device integrates two oppositely oriented PN junctions sharing a common anode node - effectively two Zener-like diodes in series anode-to-anode - allowing symmetric conduction for both positive and negative transients relative to ground, as shown in Figure 8 of the datasheet application diagram.
