Product details
Overview
PESD5V0U1UB-Q from Nexperia is a unidirectional ESD protection diode in SC-79 (SOD523) package, designed to safeguard single high-speed signal lines against electrostatic discharge up to ±9 kV (IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4), with ultra-low capacitance of 2 pF (typ.), reverse leakage current of 1 nA (typ.), and 5 V reverse standoff voltage - deployed in USB 2.0, Ethernet PHY interfaces, and SIM card slots.
For engineers reviewing the PESD5V0U1UB-Q datasheet, PESD5V0U1UB-Q pinout, PESD5V0U1UB-Q application, or PESD5V0U1UB-Q equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, validated automotive-grade qualification (AEC-Q101), package dimensions, layout guidance for ESD suppression, and direct comparison with functionally aligned alternatives.
Technical Context
This device operates as a clamping-type unidirectional TVS diode, leveraging silicon PN junction behavior to limit transient voltages during ESD events while maintaining minimal signal distortion on protected lines. Its low 1.7–2.3 pF capacitance at 5 V bias ensures integrity for data rates up to 1 Gbit/s.
The diode exhibits a breakdown voltage of 5.8–8.8 V at 5 mA, clamps transients below 12 V (IPP = 4 A), and sustains operation across –55 °C to +150 °C ambient temperature - meeting automotive reliability requirements without derating at full temperature range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Standoff Voltage | 5 V - Maximum continuous operating voltage before conduction begins; defines safe signal swing margin for 3.3 V/5 V logic interfaces. |
| Diode Capacitance | 2 pF (typ.) at 0 V - Enables use on USB 2.0, FireWire, and 1000BASE-T Ethernet lines without signal integrity degradation. |
| ESD Withstand | ±9 kV contact discharge (IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4) - Meets industrial and automotive system-level ESD immunity requirements. |
| Reverse Leakage Current | 1 nA (typ.) at 5 V - Minimizes power loss and avoids false triggering in battery-powered portable electronics. |
| Breakdown Voltage | 6.8 V (typ.) at 5 mA - Ensures reliable turn-on before downstream ICs exceed absolute maximum ratings. |
| Junction Temperature Limit | 150 °C - Supports under-hood automotive placement and sustained surge handling without thermal runaway. |
Pinout & Package
SC-79 (SOD523) surface-mount plastic package: 2-terminal, 1.2 mm × 0.8 mm × 0.6 mm body, cathode marked by bar on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K1) | Cathode | Connected to ground or low-impedance return path; forms clamping node for positive transients on protected line. |
| 2 (A) | Anode | Connected to signal line requiring protection; conducts during negative ESD events when line goes below ground. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low capacitance | 2 pF typ. at 0 V enables <1% signal rise-time degradation on 480 Mbps USB 2.0 differential pairs. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive applications including infotainment and telematics modules per stress test protocol. |
| Low leakage current | 1 nA max at VRWM reduces standby current drain in always-on SIM card and sensor interface circuits. |
| Unidirectional clamping | Protects lines with fixed polarity (e.g., USB D+ referenced to GND) without forward-biasing during normal operation. |
Applications
| USB 2.0 Interface Protection | Ethernet PHY Line Protection |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ESD5V3U1U-2/TR | Higher VRWM (5.3 V), slightly higher Cd (2.5 pF typ.), same SOD523 package. | Better suited for 5 V tolerant interfaces where margin above 5 V is required. | Select when system rail tolerance exceeds 5.0 V and 0.3 V additional standoff justifies 0.5 pF capacitance increase. |
| TPD1E05U06DPYR | Lower VBR (5.5 V min), lower clamping voltage (9.5 V), same 2 pF Cd, but only qualified to IEC 61000-4-2 (no AEC-Q101). | Preferred for cost-sensitive consumer electronics where automotive qualification is unnecessary. | Choose for non-automotive designs needing tighter clamping and lower cost, accepting absence of automotive stress validation. |
Compared with ES5V3U1U-2/TR and TPD1E05U06DPYR, PESD5V0U1UB-Q uniquely balances 5 V standoff, 2 pF capacitance, and full AEC-Q101 compliance - making it the default choice for automotive USB, Ethernet, and SIM interfaces where reliability and signal fidelity are jointly critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of PESD5V0U1UB-Q during an 8 kV ESD event?
The typical clamping voltage is 11.5 V at 4 A peak pulse current (IPP), measured per IEC 61000-4-2 waveform. This value ensures protected ICs with 12 V absolute maximum ratings remain within safe operating limits during worst-case contact discharge events.
Can PESD5V0U1UB-Q be used on bidirectional signal lines like I²C?
No - it is unidirectional and only protects signals referenced to ground with defined polarity. For bidirectional buses such as I²C, a bidirectional ESD diode like PESD5V0S1BA-Q is required to clamp both positive and negative transients symmetrically.
Does the marking 'LA' on the device correspond to PESD5V0U1UB-Q?
Yes - Table 4 confirms the marking code 'LA' is assigned exclusively to PESD5V0U1UB-Q in SC-79 package, with the bar indicating Pin 1 (cathode), enabling visual verification during manual assembly and inspection.
Is reflow soldering profile information available for SC-79 package?
Yes - Figure 7 provides the recommended reflow footprint (solder land pattern) for SC-79 (SOD523), and Nexperia's generic SMD reflow guidelines apply: peak temperature ≤260 °C, time above 217 °C ≤60 s, ramp rate ≤3 °C/s, per J-STD-020.
