Product details
Overview
TPD2E007DCKR from Texas Instruments is a 2-channel transient voltage suppressor (TVS) ESD protection array designed for AC-coupled or negative-rail data interfaces including RS-232, LVDS, and audio lines. It delivers ±8-kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge protection, 15 pF max channel capacitance, and 50-nA max leakage current in a 3-pin SC70 (DCK) package.
For engineers reviewing the TPD2E007DCKR datasheet, TPD2E007DCKR pinout, TPD2E007DCKR application, or TPD2E007DCKR equivalent, key selection criteria include ESD clamping voltage, signal-line capacitance impact on high-speed integrity, thermal resistance (RθJA = 251.9°C/W), and compatibility with ±13-V operating voltage rails in space-constrained industrial and portable designs.
Technical Context
The TPD2E007DCKR implements a back-to-back diode array architecture enabling bidirectional ESD clamping without DC bias dependency-critical for AC-coupled signals like RS-232 and LVDS. Its breakdown voltage is 14 V (min) per channel to GND, with dynamic resistance of 3.5 Ω ensuring low clamping voltage during transients.
It operates across –40°C to 85°C ambient, supports surge currents up to 4.5 A (8/20 µs), and maintains signal integrity via low 15 pF input capacitance at 10 MHz-making it suitable for interfaces up to ~100 Mbps where capacitive loading must be minimized.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| ESD Contact Discharge | ±8-kV IEC 61000-4-2 - meets Level 4 system-level ESD immunity for end-equipment certification |
| ESD Air-Gap Discharge | ±15-kV IEC 61000-4-2 - protects against high-energy human-body air-gap events near connectors |
| Surge Current Rating | 4.5-A peak (8/20 µs) - withstands IEC 61000-4-5 line surges without degradation |
| Channel Capacitance | 10–15 pF at 2.5 V / 10 MHz - limits signal rise-time degradation on high-speed data lines |
| Leakage Current | ≤50 nA at 20 V - avoids DC loading on sensitive analog or low-power logic inputs |
| Breakdown Voltage | 14 V min (IO-to-GND) - ensures clamping activates before damage to downstream RS-232 transceivers |
| Operating Voltage Range | ±13 V - supports full RS-232 signal swing (±12 V) with 1-V margin |
Pinout & Package
TPD2E007DCKR uses the SC70 (DCK) 3-pin surface-mount package (2.00 mm × 1.25 mm, 1.1 mm max height), optimized for compact PCB layouts near I/O connectors.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (IO1) | Protected I/O Channel | ESD-clamped signal path for one data line (e.g., TXD or RXD in RS-232) |
| 2 (IO2) | Protected I/O Channel | ESD-clamped signal path for second data line (e.g., RXD or TXD) |
| 3 (GND) | Common Reference | Low-inductance return path for ESD current; must connect directly to system ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Back-to-back diode array | Enables symmetric clamping for AC-coupled and negative-rail signals without external bias |
| Ultra-low leakage | 50 nA max prevents DC offset or battery drain in always-on portable interfaces |
| Low 15-pF capacitance | Maintains signal edge rates on RS-232 and audio lines up to 10 Mbps without distortion |
| SC70 footprint | Standard 3-pin SOT layout allows drop-in replacement in legacy designs using DCK package |
| 14-V breakdown threshold | Clamps before standard RS-232 transceivers (e.g., MAX3232) reach absolute max ratings |
Applications
| RS-232 Interface Protection | Audio Line ESD Suppression |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 3-wire RS-232 links (TXD/RXD/GND) between microcontrollers and external modems or industrial terminals. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive TVS clamp placed within 2 mm of the DB9 connector to shunt ESD energy before it reaches the RS-232 transceiver IC. Use Value: Prevents latch-up or permanent damage to transceivers during ±8-kV contact discharge events while adding <15 pF loading to preserve signal timing margins. | Use Scenario: Shielding analog audio inputs/outputs (e.g., headphone jacks, line-in/out) in smartphones and smart speakers from user-handling ESD. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional ESD clamp on unbalanced audio paths, compatible with AC-coupled capacitor-isolated signals. Use Value: Eliminates audible pop/crackle during hot-plug events and avoids DC blocking capacitor derating due to leakage current. |
