AEC-Q101 Qualified Bidirectional ESD Diodes Featuring 0.45pF Capacitance, Compact DFN1006-2 Packaging, and Reliable Protection for High-Speed Data Lines

Micro Commercial Components (MCC) introduces the ESDSBULCxxVLBQ Series, a family of AEC-Q101 qualified ultra-low capacitance bidirectional ESD protection diodes designed to safeguard high-speed communication interfaces and sensitive electronic circuits from electrostatic discharge (ESD) events. As automotive and industrial electronic systems continue to integrate faster communication protocols into increasingly compact designs, engineers require protection devices that provide robust transient protection without compromising signal integrity.

The ESDSBULCxxVLBQ Series addresses these challenges by combining an ultra-low junction capacitance of 0.45pF with low clamping voltage and fast transient response in a miniature DFN1006-2 package. Available in 3.3V, 18V, and 24V reverse working voltage options, the series supports both high-speed signal lines and DC power rail protection. These characteristics make the devices ideal for USB interfaces, HDMI ports, NFC antennas, automotive electronics, industrial communication systems, and other space-constrained high-speed applications.

Ultra Low Capacitance ESD Diode

Features & Benefits:
  • Ultra-Low Capacitance: 0.45pF–0.55pF minimizes signal distortion, preserving signal integrity for high-speed communication interfaces such as USB, HDMI, DisplayPort, and RF antenna lines
  • Low Clamping Voltage: Maximum clamping voltage of 7V and 9V quickly limits transient overvoltage, helping protect sensitive ICs from ESD damage
  • IEC61000-4-2 Certified: Provides robust ESD immunity with air discharge protection up to ±15kV and contact discharge protection up to ±15kV for enhanced system reliability
  • IEC61000-4-5 Surge Protection: Meets lightning surge requirements with surge current capability up to 4A (8/20μs), improving protection against transient surge events
  • AEC-Q101 Qualified: Qualified for reliable operation under demanding automotive electrical, thermal, and environmental conditions.
  • RoHS Compliant: Supports environmentally responsible electronic product design.
