Product details
Overview
PRTR5V0U6AS from NXP Semiconductors is a six-channel ultra-low-capacitance ESD protection diode array designed for high-speed I/O interfaces including USB 2.0, HDMI, DVI, and Ethernet. It delivers ±8 kV contact ESD protection per IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4, features 1 pF typical input capacitance per channel, operates up to 5.5 V supply, and integrates rail-to-rail diodes with a clamping Zener for supply-voltage-independent protection.
For engineers reviewing the PRTR5V0U6AS datasheet, PRTR5V0U6AS pinout, PRTR5V0U6AS application, or PRTR5V0U6AS equivalent, key selection criteria include ultra-low signal-line capacitance (1 pF), guaranteed ±8 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge rating, SO8 (SOT96) package compatibility, and supply-independent clamping behavior enabled by integrated Zener architecture.
Technical Context
The PRTR5V0U6AS implements six independent rail-to-rail ESD protection paths-each connecting an I/O pin to GND and VCC-combined with a shared Zener diode tied to pin 7 (VCC) to enable voltage-clamped discharge independent of system supply level. This architecture ensures consistent ESD clamping performance across varying host supply conditions without requiring external biasing.
Its monolithic silicon construction integrates all six protection channels plus the Zener in a single die, minimizing parasitic inductance and enabling operation at frequencies up to several hundred MHz. The device is optimized for signal integrity preservation on high-speed differential and single-ended lines where sub-1.5 pF capacitance is critical to avoid signal degradation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| ESD Rating | ±8 kV contact discharge per IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 - guarantees robust immunity against common handling ESD events without signal line disruption. |
| Input Capacitance | 1.0 pF typical (I/O-to-GND @ 1 MHz, 0 V bias) - preserves signal integrity on USB 2.0, HDMI, and DVI links with minimal rise-time degradation. |
| Clamping Voltage | Breakdown voltage 6–9 V (Zener, II = 1 mA) - establishes reliable overvoltage threshold independent of VCC level. |
| Supply Range | 0 V to 5.5 V operating - supports 3.3 V and 5 V interface rails without derating or external components. |

| Package | SO8 (SOT96-1), 3.9 mm body width - industry-standard footprint compatible with automated PCB assembly and thermal management. |
Pinout & Package
PRTR5V0U6AS uses an 8-lead plastic small outline package (SO8, SOT96-1) with standard 1.27 mm lead pitch and 3.9 mm body width. Pin 1 is marked by a notch or bevel; pin numbering follows counterclockwise convention from top-left when viewed with marking side up.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8 | I/O Protection Channel Input/Output | Each connects to one protected signal line; bidirectional rail-to-rail clamping path to GND and VCC via internal diodes. |
| 3 | Ground (GND) | Common reference node for all ESD current shunting paths; must be low-inductance connection to system ground plane. |
| 7 | Supply Voltage (VCC) | Connects to host system supply; ties Zener anode to enable supply-independent clamping; not a power input but clamping reference. |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for the PRTR5V0U6AS?
The PRTR5V0U6AS supports a supply voltage range of 0 V to 5.5 V, as specified in its limiting values table. Its clamping action remains effective across this full range due to the integrated Zener diode referenced to pin 7 (VCC). This allows the PRTR5V0U6AS to protect interfaces powered at either 3.3 V or 5 V without modification or performance degradation.
Does the PRTR5V0U6AS require an external power supply to function?
No, the PRTR5V0U6AS does not require active biasing or external power to perform ESD protection. Pin 7 (VCC) serves as the reference node for the internal Zener diode and must be connected to the host system's supply rail (0–5.5 V) to enable supply-independent clamping. The PRTR5V0U6AS draws no operational current except during ESD events, with leakage limited to ≤100 nA at 3 V.
Can the PRTR5V0U6AS be used on differential signal pairs like USB D+/D−?
Yes, the PRTR5V0U6AS is explicitly designed for differential high-speed interfaces including USB 2.0. Each of its six channels provides rail-to-rail clamping, allowing independent protection of D+, D−, and other signal lines without coupling or skew impact. Its 1 pF typical capacitance per line ensures minimal differential impedance mismatch and preserves USB 2.0 eye diagrams.
What is the thermal resistance (RθJA) of the PRTR5V0U6AS in SO8 package?
The PRTR5V0U6AS datasheet does not specify RθJA (junction-to-ambient thermal resistance) because it is a passive ESD protection device with negligible steady-state power dissipation. During ESD events, energy is dissipated transiently; thermal design focuses on PCB copper area under pin 3 (GND) and pin 7 (VCC) rather than junction temperature modeling. No thermal derating is required for normal operation of the PRTR5V0U6AS.
Is the PRTR5V0U6AS compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations?
Yes, the PRTR5V0U6AS is Pb-free and fully RoHS compliant, as confirmed in its product profile section. It meets the Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (2011/65/EU) and associated amendments. NXP also confirms compliance with REACH SVHC requirements; full substance declarations are available through NXP's official material compliance portal for the PRTR5V0U6AS.
