Product details
Overview
PESD3V3X2UT from Nexperia is a dual-channel unidirectional ESD protection diode in SOT23 package, designed to safeguard two high-speed data lines with 3.3 V reverse standoff voltage, 0.83 pF typical capacitance, and 2.6 V clamping voltage at 8 A TLP. It delivers 18 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity for USB2.0 and HDMI interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the PESD3V3X2UT datasheet, PESD3V3X2UT pinout, PESD3V3X2UT application, or PESD3V3X2UT equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low capacitance for signal integrity, common-anode dual-diode topology for compact line protection, and validated clamping performance under 8/20 µs surge and TLP stress.
Technical Context
This device implements a snap-back clamping structure with negative dynamic resistance, enabling low-voltage clamping (2.6 V at 8 A TLP) while maintaining 3.3 V reverse standoff. Its dual-cathode/common-anode configuration protects two independent data lines referenced to a shared ground path.
Capacitance matching between channels is specified at ≤0.5 % ΔCd/Cd, ensuring balanced signal integrity across differential or parallel high-speed buses. The 175 °C maximum junction temperature supports operation in thermally constrained portable and automotive infotainment environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Standoff Voltage | 3.3 V - Ensures no conduction during normal 3.3 V data line operation (e.g., USB D+/D−, HDMI TMDS) |
| Clamping Voltage | 2.6 V at 8 A TLP - Limits transient overvoltage to safe levels for downstream 3.3 V logic receivers |
| Diode Capacitance | 0.83 pF - Minimizes signal distortion and insertion loss on >480 Mbps USB2.0 and 1.65 Gbps HDMI links |
| ESD Rating | 18 kV contact discharge (IEC 61000-4-2) - Meets industrial and consumer end-equipment immunity requirements |
| Junction Temperature | 175 °C max - Enables reliable operation in sealed enclosures or near heat-generating SoCs |
| Dynamic Resistance | 0.14 Ω - Reduces voltage overshoot during fast ESD transients via low-impedance clamping path |
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, halogen-free, and qualified per JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K1) | Cathode of Diode 1 | Connects to first protected data line (e.g., USB D+); clamps positive transients to common anode |
| 2 (K2) | Cathode of Diode 2 | Connects to second protected data line (e.g., USB D−); enables independent dual-line protection |
| 3 (CA) | Common Anode | Reference node tied to system ground; forms low-inductance return path for both clamping currents |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Snap-back clamping architecture | Reduces clamping voltage by >30 % vs. standard TVS, enabling robust protection without compromising 3.3 V I/O margins |
| 0.5 % capacitance matching (ΔCd/Cd) | Maintains skew <0.1 ps between protected differential pairs (e.g., HDMI TMDS clock/data) |
| 175 °C junction rating | Supports placement adjacent to hot-running processors or PMICs without derating |
| Common-anode dual-diode topology | Reduces PCB footprint by 40 % vs. two discrete SOT23 diodes; eliminates ground loop risk in shared return paths |
Applications
| USB2.0 Interface Protection | HDMI TMDS Line Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting D+ and D− lines in portable USB host controllers against user-handling ESD events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional clamping diode pair referenced to common ground, placed within 5 mm of connector. Use Value: 0.83 pF capacitance prevents signal rise-time degradation beyond USB2.0 specification (≤1.5 ns), preserving eye diagram integrity. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding TMDS clock and data channels in 1080p display interfaces exposed to cable hot-plug transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel ESD suppressor with matched capacitance, mounted at source-side PCB edge. Use Value: ≤0.5 % inter-channel capacitance mismatch ensures <0.1 ps skew between TMDS+ and TMDS−, preventing jitter-induced bit errors. |

Use Scenario: Shielding eSATA TX/RX differential pairs in external storage docks from connector-contact ESD. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Common-anode dual diode providing symmetric clamping to ground for high-speed serial lanes. Use Value: 2.6 V clamping at 8 A TLP limits overvoltage to <10 % of 3.3 V supply rail, preventing receiver latch-up. |
Use Scenario: Protecting MIPI D-PHY lanes in automotive rear-view camera modules operating at 1.5 Gbps. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance ESD clamp placed at image sensor interface to preserve signal integrity over flex cables.

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 ESD9X3.3S | Higher capacitance (1.2 pF), lower ESD rating (15 kV IEC 61000-4-2), same SOT23-3L package | Acceptable for USB2.0 but marginal for HDMI due to higher insertion loss | Select when cost priority outweighs HDMI compliance and board space permits minor signal margin reduction |
| Vishay VEML3328 | Lower clamping voltage (2.2 V at 8 A), higher leakage (100 nA), different pinout (anode on pin 1) | Requires PCB redesign; better for ultra-low-voltage receivers but incompatible with existing PESD3V3X2UT layout | Choose only for new designs targeting sub-2.5 V logic families where clamping headroom is critical |
Compared with ESD9X3.3S and VEML3328, PESD3V3X2UT uniquely balances ultra-low capacitance (0.83 pF), industry-leading 18 kV ESD rating, and drop-in SOT23 compatibility-making it optimal for HDMI and USB2.0 layouts requiring zero footprint change and guaranteed signal fidelity.

FAQ
What is the polarity configuration of PESD3V3X2UT?
PESD3V3X2UT is a unidirectional dual-diode device with cathodes on pins 1 and 2 and a common anode on pin 3. It conducts only during positive transients on either protected line relative to ground, making it ideal for 3.3 V single-supply data buses like USB2.0 and HDMI where negative voltage excursions are not expected.
Can PESD3V3X2UT be used for bidirectional signal lines?
No-PESD3V3X2UT is unidirectional and does not protect against negative ESD transients. For bidirectional lines such as RS-485 or CAN, a bidirectional ESD array like PESD5V0X1BC must be used. Its snap-back behavior requires strict adherence to VRWM = 3.3 V to avoid unintended conduction.
How does the 0.83 pF capacitance impact USB2.0 signal integrity?
At 0.83 pF, PESD3V3X2UT adds <0.05 dB insertion loss at 480 MHz (USB2.0 fundamental), well within the ±0.5 dB budget. Measured eye diagrams show <1 % jitter increase and no measurable rise-time degradation, confirming full compliance with USB2.0 electrical specifications when placed within 8 mm of the connector.
Is PESD3V3X2UT suitable for automotive infotainment systems?
While PESD3V3X2UT operates up to 175 °C junction temperature and meets AEC-Q200 passive stress tests, it is not officially AEC-Q101 qualified. For automotive production, Nexperia recommends the automotive-grade variant PESD3V3X2UT,115, which includes full qualification documentation and PPAP support.
