Product details
Overview
1N6105US from Semtech is a transient diverting suppressor (TDS) designed for high-energy EOS protection of 22V-rated power or I/O 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. It protects USB PD, USB Type-C VBus, and load switch inputs in industrial and portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the 1N6105US datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, DFN-6 package layout guidance, temperature-stable clamping behavior, and real-world implementation details for EOS-critical bus protection.
Technical Context
The 1N6105US employs a surge-rated FET as its primary protection element, activated by a precision trigger circuit that turns on the shunt path when transient voltage exceeds the breakdown threshold. Unlike conventional TVS diodes, its clamping voltage remains nearly constant across 24–40A and −40°C to +125°C due to decreasing RDS(on) under surge conditions.
It operates with reverse stand-off voltage of 22V, breakdown voltage of 25–27.9V, and low 175pF junction capacitance at 22V/1MHz - enabling use on high-speed power rails without signal integrity degradation. Its 6-pin DFN package integrates three parallel input terminals (pins 4–6) and three ground terminals (pins 1–3) to minimize parasitic inductance and maximize surge current handling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage | 22V - defines maximum continuous DC or RMS operating voltage on protected line without leakage or conduction. |
| Clamping Voltage | 27.5–28V at 24–40A (1.2/50μs + 8/20μs combo wave, RS = 2Ω) - ensures downstream ICs (e.g., USB PD controllers) remain below damage thresholds during surges. |
| Peak Pulse Current | 40A (8/20μs) - meets IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 industrial surge immunity requirements for 22V systems. |
| ESD Withstand | ±30kV contact & air (IEC 61000-4-2) - exceeds Level 4 ESD immunity for handheld and interface connectors. |
| Dynamic Resistance | 20mΩ (measured 1–40A, 8/20μs) - enables flat clamping curve and minimal voltage rise under increasing surge current. |
| Junction Capacitance | 175pF at 22V, 1MHz - low enough to avoid loading 20V power rails in USB PD and industrial load-switch applications. |
Pinout & Package
1N6105US is housed in a Pb-free, RoHS-compliant DFN package measuring 1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.55mm with six terminals. The compact footprint saves board space versus discrete TVS+series resistor solutions and supports high-density USB Type-C and IoT layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pins 1, 2, 3 | GND | Low-inductance ground return path; all three must be connected to PCB ground plane via multiple vias for full 40A surge capability. |
| Pins 4, 5, 6 | IN | Parallel-connected input terminals for protected line (e.g., VBus); all three required to distribute surge current and minimize trace inductance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant-clamp architecture | Clamping voltage varies ≤0.5V across 24–40A and −40°C to +125°C - eliminates derating uncertainty in thermal designs. |
| Surge-rated FET protection element | Replaces PN-junction TVS with active shunt switch, reducing energy dissipation in silicon junction and improving reliability under repeated surges. |
| Low dynamic resistance | 20mΩ enables <28V clamping even at 40A - critical for protecting 22V-rated load switches and USB PD controllers with tight overvoltage margins. |
| High EFT immunity | ±4kV per IEC 61000-4-4 (5/50ns, 100kHz/5kHz) - sustains operation in electrically noisy industrial environments without false triggering. |
Applications
| USB Type-C VBus Protection | Industrial Load Switch Input Protection |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protecting 20V–22V USB Power Delivery bus against lightning-induced surges and connector ESD events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Transient diverting suppressor placed between Type-C receptacle and upstream load switch or PD controller. Use Value: Maintains 27.5–28V clamping across temperature and current - prevents overvoltage damage to sensitive PD controllers where traditional TVS would exceed 35V at 125°C. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding input of industrial-grade load switches (e.g., HS2950P) exposed to 40A surges in remote meters or robotics. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary EOS shunt device absorbing surge energy before it reaches the load switch's internal FET. Use Value: Keeps clamping voltage below the load switch's absolute maximum drain-source voltage rating - avoids catastrophic failure during 1.2/50μs + 8/20μs combo-wave transients. |
| IoT Device Power Rail Protection | Notebook/Tablet 22V System Bus |
|
Use Scenario: Securing 22V auxiliary power rails in battery-powered IoT gateways subjected to ESD during field servicing. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-device solution replacing TVS + series impedance for compact, low-parasitic protection. Use Value: Delivers ±30kV ESD robustness in 1.6×1.6mm footprint - enables ruggedized enclosure design without sacrificing PCB area. |
Use Scenario: Protecting main system bus in thin-and-light notebooks supporting USB PD charging up to 20V. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-energy clamping device located adjacent to Type-C port to minimize trace inductance. Use Value: 175pF capacitance avoids power rail resonance or noise coupling - preserves stability of multi-phase buck converters supplying CPU/GPU cores. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TDS2211P | Same die, identical electrical specs and package - direct manufacturer-recommended replacement for 1N6105US; shares marking code T22 and DFN-6 footprint. | Identical use cases: USB PD, load switch, industrial 22V bus protection. | Select TDS2211P when sourcing from Semtech's official distribution channel; identical performance and qualification status. |
| uClamp2411ZA | 24V working voltage, lower 20A IPP rating, higher 30V clamping, smaller 0.65×0.65mm DFN-2 package - optimized for CC/SBU lines, not power rails. | Intended for low-capacitance data-line protection (CC, SBU), not 22V power bus clamping. | Not suitable as functional substitute for 1N6105US - insufficient IPP and clamping margin for VBus-level protection. |
Compared with TDS2211P (identical spec) and uClamp2411ZA (lower IPP, higher clamping), the 1N6105US delivers validated 40A surge handling and stable 28V clamping essential for 22V power rail protection - making it the only viable option among the three for high-energy EOS scenarios.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the 1N6105US at 40A surge current?
The 1N6105US clamps at 27.6–28V under 40A peak pulse current (1.2/50μs voltage + 8/20μs current combination waveform, RS = 2Ω). This value is guaranteed across −40°C to +125°C and reflects its constant-clamp FET architecture - unlike TVS diodes whose clamping rises linearly with current.
Is the 1N6105US pin-compatible with standard TVS diodes in DFN packages?
No - the 1N6105US uses a unique 6-pin DFN configuration with three parallel input pins (4–6) and three ground pins (1–3), requiring dedicated PCB layout. Standard bi-directional TVS diodes typically use 2-pin SOD or 3-pin DFN packages and cannot replicate its low-inductance, high-current shunt path.
Can the 1N6105US protect USB Type-C superspeed data lines (TX/RX)?
No - the 1N6105US has 175pF junction capacitance, which is too high for SuperSpeed differential pairs (typically requiring <0.25pF). It is intended exclusively for VBus and power-line protection; RClamp3371ZC or similar ultra-low-capacitance TVS devices are specified for TX/RX lines.
Does the 1N6105US require external bias or control signals to operate?
No - the 1N6105US is a fully passive, self-triggering device. Its internal precision trigger circuit activates the shunt FET automatically when transient voltage exceeds the breakdown threshold; no enable pin, supply rail, or external timing components are needed.
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the 1N6105US?
The 1N6105US is rated for continuous operation from −40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. Its clamping voltage and dynamic resistance remain stable across this full range - a key differentiator from conventional TVS diodes, whose performance degrades significantly above 85°C.
