Product details
Overview
GS1672-IBE3 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 stable 27.5–28V clamping across temperature and current range. Used in USB Type-C PD input protection to safeguard controllers from voltage overshoot.
For engineers reviewing the GS1672-IBE3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping voltage stability under 40A surge, DFN-6 thermal and layout performance, 175pF junction capacitance at 22V, and compatibility with industrial and portable power bus protection requirements.
Technical Context
The GS1672-IBE3 uses a surge-rated FET as its primary protection element, activated by a precision trigger circuit when transient voltage exceeds breakdown threshold. Unlike conventional TVS diodes, its clamping voltage remains nearly constant due to decreasing RDS(on) under increasing surge current - not fixed dynamic resistance.
It operates over –40°C to +125°C, maintains <20mΩ dynamic resistance (1A–40A, 8/20μs), and achieves stable 27.5–28V clamping at both 24A and 40A combination-wave surges (1.2/50μs voltage + 8/20μs current, RS = 2Ω). Its 175pF capacitance at 22V and 1MHz enables use on moderate-speed power rails without signal integrity compromise.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage | 22V - defines maximum continuous DC operating voltage on protected line without leakage or conduction. |
| Clamping Voltage | 27.5–28V at 40A (8/20μs + 1.2/50μs combo wave) - ensures downstream 24V-rated ICs (e.g., load switches, PD controllers) remain below damage threshold during surge. |
| Peak Pulse Current | 40A (8/20μs) - meets IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 industrial surge immunity requirement for 22V systems. |
| ESD Withstand | ±30kV contact & air (IEC 61000-4-2) - exceeds USB Type-C and industrial interface ESD robustness requirements. |
| Junction Capacitance | 175pF at 22V, 1MHz - low enough for 20V power rail protection without degrading transient response or causing excessive coupling. |
| Dynamic Resistance | 20mΩ (8/20μs) - enables near-constant clamping by minimizing V = I × R contribution across full 1–40A surge range. |
| Reverse Leakage | 600nA max at 22V - ensures negligible standby power loss and no measurable impact on 22V bus regulation. |
Pinout & Package
GS1672-IBE3 is housed in a RoHS-compliant DFN-6 package measuring 1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.55mm with exposed thermal pad (no internal thermal pad required; energy dissipated in silicon).
| 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 40A handling capability. |
| Pins 4, 5, 6 | IN | Protected line input (e.g., VBUS, load switch input); parallel connection ensures uniform current sharing and optimal clamping performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| FET-based transient shunt | Replaces conventional TVS with active switching - enables flat clamping curve independent of surge amplitude or temperature. |
| Stable clamping over temperature | 27.5–28V clamping maintained from –40°C to +125°C - eliminates derating concerns in industrial or automotive under-hood environments. |
| Low dynamic resistance | 20mΩ (1–40A, 8/20μs) - reduces voltage rise during surge, enabling tighter margin between clamping and IC absolute maximum ratings. |
| High-energy surge rating | 1120W peak pulse power (8/20μs) - supports repeated lightning-surge events per IEC 61000-4-5 without degradation. |
| DFN-6 space efficiency | 1.6mm × 1.6mm footprint - saves >50% board area vs. SOT-23 or SOIC alternatives while maintaining 6-terminal current distribution. |
Applications
| USB Type-C Power Delivery Input Protection | Industrial Load Switch Input Protection |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protecting 20–22V VBUS lines in USB-C PD ports against ESD, lightning-induced surges, and hot-plug transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary EOS shunt protector placed directly at connector, diverting surge current to ground before reaching PD controller or buck converter. Use Value: Maintains 27.5–28V clamping at full 40A surge - keeps voltage below 24V-rated PD controller damage threshold even at 125°C ambient. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding enable or input pins of industrial-grade load switches (e.g., HS2950P) in remote meters, robotics, and factory automation equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Front-end transient clamp preventing gate oxide damage and internal FET avalanche failure during system-level surge events. Use Value: 20mΩ dynamic resistance limits voltage overshoot to ≤28V during 40A transients - avoids latch-up or permanent failure of sensitive load switch control circuitry. |
| IoT Device Power Rail Protection | Notebook/Tablet 22V System Bus Protection |
|
Use Scenario: Securing 22V auxiliary power rails in battery-powered IoT gateways exposed to ESD during field servicing or environmental stress. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-component, low-capacitance (175pF) suppressor for compact, thermally constrained PCB layouts. Use Value: ±30kV ESD immunity and stable clamping ensure reliable operation without requiring additional filtering or layout guard rings. |
Use Scenario: Protecting main system power buses in ultrabooks and tablets supporting USB-C PD charging up to 20V/5A. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-reliability, space-efficient alternative to multi-diode TVS arrays - simplifies BOM and improves surge consistency. Use Value: DFN-6 footprint and 1.6mm × 1.6mm size enable placement adjacent to connectors - minimizes trace inductance and improves ESD response time. |
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 (T22), same tape-and-reel packaging (3,000/reel). | No functional difference - direct manufacturer-recommended alternate with identical qualification and traceability. | Select TDS2211P.C when sourcing from Semtech's official channel with full compliance documentation and lot traceability. |
| uClamp2411ZA | 24V working voltage, lower 24A IPP rating, higher 30V clamping, smaller 0.65mm × 0.65mm DFN-2 package, 12pF capacitance. | Targeted at CC/SBU lines in USB-C, not VBUS - insufficient for 40A surge or 22V bus protection. | Use uClamp2411ZA only for low-capacitance data-line protection; not a functional substitute for GS1672-IBE3 in power-rail roles. |
Compared with TDS2211P.C (identical spec) and uClamp2411ZA (lower surge rating, different application scope), GS1672-IBE3 provides verified 40A/22V power-rail protection in a production-qualified DFN-6 package - making it the optimal choice where high-energy EOS immunity and thermal stability are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous operating voltage for GS1672-IBE3?
The GS1672-IBE3 has a reverse stand-off voltage (VRWM) of 22V, meaning it can continuously block up to 22V DC without significant leakage or conduction. This makes GS1672-IBE3 suitable for protecting 20V USB PD VBUS lines and other 22V-rated power rails where sustained voltage exposure occurs.
How does GS1672-IBE3 achieve stable clamping voltage across varying surge currents?
GS1672-IBE3 uses a surge-rated FET activated by a precision trigger circuit. As surge current increases, the FET's RDS(on) decreases, counteracting the I×R voltage rise. This results in a nearly constant clamping voltage - 27.5–28V at both 24A and 40A - unlike conventional TVS diodes whose clamping rises linearly with current.
Can GS1672-IBE3 replace standard TVS diodes in 22V applications?
Yes - GS1672-IBE3 is specifically designed as a high-performance replacement for traditional TVS diodes in 22V systems. Its 40A surge rating, ±30kV ESD immunity, and temperature-stable clamping provide superior protection compared to PN-junction TVS devices, especially in industrial or automotive environments where thermal derating is a concern.
What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance of GS1672-IBE3?
Place GS1672-IBE3 as close as possible to the protected connector. Connect all three GND pins (1, 2, 3) directly to a solid ground plane using multiple vias, and tie all three IN pins (4, 5, 6) together with a short, wide trace. Avoid stubs or routing gaps - this minimizes parasitic inductance and ensures full 40A surge current handling capability.
Is GS1672-IBE3 compliant with RoHS and halogen-free standards?
Yes - GS1672-IBE3 is Pb-free, halogen-free, and fully compliant with RoHS and WEEE directives. Its molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and lead finish is lead-free, satisfying environmental and safety requirements for global industrial and consumer electronics manufacturing.
