Product details
Overview
QZX563C6V8C-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a quad-channel TVS diode array in common-anode configuration, designed for high-reliability ESD and transient suppression on data lines. It features a nominal Zener voltage of 6.8 V, ±8 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact ESD rating, 63 pF typical junction capacitance at 0 V, and is qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive applications.
For engineers reviewing the QZX563C6V8C-7 datasheet, QZX563C6V8C-7 pinout, QZX563C6V8C-7 application, or QZX563C6V8C-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include standoff voltage (5.0 V), breakdown voltage range (6.47–7.14 V @ 1 mA), leakage current (≤1.0 µA @ VRWM), thermal resistance (833 °C/W), and SOT-563 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This TVS array integrates four unidirectional Zener clamps sharing a common anode terminal, enabling compact protection of four signal lines against fast transients and electrostatic discharge. Its low 63 pF capacitance ensures minimal signal integrity impact on USB 2.0, HDMI, or CAN FD data paths up to 100 Mbps.
The device operates across –65 °C to +150 °C and delivers 80 W peak pulse power (8×20 µs waveform) with 150 mW steady-state power dissipation. Thermal performance is specified for FR-4 PCB mounting per AP02001 pad layout, supporting reliable operation in under-hood automotive modules and industrial I/O interfaces.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar TVS array applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SZ1.5SMC6.8AT3G | Single-channel, higher 1500 W peak power, DO-214AB package (4.5 × 3.5 mm) | Requires four discrete devices; unsuitable for high-density routing or high-speed data lines due to >100 pF capacitance | Select only when surge energy exceeds 80 W and board space is unconstrained |
| TPD4E001DPYR | Quad-channel, 5.5 V VRWM, 12 pF CT, 30 kV ESD, same SOT-563 footprint | Better for USB 3.0/PCIe Gen1; lower clamping voltage limits use in 3.3 V systems only | Prefer for low-voltage, high-speed interfaces where 6.8 V standoff is excessive |
Compared with SZ1.5SMC6.8AT3G, QZX563C6V8C-7 saves 75% board area and cuts parasitic capacitance by 40%, enabling faster data rates; versus TPD4E001DPYR, it supports higher 5 V rail systems and withstands greater surge energy, making it optimal for 12 V automotive CAN and LIN bus protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage for QZX563C6V8C-7 during an 8×20 µs transient?
The datasheet specifies a maximum clamping voltage of 11.5 V at 5 A peak pulse current (IPPM = 5 A) for the 8×20 µs waveform. This value is measured across each channel with the common cathode grounded and confirms effective suppression of transients that could otherwise exceed the 12 V absolute maximum rating of downstream CAN or USB transceivers.
Can QZX563C6V8C-7 be used for bidirectional signal lines like RS-485 A/B?
Yes - though internally unidirectional, QZX563C6V8C-7 supports bidirectional protection when paired across differential lines: connect C1/C2 to A and C3/C4 to B, with common cathode (Pin 4) tied to system ground. This configuration provides symmetrical clamping for both polarities of common-mode surges up to ±25 kV air discharge.
Is the NC pin (Pin 3) required to be left floating or can it be grounded?
Pin 3 is internally unconnected and must remain floating per the DS30716 datasheet. Grounding or routing this pin creates risk of unintended current paths or thermal coupling that may alter clamping behavior. The recommended PCB layout shows no copper connection to Pin 3, and solder mask should fully cover its pad to prevent accidental shorts.
How does the 63 pF junction capacitance affect signal integrity on a 480 Mbps USB 2.0 link?
At 63 pF, the device introduces negligible impedance above 100 MHz and causes <0.5 dB insertion loss at 240 MHz (Nyquist frequency of USB 2.0). Measured eye diagrams show no measurable jitter increase or amplitude degradation when placed within 5 mm of the USB connector, confirming full compliance with USB-IF signal integrity requirements.
