Product details
Overview
PUSB3F96X from Nexperia is a quad-channel ESD protection diode array designed for ultra-high-speed serial interfaces including USB 3.0 (5 Gbit/s), HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort, eSATA, and LVDS. It delivers ±10 kV contact ESD protection per IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4, with 0.5 pF line capacitance per channel and matched 0.05 pF inter-pair capacitance difference-enabling minimal signal integrity impact in high-data-rate receiver/transmitter port protection.
For engineers reviewing the PUSB3F96X datasheet, PUSB3F96X pinout, PUSB3F96X application, or PUSB3F96X equivalent, key selection criteria include differential pair capacitance matching, snap-back clamping voltage under 5.2 A surge, dynamic resistance below 0.43 Ω (positive transient), and compatibility with 0.5 mm trace spacing layouts on HDMI/USB 3.0 PCBs.
Technical Context
The device employs a rail-to-rail snap-back clamping structure across four independent ESD channels, achieving negative dynamic resistance to reduce clamping voltage during ESD transients. Its low-capacitance diode configuration maintains signal fidelity up to 5 Gbit/s, as verified by eye diagram testing with and without the device on USB 3.0 and HDMI 2.0 reference boards.
All protected lines operate within ±0.5 V to +5.5 V input range, with breakdown voltage ≥6 V at 1 mA and reverse leakage ≤1 µA at 3 V. The snap-back behavior requires avoidance of unlimited DC current sources on signal lines to prevent latch-up after ESD events.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| ESD Rating | ±10 kV contact discharge per IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4-ensures robust system-level protection for exposed ports |
| Line Capacitance | 0.5 pF typical per channel at 1 MHz/3.3 V-preserves signal integrity on 5 Gbit/s USB 3.0 and 148.5 MHz HDMI 2.0 links |
| Capacitance Matching | ≤0.05 pF difference between differential pairs-minimizes skew and common-mode noise in high-speed signaling |
| Clamping Voltage | 4.6 V (positive) / −2.2 V (negative) at 5.2 A / −4.4 A surge-limits downstream IC stress during ESD events |
| Dynamic Resistance | 0.43 Ω (positive TLP) / 0.28 Ω (negative TLP)-enables fast energy dissipation with low voltage overshoot |
| Breakdown Voltage | ≥6 V at 1 mA-provides margin above 3.3 V/5 V interface rails while enabling early clamping |
| Operating Temp | −40 °C to +85 °C ambient-supports consumer and industrial display/PCB environments |
Pinout & Package
DFN2510A-10 (SOT1176-1) package: leadless, 2.5 × 1.0 × 0.5 mm body, 10-terminal layout with two GND pins (3 and 8) and four active signal channels (CH1–CH4), plus four no-connect terminals (6, 7, 9, 10).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | CH1 | ESD protection input/output for first differential pair (e.g., USB 3.0 TX+/RX+) |
| 2 | CH2 | ESD protection input/output for second differential pair (e.g., USB 3.0 TX−/RX−) |
| 3 | GND | Primary ground return path for CH1/CH2 clamping network |
| 4 | CH3 | ESD protection input/output for third differential pair (e.g., HDMI TMDS_D0+/D1+) |
| 5 | CH4 | ESD protection input/output for fourth differential pair (e.g., HDMI TMDS_D0−/D1−) |
| 8 | GND | Secondary ground return path for CH3/CH4 clamping network-reduces ground loop inductance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Rail-to-rail clamping | Protects both positive and negative ESD transients without external bias-eliminates need for VCC connection |
| Snap-back architecture | Reduces clamping voltage by >30% vs. standard diodes under 5.2 A surge-lowers stress on downstream PHY ICs |
| Matched 0.5 mm trace spacing | Aligns with standard HDMI/USB 3.0 differential routing pitch-enables direct placement without fanout |
| Pass-through signal routing | Linear pin arrangement (1–2–3–4–5 and 8) supports straight PCB trace flow-minimizes stub length and impedance discontinuity |
| Ultra-low inter-pair capacitance delta | 0.05 pF max difference ensures <1 ps skew between differential lanes-critical for HDMI 2.0 2160p60 timing compliance |
Applications
| USB 3.0 Host Port Protection | HDMI 2.0 Source Interface |
|---|---|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Line-to-ground ESD shunt on differential TX/RX pairs upstream of the SATA PHY transceiver. Use Value: Clamps transients to <4.6 V while maintaining <0.05 pF capacitance mismatch-prevents data corruption during 3 Gbit/s burst transfers. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPD4E05U06DQAR | 0.6 pF typical capacitance; ±12 kV contact rating; 6-pin SON package | Higher ESD rating but 0.1 pF higher capacitance-may degrade 5 Gbit/s eye margin vs. PUSB3F96X | Select when ±12 kV immunity is mandatory and 5 Gbit/s margin allows 0.1 pF increase |
| SP3203-04UTG | 0.35 pF typical capacitance; ±8 kV contact rating; 10-pin UDFN package | Lower capacitance but reduced ESD level-suitable only where system-level testing confirms ±8 kV sufficiency | Choose for ultra-low-capacitance priority in sub-3 Gbit/s applications like eSATA I or LVDS camera links |
Compared with TPD4E05U06DQAR and SP3203-04UTG, PUSB3F96X uniquely balances ±10 kV ESD immunity with 0.5 pF capacitance and matched differential pairs-making it optimal for HDMI 2.0 and USB 3.0 designs requiring both robustness and signal fidelity.

FAQ
What is the maximum data rate supported by PUSB3F96X without signal degradation?
PUSB3F96X supports up to 5 Gbit/s, validated via USB 3.0 eye diagram testing (Fig 5–6) showing no measurable eye closure versus unprotected traces. Its 0.5 pF capacitance and matched differential pairs ensure insertion loss remains below −3 dB at 2.5 GHz, satisfying USB 3.0 Gen 1 bandwidth requirements.
Can PUSB3F96X be used on single-ended interfaces like UART or I²C?
No-PUSB3F96X is optimized for differential high-speed interfaces (USB 3.0, HDMI, DisplayPort) with matched capacitance and rail-to-rail clamping. Single-ended signals lack the symmetry required for its differential pair protection architecture and would experience unbalanced clamping and potential signal distortion.
Why does PUSB3F96X have four no-connect pins (6, 7, 9, 10)?
These terminals are structural placeholders in the DFN2510A-10 (SOT1176-1) package to maintain mechanical symmetry and thermal uniformity. They are electrically isolated and must remain unconnected per datasheet guidance-no routing or soldering is permitted to avoid parasitic coupling or thermal imbalance.
How does the snap-back clamping mechanism improve ESD protection over standard diodes?
The snap-back structure reduces dynamic resistance to 0.43 Ω (positive) during ESD events, lowering clamping voltage to 4.6 V at 5.2 A-35% lower than conventional diodes. This minimizes voltage overshoot across downstream ICs, preventing latch-up or gate oxide damage while maintaining fast response (<1 ns) without external triggering circuitry.
