Product details
Overview
GS12341-INTE3Z from Semtech is a Transient Diverting Suppressor (TDS) designed for high-energy EOS protection of 22V-rated power or I/O lines. It delivers ±30kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity, 40A peak pulse current (8/20μs), and a stable 27.5–28V clamping voltage across temperature and current range. It is deployed in USB Type-C PD bus protection to prevent damage to controllers during lightning surges or connector hot-plug events.
For engineers reviewing the GS12341-INTE3Z datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping voltage stability over temperature, dynamic resistance ≤20 mΩ, junction capacitance of 175 pF at 22V, and DFN 1.6×1.6mm 6-lead package compatibility with high-density USB PD layouts.
Technical Context
The GS12341-INTE3Z uses a surge-rated FET as its primary protection element, activated by a precision trigger circuit when transient voltage exceeds breakdown. Unlike conventional TVS diodes, its clamping voltage remains nearly constant-27.5–28V-across 24A to 40A peak pulse current due to decreasing RDS(on) under surge conditions.
It operates from −40°C to +125°C with reverse stand-off voltage of 22V, breakdown voltage of 25–27.9V, and reverse leakage <600 nA at VRWM. Its 20 mΩ dynamic resistance and 175 pF junction capacitance at 1MHz/22V support robust surge handling without signal integrity compromise on 22V power rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage | 22 V - defines maximum continuous DC operating voltage of protected line without leakage or conduction. |
| Clamping Voltage | 27.5–28 V at 40A (8/20μs) - ensures downstream 22V-rated ICs (e.g., USB PD controllers) remain below absolute max ratings during surge. |
| Peak Pulse Current | 40 A (8/20μs) - meets IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 industrial surge immunity requirements for 22V systems. |
| ESD Withstand | ±30 kV contact & air (IEC 61000-4-2) - protects against human-body-model ESD events at connector interfaces. |
| Junction Capacitance | 175 pF at 22V, 1 MHz - low enough to avoid signal distortion on 22V power rails; not suitable for high-speed data lines. |
| Dynamic Resistance | 20 mΩ - enables flat clamping response and minimizes voltage overshoot during fast-rising transients. |
| Package | DFN 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm × 0.55 mm, 6-lead - enables compact placement adjacent to USB Type-C connectors with minimal PCB area. |
Pinout & Package
GS12341-INTE3Z is housed in a RoHS-compliant, halogen-free DFN package measuring 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm × 0.55 mm with exposed thermal pad (no internal thermal pad required; energy dissipated in silicon). All six terminals must be soldered for full 40A surge rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pins 1, 2, 3 | GND | Common ground return path; all three pins must be connected to minimize inductance and maximize surge current handling. |
| Pins 4, 5, 6 | IN | Protected line input (e.g., VBUS in USB PD); parallel connection ensures uniform current sharing and optimal clamping performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant clamping voltage | 27.5–28 V across 24–40A and −40°C to +125°C - eliminates derating concerns in industrial thermal environments. |
| FET-based shunt architecture | Surge-rated MOSFET + precision trigger circuit - replaces fixed-RDYN TVS with voltage-controlled low-RON switching. |
| Low dynamic resistance | 20 mΩ - reduces IR drop during surge, enabling tighter clamping than TVS diodes with >1 Ω RDYN. |
| High EFT immunity | ±4 kV per IEC 61000-4-4 (5/50 ns, 100 kHz/5 kHz) - sustains operation under repetitive burst noise in motor drives or PLCs. |
Applications
| USB Type-C Power Delivery Bus Protection | Industrial Load Switch Input Protection |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protecting 20–22V VBUS lines in USB-C ports supporting up to 100W PD, exposed to ESD during hot-plug and lightning-induced surges on long cables. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary EOS shunt protector placed directly at the connector, diverting transients before they reach the PD controller or load switch. Use Value: Maintains 27.5–28V clamping across temperature-well below 30V absolute max of common PD controllers-eliminating need for oversized TVS devices. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding input of industrial-grade load switches (e.g., HS2950P) in remote meters, robotics, or factory automation where 22V rails face repeated surge exposure. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Front-end transient suppressor that limits voltage stress on the load switch's internal FET gate oxide and drain-source junction. Use Value: Prevents premature failure of load switches by clamping surges to ≤28V, staying under typical 30–35V FET VDSS derated limits at elevated temperatures. |
