Key features of TPD2E001DRLR
Dual-channel ESD protection, suitable for high-speed data lines
Suitable for protecting two signal lines such as USB D+/D-, HDMI channel, key input, capacitive touch interface, etc., saving board space.
Ultra-low input capacitance (0.5pF)
The extremely low parasitic capacitance ensures that signal integrity is not disturbed, making it ideal for protecting high-speed communication interfaces ranging from hundreds of MHz to GHz.
Strong ESD suppression capability
It provides ±15kV (air) / ±8kV (contact) protection in accordance with IEC61000-4-2 standard and is suitable for interface areas with frequent human-machine contact, such as USB sockets, buttons, antenna terminals, etc.
Fast response and low clamping voltage
The transient response speed is fast, and it can quickly clamp the electrostatic spike voltage to a safe level, thus protecting the subsequent circuits to the maximum extent.
Small package, suitable for high-density layout
Using SOT-5 (DRLR) package, it occupies a small PCB area and is suitable for ultra-thin devices, portable products and compact designs.
Wide operating voltage range and very low leakage current
It operates stably in a 0–5.5V power supply system, with a typical leakage current of 1nA. It can be directly connected in parallel to the I/O interface with almost no impact on normal operation.

FAQ
Q1: Can TPD2E001DRLR be used for USB3.0 interface?
A: It is not recommended . The typical input capacitance of TPD2E001DRLR is about 1.5pF. Although it is suitable for ESD protection of high-speed interfaces such as USB 2.0, its capacitance value may affect the signal integrity for signal lines of USB 3.0 and above. The operating frequency of USB 3.0 interface is as high as 5Gbps, and the parasitic capacitance requirements of ESD protection devices are more stringent (generally recommended to be <0.3pF). Therefore, TI officially recommends using devices with lower capacitance designed for USB 3.x, such as TPD4E02B04 or TPD1E10B06 series, to ensure that the quality of high-speed signal transmission is not disturbed.
Q2: Is the pin connection of TPD2E001DRLR directional?
A: It is directional . TPD2E001DRLR is designed based on a unidirectional TVS (transient voltage suppression) structure. Each channel consists of two pins: one connects the protected signal line and the other connects to ground (GND). To achieve effective surge voltage clamping protection, it must be correctly connected according to the pin configuration provided in the TI data sheet to ensure that the signal enters from the “IO” end and is clamped at the “GND” end. If the direction is connected incorrectly, the normal ESD suppression effect will not be achieved, and it may even affect the reliability of the device itself.
