Product details
Overview
VESD16C1-HD1HG3-08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a unidirectional ESD-protection diode in DFN1006-2A package, rated for 16 V reverse stand-off voltage, 30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact/air discharge immunity, and 3.6 A peak pulse current (8/20 μs), deployed on high-speed USB 2.0 data lines in automotive infotainment modules.
For engineers reviewing the VESD16C1-HD1HG3-08 datasheet, VESD16C1-HD1HG3-08 pinout, VESD16C1-HD1HG3-08 application, or VESD16C1-HD1HG3-08 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage at 3.6 A (25.3–28 V), dynamic resistance (0.53 Ω), capacitance (21–33 pF at 0 V), and AEC-Q101 qualification status.
Technical Context
This device implements a single-line, unidirectional TVS structure optimized for low-capacitance signal-line protection. Its silicon design targets fast transient response with sub-nanosecond turn-on and controlled clamping behavior under IEC 61000-4-2 and IEC 61000-4-5 stress conditions.
The DFN1006-2A footprint enables placement directly at connector interfaces without trace stubs. Cathode marking and Sn (e3) termination support automated optical inspection and lead-free reflow up to 260 °C peak temperature per J-STD-020 MSL level 1.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Stand-off Voltage | 16 V - Maximum continuous working voltage before conduction begins; sets upper limit for protected line DC bias. |
| Reverse Clamping Voltage | 25.3–28 V at 3.6 A (8/20 μs) - Peak voltage seen by downstream IC during ESD event; must stay below IC's absolute max rating. |
| Capacitance | 21–33 pF at 0 V, 1 MHz - Low enough to avoid signal integrity degradation on USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and HDMI 1.4a data lanes. |
| ESD Immunity | ±30 kV contact / ±30 kV air (IEC 61000-4-2) - Full compliance with automotive and industrial ESD robustness requirements. |
| Peak Pulse Power | 100 W (8/20 μs) - Sustains standardized surge energy without thermal failure or parameter shift. |
| Dynamic Resistance | 0.53 Ω (TLP, 100 ns) - Low impedance during clamping ensures rapid voltage suppression and minimal overshoot. |
Pinout & Package
DFN1006-2A package: 1.0 mm × 0.6 mm × 0.4 mm max height, cathode marked on top surface, Sn (e3) plating, MSL level 1, compatible with standard 8 mm tape/reel (10 k per reel).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Anode | Connected to protected signal line; conducts during positive transients relative to ground. |
| Pin 2 | Cathode | Connected to system ground; provides low-impedance path for ESD current; marked with bar on package top. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unidirectional Protection | Enables use on biased signal lines (e.g., USB D+, D−) without forward-conduction leakage at operating voltage. |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Validated for automotive applications including powertrain, body electronics, and infotainment systems per stress test requirements. |
| Low Capacitance (27 pF typ.) | Maintains signal rise/fall time integrity on 480 Mbps USB 2.0 links; avoids eye diagram closure or jitter accumulation. |
| Compact DFN1006-2A Footprint | Minimizes PCB real estate and parasitic inductance; supports placement within 3 mm of I/O connector for optimal protection efficacy. |
| Sn (e3) Termination | Enables compatibility with lead-free reflow profiles and automated optical inspection (AOI) for high-yield manufacturing. |
Applications
| USB 2.0 Interface Protection | HDMI 1.4a Hot-Plug Detection Line |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting D+ and D− lines of USB 2.0 ports in automotive head units against ESD events during cable insertion/removal. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional clamping diode placed between connector and USB transceiver IC, referenced to chassis ground. Use Value: Limits transient voltage to ≤28 V during ±30 kV contact discharge, preventing latch-up or gate oxide damage in the PHY IC. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding the HDMI 1.4a hot-plug detect (HPD) line in display modules exposed to user-accessible connectors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone ESD clamp on 5 V-biased HPD line, operating in reverse-bias mode during normal signaling. Use Value: Maintains <33 pF capacitance to avoid RC delay distortion on HPD assertion timing while suppressing >30 kV transients. |