| IoT Edge Node Power Rail Protection | Storage Device 22V Backup Supply Protection |
|
Use Scenario: Securing 22V auxiliary power inputs in battery-backed IoT gateways or edge AI nodes deployed in uncontrolled environments (e.g., outdoor kiosks, smart agriculture sensors). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-device solution for combined ESD, EFT, and surge protection on non-isolated 22V supply rails feeding PMICs or microcontrollers. Use Value: Replaces multi-component TVS+filter networks with one DFN device, reducing BOM count and PCB footprint while guaranteeing consistent clamping. |
Use Scenario: Protecting 22V supercapacitor or LiFePO4 backup supplies in enterprise SSDs or NAS enclosures subjected to AC-line coupled surges during power cycling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standby-mode protector that remains inactive below 22V but responds within nanoseconds to overvoltage events exceeding VRWM. Use Value: Ensures backup power integrity by preventing transient-induced latch-up or overvoltage damage to storage controller power domains. |
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 1.6×1.6mm package, identical marking (T22), and same tape-and-reel packaging (3,000/reel). | No functional difference; TDS2211P.C is the standard orderable variant of GS12341-INTE3Z per Semtech documentation. | Select TDS2211P.C when standard Semtech part numbering is required for procurement or legacy BOM alignment. |
| uClamp2411ZA | 24V working voltage, lower 24A IPP rating, higher 30V clamping, and smaller 0.65×0.65mm 2-lead SOD-523 package. | Targeted at CC/SBU lines in USB-C-not rated for 22V VBUS; unsuitable for 40A surge or power rail protection. | Use uClamp2411ZA only for low-capacitance, low-energy signal-line protection-not as a replacement for GS12341-INTE3Z on power rails. |
Compared with GS12341-INTE3Z, TDS2211P.C is functionally identical and interchangeable, whereas uClamp2411ZA serves a different voltage class and application scope-its 24A rating and 30V clamping make it inadequate for 22V bus protection requiring 40A surge handling and sub-28V clamping.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous operating voltage for GS12341-INTE3Z?
The GS12341-INTE3Z has a reverse stand-off voltage (VRWM) of 22 V, meaning it can continuously block up to 22 V DC without significant leakage or conduction. This makes GS12341-INTE3Z appropriate for 22V nominal power rails such as USB PD VBUS, industrial 24V systems derated to 22V, and backup supplies using LiFePO4 or supercapacitors.
How does GS12341-INTE3Z differ from standard TVS diodes in clamping behavior?
Unlike standard TVS diodes whose clamping voltage rises linearly with peak pulse current (VC = VBR + IPP × RDYN), GS12341-INTE3Z maintains a near-constant clamping voltage of 27.5–28 V from 24A to 40A due to its FET-based shunt architecture and decreasing RDS(on). This eliminates thermal derating uncertainty and improves system-level surge margin.
Can GS12341-INTE3Z be used on high-speed data lines like USB SuperSpeed or PCIe?
No-GS12341-INTE3Z is not suitable for high-speed data lines. Its 175 pF junction capacitance at 22V would severely degrade signal integrity on differential pairs operating above ~100 Mbps. GS12341-INTE3Z is intended exclusively for 22V power or low-frequency I/O lines; use low-capacitance devices like RClamp3371ZC (<0.25 pF) for USB SS or DP/DM lanes.
What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance of GS12341-INTE3Z?
Place GS12341-INTE3Z as close as possible to the protected connector. Connect all three IN pins (4,5,6) via a single short, wide trace to the protected line, and tie all three GND pins (1,2,3) directly to a solid ground plane using multiple vias. Avoid thermal relief on GND pads to minimize inductance-critical for achieving full 40A surge capability.
Is GS12341-INTE3Z compliant with environmental and safety standards?
Yes-GS12341-INTE3Z is Pb-free, halogen-free, and RoHS/WEEE compliant. Its molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating. It is also qualified per IEC 61000-4-2 (±30kV ESD), IEC 61000-4-4 (±4kV EFT), and IEC 61000-4-5 (40A 8/20μs surge), making GS12341-INTE3Z suitable for industrial and consumer applications with stringent compliance requirements.
