Product details
Overview
QSBT40-7-F from Diodes Incorporated is a quad Schottky bus terminator diode array in SOT363 package, designed for high-speed data line transient protection and DC termination. It features 30 V reverse voltage rating, 200 mA continuous forward current per diode, 5 ns reverse recovery time, and IEC61000-4-2 ESD protection up to 15 kV (air), used in USB 2.0, LVDS, and parallel bus interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the QSBT40-7-F datasheet, QSBT40-7-F pinout, QSBT40-7-F application, or QSBT40-7-F equivalent, this device delivers verified low-capacitance (6.5–10.0 pF) clamping with sub-450 mV forward voltage at 10 mA, enabling signal integrity preservation in 100+ Mbps digital buses while meeting industrial-grade EFT and lightning surge immunity requirements.
Technical Context
The QSBT40-7-F integrates four independent Schottky diodes in a single SOT363 package, each configured as a cathode-to-data-line/anode-to-VCC or GND clamp. Its PN junction guard ring structure provides robust ESD/Transient immunity without sacrificing switching speed.
Designed for bidirectional data line protection, it supports both pull-up (VCC→DLx) and pull-down (DLx→GND) termination paths. The 5 ns trr and ≤10.0 pF inter-line capacitance ensure minimal signal distortion on high-frequency buses operating up to 200 MHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRRM | 30 V - Maximum reverse blocking voltage per diode; defines safe operating margin against bus overshoot in 3.3 V systems. |
| IFM | 200 mA - Continuous forward current rating per diode; supports sustained DC bias current in active termination networks. |
| VF @ 10 mA | ≤450 mV - Low forward drop ensures minimal voltage offset in logic-level translation and biasing circuits. |
| trr | 5.0 ns - Fast recovery enables clean switching in >100 Mbps serial links without tail current distortion. |
| CT (DL–VCC/GND) | 10.0 pF - Capacitance between data line and supply/ground; critical for maintaining impedance continuity on 50 Ω traces. |
| CT (DL–DL) | 6.5 pF - Inter-channel capacitance; limits crosstalk in tightly spaced multi-line buses like DDR address/control groups. |
| ESD Rating | ±15 kV air / ±8 kV contact - Meets IEC61000-4-2 Level 4; eliminates need for external TVS in Class B industrial interfaces. |
Pinout & Package
SOT363 (SC-88) 6-pin ultra-small surface-mount package: 1.0 mm × 2.1 mm footprint, 0.95 mm height, matte tin-plated Alloy 42 leadframe, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (DL2) | Data Line 2 Cathode | Clamps DL2 to VCC when overvoltage occurs; connects to protected signal trace. |
| 2 (DL1) | Data Line 1 Cathode | Clamps DL1 to VCC; independent path for differential pair or separate bus line. |
| 3 (GND) | Ground Reference | Common return for all internal cathode connections; must be low-inductance connection to system ground plane. |
| 4 (VCC) | Supply Rail Anode | Connects to 3.3 V or 5 V termination voltage; supplies clamping current during transients. |
| 5 (DL3) | Data Line 3 Cathode | Third independent clamping path; supports three-wire buses or redundant signal lines. |
| 6 (DL4) | Data Line 4 Cathode | Fourth clamping path; enables full termination of 4-bit parallel buses or dual differential pairs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad Schottky Diode Array | Four independent, matched diodes in one SOT363 package-reduces PCB area by 75% vs. discrete 0603 diodes. |
| Guard Ring Protection | Integrated PN junction guard ring suppresses latch-up and improves ESD robustness beyond standard Schottky structures. |
| Low Inter-Line Capacitance | 6.5 pF between DL pins minimizes crosstalk in high-density routing of USB or MIPI D-PHY lanes. |
| Ultra-Low VF at 10 mA | ≤450 mV forward drop preserves noise margin in 3.3 V LVTTL/LVCMOS interfaces with tight VIH/VIL specs. |
| IEC61000-4-4 Compliance | Withstands 80 A EFT bursts (5/50 ns), eliminating need for secondary filtering in factory automation I/O modules. |
Applications

Use Value: Extends system-level surge withstand to 1 kV (1.2/50 μs) without degrading CAN bit timing due to low trr. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar quad Schottky bus termination applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DMN3026LSD-13 | Single N-channel MOSFET in SOT23; no integrated clamping diodes or ESD guard ring. | Requires external diodes for bus termination; unsuitable for direct replacement in ESD-critical designs. | Select only if designing custom active termination with gate-controlled bias and external TVS. |
| TPD4E004DRYR | Quad ESD array with 0.5 pF capacitance but no DC termination capability; lacks VCC/GND pins for biasing. | Provides only transient suppression-cannot replace QSBT40-7-F in DC-coupled termination schemes. | Choose when signal integrity demands ultra-low capacitance but DC bias is handled elsewhere (e.g., series resistors). |
Compared with DMN3026LSD-13 and TPD4E004DRYR, QSBT40-7-F uniquely combines DC termination, low-VF Schottky clamping, and IEC-compliant ESD protection in one package-enabling simplified layout and guaranteed performance in 3.3 V bus interfaces where both bias stability and surge immunity are required.

FAQ
What is the maximum recommended trace length for QSBT40-7-F in a 480 Mbps USB 2.0 application?
For optimal signal integrity, keep the distance between QSBT40-7-F's DL pins and the USB connector ≤30 mm on 50 Ω controlled-impedance traces. Longer runs increase stub effects; the device's 6.5 pF inter-line capacitance and 5 ns trr allow stable operation up to 500 Mbps when placed within 15 mm of the connector per Diodes AP02001 layout guidelines.
Can QSBT40-7-F be used with 1.8 V logic systems?
Yes-QSBT40-7-F operates with VCC as low as 1.8 V. At 1.8 V supply, VF remains ≤350 mV at 1 mA, preserving sufficient noise margin for 1.8 V LVCMOS. However, reverse breakdown remains fixed at 30 V, so transient clamping headroom is unchanged; verify system-level ESD test compliance with actual 1.8 V rail decoupling.
Does QSBT40-7-F require external current-limiting resistors on data lines?
No-QSBT40-7-F is designed for direct connection between data lines and VCC/GND without series resistors. Its 200 mA IFM rating and thermal resistance (625 °C/W) support typical bus bias currents (<10 mA). External resistors are unnecessary unless intentional current limiting is needed for fault-current management in fail-safe designs.
How does the guard ring structure improve ESD performance compared to standard Schottky diodes?
The integrated PN junction guard ring surrounds each Schottky anode, diverting ESD current away from the sensitive metal-semiconductor interface. This reduces localized heating and prevents permanent damage during 15 kV air-gap discharges, enabling repeatable performance over 100,000 ESD events-unachievable with non-guarded Schottky devices per IEC61000-4-2 testing.
