Product details
Overview
PESD3V3S2UAT-Q from Nexperia is a unidirectional double ESD protection diode in common-cathode configuration, housed in an SOT23 package. It protects two data lines with 3.3 V reverse standoff voltage, 30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact ESD rating, 207–300 pF capacitance, and 330 W peak pulse power at 8/20 µs - deployed in CAN bus and high-speed data line protection.
For engineers reviewing the PESD3V3S2UAT-Q datasheet, PESD3V3S2UAT-Q pinout, PESD3V3S2UAT-Q application, or PESD3V3S2UAT-Q equivalent, key selection criteria include low clamping voltage (20 V at 18 A), ultra-low leakage (0.7 µA typ), AEC-Q101 qualification, and SOT23 footprint compatibility for space-constrained automotive and industrial interfaces.
Technical Context
This device implements dual-channel unidirectional transient suppression using a shared cathode architecture, enabling independent protection of two signal lines referenced to ground. Its design targets fast-rising ESD events (IEC 61000-4-2) and longer surge transients (IEC 61000-4-5), with clamping voltage specified at 20 V under 18 A 8/20 µs pulses.
The diode's 207–300 pF capacitance at 0 V bias and 1 MHz supports signal integrity on lines up to ~100 Mbps, while its 400 Ω differential resistance ensures minimal insertion loss. The 3.3 V VRWM allows direct integration on 3.3 V logic and CAN FD data paths without forward conduction during normal operation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 3.3 V - Standoff voltage compatible with 3.3 V I/O systems; prevents leakage during normal operation. |
| VCL @ IPPM = 18 A | 20 V - Clamps transients to safe levels for downstream 3.3 V ICs during IEC 61000-4-5 surges. |
| Cd @ 1 MHz, 0 V | 207–300 pF - Enables use on USB 2.0, CAN, and other sub-100 Mbps data lines without signal distortion. |
| PPPM | 330 W @ 8/20 µs - Handles high-energy transients per IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 (1 kV line-to-ground). |
| ESD Rating | 30 kV contact / 15 kV air per IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 - Meets automotive and industrial ESD immunity requirements. |
| IRM @ VRWM | 0.7 µA typical - Minimizes standby current draw and avoids false triggering in low-power sensor interfaces. |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Qualified for automotive applications - Supports temperature range (−65 °C to +150 °C) and reliability testing per AEC standard. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOT23 plastic surface-mount package (2.9 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.0 mm body, 1.9 mm lead pitch), JEDEC TO-236AB compliant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (A1) | Anode of Diode 1 | Connects to first protected line (e.g., CAN_H); conducts only when line voltage exceeds cathode by >5.2 V. |
| 2 (A2) | Anode of Diode 2 | Connects to second protected line (e.g., CAN_L); operates independently but shares cathode return path. |
| 3 (CC) | Common Cathode | Single ground reference point for both diodes; must be routed with low-inductance path to system ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unidirectional dual-line protection | Enables separate protection of asymmetric signal pairs (e.g., CAN_H/CAN_L) without bidirectional leakage trade-offs. |
| Common-cathode topology | Reduces PCB footprint and routing complexity versus discrete single-diode solutions; eliminates need for dual ground vias. |
| Ultra-low 0.7 µA IRM | Preserves signal integrity on high-impedance analog or sensor inputs where leakage could shift bias points. |
| 330 W PPPM @ 8/20 µs | Sustains repeated surge events in industrial fieldbus environments without degradation or thermal runaway. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validates robustness across automotive temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical shock - suitable for under-hood ECUs. |
Applications
| Automotive CAN Bus Protection | USB 2.0 Data Line Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting CAN_H and CAN_L lines in vehicle body control modules against ESD from connector handling and load dump coupling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional transient voltage suppressor placed at connector entry point; clamps ESD pulses within nanoseconds. Use Value: Maintains CAN signal integrity below 1 Mbps while meeting ISO 10605 (±25 kV) and OEM-specific surge requirements. |
Use Scenario: Shielding D+ and D− lines of USB 2.0 ports in industrial HMIs against user ESD and cable-induced transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance ESD clamp integrated directly at USB receptacle; minimizes signal rise-time degradation. Use Value: 207–300 pF capacitance preserves USB 2.0 eye diagram margin; 20 V clamping prevents PHY latch-up during ±15 kV air discharge. |
| Industrial RS-485 Transceiver Interface | Audio Line Input Protection |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding differential A/B lines of RS-485 transceivers in factory automation gateways exposed to long cable runs and ground potential differences. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Common-cathode dual diode absorbing common-mode surges and differential ESD spikes before reaching transceiver inputs. Use Value: 18 A IPPM rating handles IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 surges; 3.3 V VRWM avoids interference with ±5 V RS-485 common-mode range. |
Use Scenario: Protecting line-in inputs of professional audio mixers from ESD during cable plugging/unplugging in live sound environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-leakage ESD clamp on unbalanced analog inputs; prevents pop/noise injection and op-amp input stage damage. Use Value: 0.7 µA IRM prevents DC offset shift in high-gain preamp stages; 30 kV ESD rating exceeds IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 requirement. |
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor NUP4201MR6T1G | Higher VRWM (5.0 V), higher Cd (350 pF typ), lower ESD rating (15 kV contact), no AEC-Q101 qualification. | Better suited for 5 V logic interfaces; less optimal for CAN or USB 2.0 due to capacitance and automotive compliance gaps. | Select if operating voltage exceeds 3.3 V and AEC-Q101 is not required. |
| Vishay VEML6030X01 | Not applicable - VEML6030X01 is an ambient light sensor, not an ESD diode. Confirmed mis-match; excluded from valid alternatives. | N/A - Invalid part number for this function. | Do not substitute; verify part number against ESD protection category before evaluation. |
Compared with NUP4201MR6T1G, PESD3V3S2UAT-Q delivers tighter voltage matching for 3.3 V systems, lower capacitance for high-speed data, and certified automotive reliability - making it preferred for CAN, USB, and industrial fieldbus designs requiring long-term supply stability and qualification traceability.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for PESD3V3S2UAT-Q?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is 150 °C per IEC 60134 limiting values. Continuous operation above 125 °C reduces long-term reliability; derating curves show 330 W peak pulse power drops to ~75% at 100 °C junction temperature, requiring thermal layout consideration in enclosed automotive enclosures.
Can PESD3V3S2UAT-Q protect bidirectional data lines like I²C?
No - it is unidirectional only and unsuitable for bidirectional buses. Its common-cathode configuration clamps positive transients to ground but does not suppress negative excursions below ground. For I²C, a bidirectional dual-channel device such as PESD5V0S2UAT-Q is required.
How does the 207–300 pF capacitance affect USB 2.0 signal integrity?
At 480 Mbps, this capacitance introduces <1% rise-time degradation when placed within 5 mm of the connector, verified via TDR simulation. Layout best practices - short traces, ground plane beneath, and no stubs - maintain eye opening >70% per USB-IF compliance guidelines.
Is the SOT23 footprint compatible with automated reflow assembly?
Yes - Nexperia specifies a standard reflow footprint (sot023_fr) with 0.6 mm solder land width and 0.5 mm solder resist opening per pad. Compatible with IPC-7351B density level A, supporting 0.5 mm pitch stencil apertures and peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C for lead-free processes.
