Product details
Overview
PRTR5V0U2AX-Q from Nexperia is an ultra-low-capacitance double rail-to-rail ESD protection diode in SOT143B package, designed to protect two high-speed data lines (e.g., USB 2.0 D+/D−) against ±12 kV IEC 61000-4-2 level-4 ESD transients. It features 1.8 pF I/O-to-ground capacitance, 5.5 V reverse standoff voltage, and integrates three ESD diodes-including a dedicated VCC-to-GND clamp-enabling robust protection even with no supply applied.
For engineers reviewing the PRTR5V0U2AX-Q datasheet, PRTR5V0U2AX-Q pinout, PRTR5V0U2AX-Q application, or PRTR5V0U2AX-Q equivalent, key selection criteria include sub-2 pF line capacitance for 480 Mbit/s USB 2.0 signal integrity, AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive environments, and rail-to-rail clamping without external bias dependency.
Technical Context
This device implements a triple-diode architecture: two symmetrical rail-to-rail I/O clamps (pins 2–1 and 3–1) plus a dedicated VCC–GND (pin 4–1) diode that prevents supply-line charging during ESD events. Its low 1.8 pF capacitance is measured at 1 MHz with 0 V bias across pins 2/3 to ground, enabling minimal signal distortion on high-frequency interfaces.
The integrated VCC clamp ensures protection remains active when VCC is unpowered or floating-a critical capability for hot-plug interfaces like USB and HDMI. Reverse leakage stays ≤100 nA at 3 V, supporting low-power system design while maintaining 6–9 V breakdown voltage per I/O path.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| ESD Rating | ±12 kV per IEC 61000-4-2 level 4 - guarantees immunity to real-world human-body-model ESD events without latch-up or degradation |
| I/O-to-GND Capacitance | 1.8 pF at 1 MHz, 0 V - preserves signal integrity up to 480 Mbit/s (USB 2.0) with <1% rise-time degradation |
| Reverse Standoff Voltage | 5.5 V - blocks normal operating voltages on 5 V or 3.3 V data lines while remaining transparent during signal transmission |
| Breakdown Voltage | 6–9 V - defines precise clamping onset to limit transient overvoltage before damage to downstream ICs |
| VCC-to-GND Capacitance | 16 pF at 1 MHz, 0 V - minimizes supply-line coupling while enabling effective VCC rail clamping |
| Ambient Temp Range | −40 °C to +125 °C - supports operation in under-hood automotive and industrial edge environments |
Pinout & Package
SOT143B plastic surface-mount package: 4-lead, 1.9 mm pitch, 2.9 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.0 mm body; optimized for high-density PCB layouts and reflow/wave soldering per JEDEC MS-012.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | GND | Common reference node for all three ESD diodes; must be connected to low-impedance system ground plane |
| 2 | I/O 1 | Protected high-speed signal line (e.g., USB D+); bidirectionally clamped between GND and VCC |
| 3 | I/O 2 | Protected high-speed signal line (e.g., USB D−); identical rail-to-rail clamping behavior as pin 2 |
| 4 | VCC | Supply rail connection for active clamping; enables protection even when VCC is unpowered or floating |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail I/O clamping | Enables full-swing signal protection on 0–5 V interfaces without DC bias requirements or signal attenuation |
| Triple-diode topology | Two I/O paths + one VCC–GND diode ensures complete transient suppression across signal and power domains |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive use including temperature cycling, HAST, and ESD stress per discrete semiconductor standard |
| 1.8 pF line capacitance | Meets USB 2.0 eye-diagram mask requirements with <0.5 dB insertion loss at 240 MHz |
| No external components needed | Self-contained protection eliminates need for series resistors or shunt capacitors, reducing BOM count and layout area |
Applications
| USB 2.0 Interface Protection | HDMI Signal Line Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting D+/D− differential pairs in host/device connectors against repeated ESD contact discharge. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive ESD clamp placed within 3 mm of USB connector; provides sub-nanosecond response to ±12 kV transients. Use Value: Maintains 480 Mbit/s data rate compliance by limiting I/O capacitance to 1.8 pF and clamping voltage to <12 V peak. |
Use Scenario: Shielding TMDS clock/data channels from ESD during cable hot-plug in consumer AV equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional rail-to-rail protector on each TMDS pair; operates independently of HDCP or video timing signals.

Use Scenario: Protecting MIPI CSI-2 or parallel camera interface traces between image sensor and SoC in compact mobile modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Ultra-low-capacitance guard for high-bandwidth imaging data; placed adjacent to sensor connector. Use Value: Preserves signal fidelity at >100 MHz pixel clock rates while surviving >10,000 ESD events per line per lifetime. |
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 NUP4201MR6T1G | Higher 3.5 pF I/O capacitance; dual-channel only (no VCC clamp); 30 kV air discharge rating but lower 8 kV contact rating | Limited to non-automotive, lower-speed interfaces (≤125 Mbit/s); lacks rail-to-rail clamping symmetry | Prefer for cost-sensitive industrial USB 1.1 designs where 1.8 pF is not required |
| Vishay VEML6075 | Not applicable - optical UV sensor, not ESD protection device | N/A | Invalid alternative; excluded from consideration |
Compared with NUP4201MR6T1G, PRTR5V0U2AX-Q delivers 2× lower line capacitance and integrated VCC clamping for true zero-bias protection-critical for automotive USB and HDMI where signal integrity and fail-safe operation are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by PRTR5V0U2AX-Q?
PRTR5V0U2AX-Q supports data rates up to 480 Mbit/s, as validated for USB 2.0 compliance. Its 1.8 pF I/O-to-ground capacitance ensures minimal signal distortion-measured to maintain <1% rise-time degradation and pass USB 2.0 eye-diagram mask testing at full speed.
Does PRTR5V0U2AX-Q require a supply voltage to function?
No-PRTR5V0U2AX-Q provides full ESD protection even with VCC unconnected or floating, thanks to its integrated VCC–GND diode. This enables safe hot-plug operation in USB and HDMI applications where supply sequencing is undefined or delayed.
How does the triple-diode architecture improve protection compared to dual-diode ESD arrays?
The third diode (VCC–GND) prevents transient energy from charging the supply rail during ESD events, eliminating risk of downstream IC latch-up or false power-on resets. Dual-diode arrays lack this capability and may allow VCC overshoot exceeding 15 V during ±12 kV strikes.
Is PRTR5V0U2AX-Q compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes-PRTR5V0U2AX-Q is qualified for standard lead-free reflow per JEDEC J-STD-020, with peak temperature tolerance up to 260 °C. The SOT143B package uses matte tin terminations and meets IPC/JEDEC standards for thermal cycling reliability.
