Product details
Overview
60KS200C 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 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 60KS200C datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, DFN-6 package layout guidance, temperature-stable clamping behavior, and direct alternatives for 22V bus protection where low-voltage overshoot margin and thermal robustness are critical.
Technical Context
The 60KS200C uses 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 breakdown. Unlike conventional TVS diodes, its clamping voltage remains nearly constant across 24–40A (8/20μs) due to decreasing RDS(on) under surge conditions.
It operates over –40°C to +125°C with stable 27.5–28V clamping at 40A, 22V reverse stand-off voltage, 27.9V max breakdown, and 175pF junction capacitance at 22V/1MHz - enabling reliable protection without signal distortion in high-speed power rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage | 22V - matches nominal USB PD VBus and industrial 24V rail derating margins. |
| Clamping Voltage | 27.5–28V at 40A (8/20μs) - stays below 30V damage threshold of common load switches and PD controllers. |
| Peak Pulse Current | 40A (8/20μs) - meets IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surge immunity for industrial equipment. |
| ESD Withstand | ±30kV contact & air (IEC 61000-4-2) - exceeds USB IF and IEC 61000-6-2 requirements for end-equipment certification. |
| Dynamic Resistance | 20mΩ - enables flat clamping curve and minimizes voltage rise under fast-rising transients. |
| Junction Capacitance | 175pF at 22V/1MHz - low enough to avoid degrading power rail stability in DC-DC input filtering paths. |
Pinout & Package
60KS200C is housed in a Pb-free, RoHS-compliant DFN-6 package measuring 1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.55mm with UL 94V-0 molding compound. All six terminals are arranged in dual-row configuration: three GND pins (1–3) and three IN pins (4–6), requiring parallel connection of like terminals for full 40A rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | GND | Common ground return path; all three must be connected with low-inductance vias to maximize surge current dissipation. |
| 4, 5, 6 | IN | Protected line input; tied together to distribute transient current evenly across internal FET channels. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant-clamp architecture | Clamping voltage varies ≤0.5V across 24–40A surge range - eliminates design margin inflation needed with TVS diodes. |
| Temperature-stable protection | Clamping remains 27.5–28V from –40°C to +125°C - ensures consistent safety margin in automotive and industrial ambient extremes. |
| Low dynamic resistance | 20mΩ enables <1V IR drop during 40A surge - preserves system-level overvoltage trip thresholds downstream. |
| High-energy EOS handling | 1120W peak pulse power rating supports repeated lightning-surge events without degradation. |
Applications
| USB Type-C Power Delivery Bus Protection | Industrial Load Switch Input Protection |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protecting 20V–22V VBus lines in USB-C receptacles against ESD, lightning-induced surges, and hot-plug transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary shunt protector placed between connector and PD controller or buck converter input. Use Value: Maintains 27.5–28V clamping across temperature and current - prevents false overvoltage shutdowns and ensures PD compliance at full operating range. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding enable and input pins of high-side load switches (e.g., HS2950P) in remote meters and robotics. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Front-end transient suppressor limiting voltage seen by internal FET gate oxide and drain-source junction. Use Value: Clamps below 30V at 40A - avoids permanent damage to load switch RDS(on) and OVP circuitry during 1.2/50μs surges. |
| IoT Edge Node Power Rail Protection | Notebook/Tablet DC-DC Input Protection |
|
Use Scenario: Securing 12–24V input rails of battery-powered IoT gateways exposed to field ESD and induced surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone EOS suppressor upstream of PMIC or buck controller, replacing stacked TVS arrays. Use Value: 1.6mm × 1.6mm footprint saves >60% board area vs. discrete TVS solutions while delivering higher IPP and lower clamping. |
Use Scenario: Protecting 19.5V adapter input rails in ultrabooks and tablets against AC-line coupled transients and user-handling ESD. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-stage clamp before input capacitor and EMI filter, minimizing stress on downstream ceramic capacitors. Use Value: 175pF capacitance avoids resonance with typical 10–47μF input caps - maintains stable DC-DC startup and load-transient response. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TDS2211P.C | Identical electrical specs, same DFN-6 package, identical marking code T22; manufactured by Semtech as direct variant. | No functional difference - used interchangeably in USB-C and industrial designs per Semtech ordering docs. | Select when sourcing from authorized Semtech distribution channels with full traceability. |
| SMAJ22A | Standard unidirectional TVS diode; 22V VRWM, 35.5V VC @ 12.3A (8/20μs); no constant-clamp behavior; clamping rises with temperature and current. | Higher clamping voltage limits use in 24V systems with tight OV thresholds; requires larger derating margin at 85°C+. | Choose only if cost sensitivity outweighs clamping performance and thermal stability requirements. |
Compared with TDS2211P.C, 60KS200C offers identical protection performance and form factor but may differ in reel packaging or date-code labeling; compared with SMAJ22A, 60KS200C delivers 8V lower clamping at full 40A surge and stable operation across –40°C to +125°C - critical for industrial reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the 60KS200C at 40A surge current?
The 60KS200C clamps at 27.5–28V under 40A (8/20μs) surge conditions per IEC 61000-4-5, with minimal variation across temperature. This value is guaranteed by design and confirmed in the Semtech datasheet Rev 2.5, Figure 3 and Table 2. The 60KS200C achieves this via its FET-based shunt architecture, not a fixed-junction TVS mechanism.
Is the 60KS200C pin-compatible with TDS2211P.C?
Yes - the 60KS200C shares identical DFN-6 pinout (GND on pins 1–3, IN on pins 4–6), mechanical dimensions (1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.55mm), and electrical specifications with TDS2211P.C. Both are manufactured by Semtech and documented as functionally interchangeable in the same application circuits, including USB-C VBus and load switch protection.
Does the 60KS200C require a thermal pad on the PCB?
No - the 60KS200C dissipates surge energy within its internal FET structure, not through junction-to-case conduction. Semtech explicitly states "no thermal pad is needed" in the datasheet (p.6). Instead, low-inductance grounding via multiple vias to an internal ground plane is required to handle 40A surge current safely.
What is the junction capacitance of the 60KS200C, and how does it affect power rail filtering?
The 60KS200C has 175pF junction capacitance at 22V and 1MHz. This low value avoids resonant interaction with typical 10–47μF input bulk capacitors on DC-DC converters, preserving stable startup behavior and load-transient response. It does not degrade ripple rejection or cause oscillation in standard power supply input stages.
Can the 60KS200C protect bidirectional data lines like USB DP/DM?
No - the 60KS200C is a unidirectional suppressor rated for 22V working voltage on power or single-ended I/O lines. For bidirectional high-speed data lines (e.g., USB SS, DP/DM), Semtech recommends low-capacitance TVS devices such as RClamp3371ZC (<0.25pF), as specified in the TDS2211P application note (p.5).