| Automotive CAN FD Data Lines | Industrial RS-485 Transceiver I/O |
Use Scenario: Adding secondary ESD protection on CAN FD bus lines where primary protection resides upstream in connector housing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Localized clamping device mounted adjacent to CAN transceiver pins, grounded to local PCB ground plane. Use Value: Delivers 30 kV immunity without degrading CAN FD's 5 Mbps signal edge rates due to 27 pF capacitance and 0.53 Ω dynamic resistance. |
Use Scenario: Protecting RS-485 differential pairs in factory automation controllers subjected to frequent operator handling and cable swaps. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-line unidirectional clamp on each A/B line, referenced to isolated system ground. Use Value: Ensures 100 W surge handling and 30 kV ESD tolerance while preserving common-mode noise rejection via matched capacitance on both lines. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD-protection diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ16A-E3/57T | DO-214AC package (4.5 mm × 2.7 mm); 16 V standoff; 30.5 V clamping at 5.8 A; 1000 pF capacitance. | Not suitable for high-speed data lines due to excessive capacitance; intended for power rail or low-frequency signal protection. | Select only when board space allows larger package and signal bandwidth < 1 MHz. |
| TPD2E001DRYR | 2-channel bidirectional array in DFN1006-3; 5 V standoff; 12 V clamping at 1 A; 11 pF capacitance per channel. | Designed for dual-line interfaces (e.g., USB D+/D−); lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and 16 V standoff capability. | Prefer for cost-sensitive consumer USB ports; avoid where 16 V bias or automotive qualification is required. |
Compared with SMAJ16A-E3/57T and TPD2E001DRYR, VESD16C1-HD1HG3-08 uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 16 V standoff, sub-33 pF capacitance, and DFN1006-2A size-making it the only option validated for compact, high-reliability automotive data-line protection.

VESD16C1-HD1HG3-08 operates from −55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature, supporting under-hood automotive deployment and industrial environments with wide ambient swings. The device maintains specified clamping performance and leakage current (<0.1 μA at 16 V) across this full range, verified per AEC-Q101 thermal cycling and high-temperature operating life tests.
Does VESD16C1-HD1HG3-08 meet AEC-Q101 qualification?
Yes, VESD16C1-HD1HG3-08 is AEC-Q101 qualified. This certification confirms successful completion of stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, ESD (HBM/MM), and mechanical shock-specifically validating its suitability for automotive electronic control units, infotainment systems, and ADAS sensor interfaces.
What is the typical capacitance of VESD16C1-HD1HG3-08 at 0 V bias?
The typical capacitance of VESD16C1-HD1HG3-08 is 27 pF at 0 V reverse bias and 1 MHz, with a guaranteed range of 21–33 pF. This low, tightly controlled value ensures minimal loading on high-speed signals such as USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and HDMI 1.4a, preserving signal integrity without requiring equalization or retiming.
How does the clamping voltage of VESD16C1-HD1HG3-08 compare to its breakdown voltage?
VESD16C1-HD1HG3-08 has a typical reverse breakdown voltage (VBR) of 18 V at 1 mA and a reverse clamping voltage (VC) of 25.3–28 V at 3.6 A (8/20 μs). The ~7–10 V difference reflects the device's dynamic resistance (0.53 Ω), which governs voltage rise under surge current-ensuring predictable, non-destructive clamping behavior during real-world ESD events.
Is VESD16C1-HD1HG3-08 compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, VESD16C1-HD1HG3-08 features Sn (e3) lead plating and is rated for peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C per J-STD-020, meeting RoHS-compliant lead-free assembly requirements. Its DFN1006-2A package also supports automated optical inspection (AOI) due to consistent solder joint reflectivity and cathode marking visibility.
