Product details
Overview
DM8W22AQ-13 from Diodes Incorporated is a surface-mount transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for automotive load-dump and surge protection in high-reliability 12V/24V systems. It delivers 6600W peak pulse power (10/1000µs), has a 22V reverse standoff voltage (VRWM), clamps at ≤35.5V under 186A peak pulse current, and operates from –55°C to +175°C - enabling robust protection of engine control units, body control modules, and ADAS power rails.
For engineers reviewing the DM8W22AQ-13 datasheet, DM8W22AQ-13 pinout, DM8W22AQ-13 application, or DM8W22AQ-13 equivalent, key selection criteria include ISO 16750-2 Pulse A/B and ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/3a/3b compliance, DO-218 (Type E) package thermal performance (RθJC = 0.9°C/W), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade deployment.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode uses glass-passivated silicon construction with anode-connected heatsink configuration, optimized for high-energy transients in automotive power networks. Its 22V VRWM aligns with nominal 24V battery systems, while its 35.5V clamping voltage at 186A ensures downstream ICs remain within safe operating limits during load-dump events.
The device exhibits excellent high-temperature stability up to TJ = +175°C and maintains low leakage (<150µA at VRWM, TJ = +175°C). Its DO-218 (Type E) package enables direct mounting to PCB copper pour for efficient heat dissipation, supporting sustained 8W average power dissipation at TC = +25°C.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ22A | Lower PPK (400W), DO-214AC package, RθJC ≈ 50°C/W | Not suitable for ISO 16750-2 load-dump; limited to ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a only | Select only for cost-sensitive non-load-dump applications where thermal budget allows higher junction rise |
| SMCJ22A | PPK = 1500W, DO-214AB package, RθJC ≈ 12°C/W, same VRWM | Meets ISO 7637-2 but fails ISO 16750-2 Pulse A due to insufficient energy handling | Acceptable for BCM/LIN protection where load-dump exposure is eliminated via system-level filtering |
Compared with SMAJ22A and SMCJ22A, DM8W22AQ-13 uniquely satisfies both ISO 16750-2 Pulse A/B and ISO 7637-2 requirements in a single device, with superior thermal performance enabling direct integration into high-power automotive modules without external heatsinks.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of DM8W22AQ-13 at rated peak pulse current?
The maximum clamping voltage (VC) is 35.5V at 186A peak pulse current (10/1000µs waveform), measured per JEDEC standards. This value ensures protected circuits remain within safe operating voltage limits during ISO 16750-2 load-dump events, with margin below typical 40V automotive IC absolute maximum ratings.
Is DM8W22AQ-13 suitable for bidirectional surge protection?
No - DM8W22AQ-13 is a unidirectional TVS diode with anode-connected heatsink and cathode pin. It protects only against positive-going transients on the cathode side relative to anode. For bidirectional protection (e.g., data lines), separate symmetric TVS arrays or dedicated bidirectional devices like DMP1004SNS must be used.
How does the DO-218 (Type E) package improve thermal performance over standard SMB/SMA packages?
The DO-218 (Type E) package features an integrated metal heatsink tab electrically connected to the anode, providing a low-resistance thermal path (RθJC = 0.9°C/W) to PCB copper. This is 5–10× better than SMB (RθJC ≈ 50°C/W) or SMA (RθJC ≈ 12°C/W), enabling reliable 6600W surge handling without external heatsinks.
Does DM8W22AQ-13 require derating at elevated ambient temperatures?
Yes - power derating follows the curve in Figure 1 of DS41002: at TC = +100°C, maximum steady-state power drops to ~4.5W; at TC = +150°C, it falls to ~2.0W. Designers must size PCB copper area accordingly to maintain case temperature within limits during continuous operation.
