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 R_DS(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-R_DYN TVS with voltage-controlled low-R_ON switching.
Low dynamic resistance	20 mΩ - reduces IR drop during surge, enabling tighter clamping than TVS diodes with >1 Ω R_DYN.
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: 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 V_RWM. 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 (V_RWM) 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 (V_C = V_BR + I_PP × R_DYN), 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 R_DS(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.
