Product details
Overview
PHDMI2AB4 from Nexperia is a quad-channel ESD protection diode array designed for HDMI 2.0 and DisplayPort ultra-high-speed differential signal lines. It delivers ±15 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact ESD protection, 0.2 pF line capacitance per channel, 0.4 Ω dynamic resistance, and operates across –40 °C to +85 °C ambient temperature - enabling robust protection without signal integrity degradation in 2160p/60 Hz video interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the PHDMI2AB4 datasheet, PHDMI2AB4 pinout, PHDMI2AB4 application, or PHDMI2AB4 equivalent, key selection criteria include differential insertion loss (< –9 dB at 10 GHz), matched 0.5 mm trace spacing, rail-to-rail clamping architecture, and DFN2510A-10 (SOT1176-1) package compatibility with high-density HDMI port layouts.
Technical Context
The PHDMI2AB4 implements four independent snap-back ESD protection structures optimized for differential signaling paths. Each channel features rail-to-rail clamping between VCC and GND, with breakdown voltage of 6–9 V and clamping voltage of ±5 V at ±5 A IEC 61000-4-5 surge current.
Its ultra-low 0.17–0.2 pF capacitance at 1 MHz and 1.5 V bias ensures minimal impact on HDMI 2.0 eye diagrams - validated by comparative TDR and eye diagram measurements showing < 25 ps skew and > 80% eye opening retention with device-in-circuit versus reference board.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| ESD Rating | ±15 kV contact discharge per IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 - protects downstream HDMI transceivers from human-body-model surges. |
| Line Capacitance | 0.17–0.2 pF per channel at 1 MHz - preserves signal integrity up to 6 GHz, critical for HDMI 2.0 148.5 MHz TMDS clock and data lanes. |
| Dynamic Resistance | 0.4 Ω typical (TLP, 100 ns) - enables low-voltage clamping during fast ESD transients, minimizing stress on protected ICs. |
| Clamping Voltage | ±5 V at ±5 A (IEC 61000-4-5 8/20 µs) - holds protected line voltage within safe operating range of HDMI PHY receivers. |
| Breakdown Voltage | 6–9 V at 1 mA - ensures reliable triggering before damage threshold of 3.3 V or 5 V interface ICs. |
| Ambient Temp Range | –40 °C to +85 °C - supports operation in consumer electronics enclosures without thermal derating. |
Pinout & Package
PHDMI2AB4 is housed in a leadless DFN2510A-10 (SOT1176-1) package: 2.5 mm × 1.0 mm × 0.5 mm body, 0.5 mm pitch, 10-terminal layout with two ground pins and four active signal channels. The package supports reflow soldering with 75 µm stencil thickness and provides thermal and mechanical stability for high-speed PCB routing.
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | LINE1 | ESD protection input for first differential pair (e.g., HDMI TMDS Data0+) |
| 2 | LINE2 | ESD protection input for second differential pair (e.g., HDMI TMDS Data0–) |
| 3 | GND | Primary ground return path for ESD current dissipation and low-inductance reference |
| 4 | LINE3 | ESD protection input for third differential pair (e.g., HDMI TMDS Data1+) |
| 5 | LINE4 | ESD protection input for fourth differential pair (e.g., HDMI TMDS Data1–) |
| 6, 7, 9, 10 | n.c. | No-connect terminals - left unconnected to maintain impedance continuity and avoid stub reflections |
| 8 | GND | Secondary ground terminal - enhances current spreading and reduces ground loop inductance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ultra-low capacitance | 0.2 pF/channel enables full HDMI 2.0 bandwidth (up to 6 Gbps) without measurable eye closure or jitter increase. |
| Snap-back clamping | Deep negative-dynamic-resistance behavior reduces clamping voltage to ±5 V under 5 A surge, limiting stress on connected SerDes PHYs. |
| Rail-to-rail protection | Integrated diodes clamp signals between VCC and GND - eliminates need for external bias rails or pull-up resistors. |
| Matched trace spacing | 0.5 mm pin pitch aligns precisely with standard HDMI microstrip routing, avoiding impedance discontinuities or crosstalk penalties. |
| Pass-through signal routing | Linear pin arrangement (1–2–3–4–5) allows direct in-line placement between connector and SoC - no layer transitions or vias required. |
Applications
| Smartphone HDMI Alt Mode | UHD Monitor Input Port |
|---|---|
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor ESD7L5.0DT5G | Single-channel, 0.35 pF capacitance, ±12 kV ESD rating, SOD-523 package | Requires four discrete devices for full HDMI lane coverage; higher total capacitance degrades 6 Gbps eye margin | Select only when board space permits discrete layout and system-level ESD requirement is ≤±12 kV. |
| Texas Instruments TPD4E001DBVR | Quad-channel, 0.6 pF/channel, ±8 kV ESD rating, SOT-23-6 package | Higher capacitance limits use to HDMI 1.4 (max 3.4 Gbps); lacks snap-back structure - clamps at higher voltage | Acceptable for cost-sensitive HDMI 1.4 designs where 4K60 support is not required. |
Compared with ESD7L5.0DT5G and TPD4E001DBVR, PHDMI2AB4 uniquely combines quad-channel integration, 0.2 pF capacitance, and ±15 kV snap-back clamping - making it the only option qualified for HDMI 2.0-compliant front-end protection without signal integrity compromise.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by PHDMI2AB4 without signal degradation?
PHDMI2AB4 supports HDMI 2.0 data rates up to 6 Gbps per lane, validated by differential insertion loss < –9 dB at 10 GHz and eye diagram measurements showing >80% eye opening at 148.5 MHz TMDS clock with 2160p/60 Hz video. Its 0.2 pF capacitance ensures negligible group delay variation across the HDMI 2.0 bandwidth.
Can PHDMI2AB4 be used for DisplayPort 1.4 applications?
Yes - PHDMI2AB4 meets DisplayPort 1.4 requirements with its 0.2 pF line capacitance, ±15 kV ESD rating, and differential TDR response showing <25 ps skew. It has been characterized on DP 1.4 reference boards and supports HBR3 (8.1 Gbps) mode when placed within 5 mm of the receptacle per VESA layout guidelines.
Why does PHDMI2AB4 have four no-connect pins (6, 7, 9, 10)?
Pins 6, 7, 9, and 10 are intentionally unconnected to maintain consistent trace impedance and minimize stub-induced reflections. Their inclusion in the DFN2510A-10 footprint ensures mechanical stability during reflow and matches the standardized pad layout for automated optical inspection and solder paste volume control - not for electrical functionality.
Is PHDMI2AB4 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes - PHDMI2AB4 is qualified for standard IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D lead-free reflow, with peak temperature tolerance up to 260 °C. The DFN2510A-10 package uses matte tin terminations and is compatible with 75 µm stencil thickness, achieving optimal solder joint formation per Nexperia's recommended footprint (2.45 mm × 1.25 mm land pattern).