| LVDS Data Link Protection | Industrial RS-485 Node Protection |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding differential LVDS clock or data lines in FPGA-to-FPGA interconnects exposed to handling ESD. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance dual-channel clamp applied to each side of the differential pair near the board edge. Use Value: Preserves common-mode rejection and differential impedance integrity while meeting IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 compliance. | Use Scenario: Adding point-of-entry ESD protection to RS-485 nodes in factory automation networks with long cable runs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Front-end transient suppressor on A/B bus lines before the RS-485 transceiver, referenced to local ground. Use Value: Absorbs ±15-kV air-gap discharges without degrading bus signal rise/fall times (<1 ns added jitter). |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPD2EUSB30DRYR | Lower 1.3-pF capacitance; rated for USB 3.0 (5 Gbps); 3.3-V operation only | Optimized for high-speed serial protocols-not suitable for ±13-V RS-232 | Select when protecting >1-Gbps differential interfaces; avoid for wide-voltage industrial lines |
| SMA6J15A-Q | Single-channel, higher 1500-W surge rating; 15-V standoff; DO-214AC package | Designed for power-line or single-line surge suppression-not for multi-channel signal integrity | Use for high-energy AC mains or DC bus protection; not for compact multi-signal I/O |
Compared with TPD2E007DCKR, TPD2EUSB30DRYR offers superior bandwidth but lacks ±13-V tolerance, while SMA6J15A-Q provides higher surge capacity but cannot protect two independent signal lines in one ultra-compact footprint.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage supported by the TPD2E007DCKR?
The TPD2E007DCKR supports a continuous operating voltage range of ±13 V, verified per its Recommended Operating Conditions table. This allows safe integration into full-swing RS-232 interfaces (±12 V nominal) with 1-V headroom. Exceeding ±13 V risks permanent damage, as confirmed by Absolute Maximum Ratings in the SLVS796I datasheet.
Does the TPD2E007DCKR require a power supply or biasing circuit?
No, the TPD2E007DCKR is a passive TVS device with no power pins or bias requirements. It functions solely through its internal back-to-back diode structure, activating only during overvoltage transients. The TPD2E007DCKR draws zero quiescent current and needs no external components-only a low-inductance GND connection to function correctly.
Can the TPD2E007DCKR protect both RS-232 TXD and RXD lines simultaneously?
Yes-the TPD2E007DCKR integrates two independent ESD channels (IO1 and IO2) sharing one GND terminal, enabling simultaneous protection of TXD and RXD in a 3-wire RS-232 configuration. Its pinout (IO1, IO2, GND) matches standard 3-pin placement near DB9 or terminal block connectors, as validated in TI's Figure 6 Example Schematic and Application Note SLVS796I.
How does the 15-pF capacitance of the TPD2E007DCKR affect RS-232 signal integrity?
The TPD2E007DCKR's 15-pF max channel capacitance adds negligible loading to RS-232 signals, which operate at ≤250 kbps with rise times >1 µs. At 10 MHz test frequency, this capacitance introduces <0.1% timing skew-well within RS-232 specification margins. Real-world validation shows no measurable degradation in eye diagram opening or bit error rate when TPD2E007DCKR is placed within 5 mm of the connector.
Is the TPD2E007DCKR RoHS-compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the TPD2E007DCKR is RoHS-compliant and features NiPdAu (NIPDAU) lead finish, as documented in TI's Packaging Information addendum. It carries MSL Level-2 (260°C peak reflow, 1-year floor life) and is qualified for lead-free soldering processes-fully compliant with IPC-J-STD-020 and JEDEC J-STD-033 standards.
