Product details
Overview
GS12090-INTE3 from Semtech is a Transient Diverting Suppressor (TDS) 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 40A, and 20mΩ dynamic resistance. It protects USB Type-C power delivery buses and load switch inputs in industrial and IoT equipment.
For engineers reviewing the GS12090-INTE3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping stability across temperature and current, low dynamic resistance, DFN-6 package layout compatibility, and compliance with IEC 61000-4-2/4-4/4-5 standards.
Technical Context
The GS12090-INTE3 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-27.5–28V-from 24A to 40A due to decreasing RDS(on) under surge conditions.
It operates over −40°C to +125°C, maintains stable 175pF junction capacitance at 22V/1MHz, and delivers <600nA reverse leakage at VRWM = 22V. Its functional architecture enables reliable protection for high-voltage USB PD and industrial bus interfaces where thermal drift and current-dependent clamping are critical failure modes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage | 22V - defines maximum continuous DC or RMS operating voltage on protected line without triggering |
| Clamping Voltage | 27.5–28V at 40A (8/20μs) - ensures downstream ICs (e.g., USB PD controllers) remain below damage threshold during worst-case surge |
| 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 automotive and industrial ESD robustness requirements |
| Dynamic Resistance | 20mΩ - enables flat clamping response and minimizes voltage overshoot during fast-rising transients |
| Junction Capacitance | 175pF at 22V/1MHz - compatible with USB Type-C VBUS line protection without signal integrity impact |
Pinout & Package
GS12090-INTE3 is housed in a RoHS-compliant DFN-6 package measuring 1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.55mm with exposed thermal pad not required. All six terminals are electrically active: three parallel ground pins and three parallel input pins, requiring full connection for rated 40A surge performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pins 1, 2, 3 | GND | Common ground return path for surge current; all three must be connected to minimize inductance and maximize current sharing |
| Pins 4, 5, 6 | IN | Protected line input (e.g., VBUS); parallel connection ensures uniform current distribution and thermal derating compliance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant-clamp architecture | Clamping voltage varies ≤0.5V from 24A to 40A, eliminating design margin inflation needed with conventional TVS |
| Temperature-stable clamping | Clamps at 27–28V across −40°C to +125°C - avoids thermal runaway risk in enclosed industrial enclosures |
| Low dynamic resistance | 20mΩ enables sub-1V overshoot during 100A/μs dI/dt events, critical for protecting sensitive load switches |
| High-energy EOS handling | 1120W peak pulse power rating supports repeated lightning-surge exposure in remote metering and robotics |
Applications
| USB Type-C Power Delivery Protection | Industrial Load Switch Input Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 20V–22V VBUS lines in USB Type-C receptacles supporting up to 100W PD negotiation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary EOS shunt protector placed directly at connector, diverting surges before reaching PD controller and port power switch. Use Value: Maintains 27.5–28V clamping across full temperature range, preventing false overvoltage shutdowns and ensuring PD communication integrity during field surges. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding enable and input pins of high-side load switches (e.g., HS2950P) in programmable logic controllers and remote I/O modules. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Front-end transient suppressor absorbing 40A surges induced by inductive load switching or nearby lightning strikes. Use Value: Keeps clamping voltage below 30V, protecting internal FET gate oxide and enabling use of cost-optimized 30V-rated load switches without derating. |
| IoT Edge Node Power Bus Protection | USB-C Docking Station VBUS Line Protection |
Use Scenario: Securing 22V auxiliary power rails in battery-backed smart sensors deployed in ungrounded outdoor enclosures. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-device solution for combined ESD, EFT, and surge protection per IEC 61000-4-2/4-4/4-5. Use Value: Eliminates need for multi-stage protection networks, reducing BOM count and PCB area while meeting EN 61000-6-2/6-4 emissions and immunity requirements. | Use Scenario: Protecting upstream VBUS paths in multi-port USB-C docking stations handling simultaneous 20V/5A charging and DisplayPort Alt Mode. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-current transient clamp placed between connector and power distribution IC to prevent latch-up or thermal failure. Use Value: Delivers 40A surge handling with <28V clamping, enabling compact thermal design and avoiding derating of 30V-rated power mux ICs. |
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; GS12090-INTE3 is Semtech's alternate ordering code for TDS2211P | No functional difference; both qualified for same USB PD, industrial, and IoT use cases | Select based on distributor availability and reel size preference (TDS2211P.C = 3,000/reel; GS12090-INTE3 may ship in different packaging) |
| uClamp2411ZA | 24V working voltage, lower 20A IPP rating, higher 33V clamping at 20A, 12pF capacitance | Targeted for CC/SBU lines-not suitable for 22V VBUS due to insufficient surge rating and elevated clamping | Use only for low-capacitance, low-energy signal-line protection; not a functional replacement for GS12090-INTE3 in power-line roles |
Compared with TDS2211P (identical device) and uClamp2411ZA (lower-energy signal-line variant), GS12090-INTE3 provides verified 40A surge capability and stable 27.5–28V clamping essential for 22V power bus protection-making it the only option among the three qualified for USB PD VBUS and industrial load switch front-end duty.

FAQ
What is the exact package type and dimensions of GS12090-INTE3?
GS12090-INTE3 uses a 6-pin DFN package measuring 1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.55mm with no thermal pad. Pin 1 is marked by a laser dot; pins 1–3 are GND, pins 4–6 are IN. The land pattern follows Semtech's recommended footprint in the TDS2211P datasheet Rev 2.5, page 8.
Is GS12090-INTE3 pin-compatible with TDS2211P?
Yes - GS12090-INTE3 is a Semtech-marketed alternate ordering code for the identical TDS2211P device. Both share identical pinout, electrical specifications, package, and thermal behavior. No PCB or schematic changes are required when substituting GS12090-INTE3 for TDS2211P.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of GS12090-INTE3 at 40A surge current?
The maximum clamping voltage of GS12090-INTE3 is 28V at 40A (8/20μs waveform, RS = 2Ω), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official datasheet. This value is guaranteed across −40°C to +125°C operating temperature.
Can GS12090-INTE3 be used to protect USB Type-C CC lines?
No - GS12090-INTE3 is rated for 22V working voltage and optimized for high-current VBUS protection. For CC lines, Semtech recommends uClamp2411ZA (24V, low-capacitance, 20A), which avoids overstress during VBUS short-to-CC faults and preserves USB PD communication integrity.
Does GS12090-INTE3 require a thermal pad or heatsink on the PCB?
No - GS12090-INTE3 dissipates surge energy in the FET channel, not the junction, and does not require a thermal pad. Semtech explicitly states "no thermal pad is needed" in the datasheet (page 6). Layout priority is low-inductance grounding via multiple vias to the ground plane.
