Product details
Overview
TDS2211P from Semtech is a transient diverting suppressor designed for high-energy EOS protection of 22V-rated I/O or power lines, featuring ±30kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity, 40A peak pulse current (8/20μs), 27.5–28V clamping voltage at 24–40A, and 20mΩ dynamic resistance - deployed in USB Type-C PD input protection and industrial load switch inputs.
For engineers reviewing the TDS2211P datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping stability across temperature and current, low dynamic resistance for flat VC response, DFN-6 footprint compatibility, and compliance with IEC 61000-4-2/4-4/4-5 surge standards.
Technical Context
The TDS2211P uses a surge-rated FET as its primary protection element, activated by a precision trigger circuit that turns on the shunt FET when transient voltage exceeds the trigger threshold. Unlike conventional TVS diodes, its clamping voltage remains nearly constant due to decreasing RDS(on) under surge conditions.
It operates across –40°C to +125°C, maintains ≤28V clamping from 24A to 40A (1.2/50μs + 8/20μs combo waveform, RS = 2Ω), and delivers 1120W peak pulse power while exhibiting only 175pF junction capacitance at 22V and 1MHz - enabling robust protection without signal integrity compromise.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage | 22V - defines maximum continuous DC bus voltage it can protect without leakage or conduction. |
| Clamping Voltage | 27.5–28V at 24–40A - ensures protected ICs (e.g., USB PD controllers) remain below damage thresholds during surge events. |
| Peak Pulse Current | 40A (8/20μs) - meets IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 industrial surge immunity requirements. |
| ESD Withstand | ±30kV contact & air (IEC 61000-4-2) - exceeds standard ESD immunity for handheld and interface connectors. |
| Dynamic Resistance | 20mΩ - enables flat clamping behavior and minimizes voltage rise under increasing surge current. |
| Junction Capacitance | 175pF at 22V, 1MHz - low enough for 22V power rail protection without degrading signal edge rates. |
| Package | DFN 1.6 × 1.6 × 0.55 mm, 6-lead - supports high-density PCB layouts with minimal board area consumption. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DFN-6 (1.6 mm × 1.6 mm × 0.55 mm), Pb-free, RoHS-compliant, UL 94V-0 molding compound, tape-and-reel packaging (3,000 pcs/reel).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | GND | Common ground return path for surge current; all three must be connected to maximize current handling and minimize parasitic inductance. |
| 4, 5, 6 | IN | Protected line input (e.g., VBUS in USB-C); parallel connection of all three pins ensures uniform current sharing and optimal surge dissipation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant clamping voltage vs. current | VC varies only 0.5V across full 24–40A rated range - eliminates design margin inflation needed with conventional TVS diodes. |
| Temperature-stable clamping | Clamping remains ≤28V from –40°C to +125°C - enables reliable protection in automotive and industrial ambient conditions. |
| FET-based surge switching | Shunt FET activation replaces avalanche breakdown - reduces thermal stress and improves long-term reliability under repeated surges. |
| Low dynamic resistance | 20mΩ measured between 1A–40A (8/20μs) - directly enables sub-28V clamping even at max surge current. |
| High EFT immunity | ±4kV per IEC 61000-4-4 (5/50ns, 100kHz/5kHz) - protects against fast repetitive transients in motor drives and PLC environments. |
Applications
| USB Type-C Power Delivery Protection | Industrial Load Switch Input Protection |
|---|---|
|

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-energy clamping device on non-data power rails adjacent to high-speed interfaces. Use Value: 175pF capacitance avoids resonance with power delivery networks - preserves rail stability during transient suppression. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SP1003-02HTG | 22V working voltage, 30A IPP (8/20μs), 33V clamping at 24A, SOD-323 package | Higher clamping voltage (33V vs. 28V) limits use with 30V-tolerant ICs; smaller footprint but lower surge rating | Preferred where board space is critical and 33V clamping is acceptable; not suitable for tight-margin 22V PD designs. |
| SM712-02HTG | 12V/24V dual-rail, 40A IPP, 30V clamping at 24A, SOT-23-6 package | Designed for RS-485/RS-232 bidirectional protection; asymmetric breakdown unsuitable for unidirectional 22V bus | Applicable only in differential or dual-rail contexts; requires redesign for single-rail 22V use. |
Compared with SP1003-02HTG and SM712-02HTG, the TDS2211P uniquely delivers 28V clamping at full 40A while maintaining stability across –40°C to +125°C - making it the only option qualified for high-reliability 22V USB PD and industrial load switch protection without derating.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage behavior of the TDS2211P across its full operating temperature range?
The TDS2211P maintains a clamping voltage of 27.5–28V from –40°C to +125°C at both 24A and 40A peak pulse current (1.2/50μs + 8/20μs combo waveform). This stability results from its FET-based architecture, where RDS(on) decreases under surge, counteracting thermal drift - unlike conventional TVS diodes whose clamping rises with temperature. This makes the TDS2211P especially suitable for automotive under-hood and industrial control cabinet deployments.
Can the TDS2211P be used to protect bidirectional data lines such as USB DP/DM or RS-485?
No, the TDS2211P is a unidirectional transient suppressor optimized for 22V power or I/O lines with defined polarity (IN to GND). Its functional diagram and electrical specifications - including forward voltage (0.5V) and reverse breakdown (25–27.9V) - confirm asymmetrical operation. For bidirectional data lines, Semtech recommends low-capacitance devices like RClamp3371ZC (for USB SS lanes) or uClamp2411ZA (for CC/SBU), not the TDS2211P.
How does the TDS2211P achieve lower clamping voltage than standard TVS diodes at high surge currents?
The TDS2211P uses a precision-triggered shunt FET instead of an avalanche PN junction. When triggered, the FET enters a low-RDS(on) state (<20mΩ), causing clamping voltage to converge near the trigger circuit's reference voltage (~27V) rather than rising linearly as in TVS diodes (VC = VBR + IPP × RDYN). This architecture yields ≤28V clamping even at 40A - ~10V lower than typical 22V TVS devices at the same current.
Is the TDS2211P compatible with lead-free reflow soldering processes?
Yes, the TDS2211P is fully compatible with standard lead-free reflow profiles (J-STD-020 compliant), featuring a Pb-free, halogen-free, RoHS/WEEE-compliant construction and UL 94V-0 molding compound. Its maximum peak temperature rating of +260°C aligns with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D.4 requirements, and the DFN-6 package has been validated for void-free solder joint formation using recommended land patterns.
What layout practices are required to achieve the rated 40A surge performance of the TDS2211P?
To achieve full 40A (8/20μs) capability, all three IN pins (4, 5, 6) and all three GND pins (1, 2, 3) must be connected with low-inductance traces - ideally using multiple vias to an inner ground plane. The device must be placed within 5 mm of the protected connector, and the IN-to-GND trace length minimized. Splitting connections or omitting any pin reduces effective surge current handling and may cause localized overheating or premature failure of the TDS2211P.
