Product details
Overview
GS6081-INTE3 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 full current and temperature range (−40°C to +125°C). It protects USB PD and Type-C VBUS lines in industrial and portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the GS6081-INTE3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page provides verified electrical specifications, DFN-6 package layout guidance, real-world clamping behavior under surge conditions, and validated alternatives for 22V bus protection design.
Technical Context
The GS6081-INTE3 uses a surge-rated FET as its primary protection element, activated by a precision trigger circuit upon detection of overvoltage. Unlike conventional TVS diodes, its clamping voltage remains nearly constant due to decreasing RDS(on) under increasing transient current - not fixed dynamic resistance.
It operates with reverse stand-off voltage (VRWM) of 22V, breakdown voltage (VBR) of 25–27.9V at 1mA, and ultra-low dynamic resistance (RDYN) of 20mΩ. Its junction capacitance is 175pF at 22V/1MHz, and leakage stays below 600nA at rated VRWM.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage | 22V - matches nominal USB PD VBUS and industrial 24V rail derating requirements. |
| Clamping Voltage | 27.5–28V at 40A (8/20μs) - stays flat across current and temperature, enabling predictable downstream IC protection. |
| ESD Rating | ±30kV contact & air (IEC 61000-4-2) - exceeds Level 4 immunity for ruggedized interfaces. |
| Peak Pulse Current | 40A (8/20μs) - meets IEC 61000-4-5 Line Surge (±1kV, RS=42Ω) for industrial equipment. |
| Junction Capacitance | 175pF at 22V/1MHz - suitable for low-speed power/data lines; not intended for >100MHz signal paths. |
| Dynamic Resistance | 20mΩ - enables low-voltage drop during conduction, minimizing energy dissipation in the device. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C - supports extended-range operation in automotive and industrial environments. |
Pinout & Package
GS6081-INTE3 is housed in a Pb-free, RoHS-compliant DFN-6 package measuring 1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.55mm with UL 94V-0 molding compound. All six terminals are surface-mount; no thermal pad required - energy is dissipated within the FET structure.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | GND | Common ground return path for surge current; all three must be connected to maximize current handling and minimize parasitic inductance. |
| 4, 5, 6 | IN | Protected line input (e.g., VBUS); pins tied together externally to distribute surge current evenly across internal FET channels. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| FET-based clamping architecture | Delivers flat clamping voltage (27.5–28V) across 1–40A and −40°C to +125°C - eliminates thermal derating uncertainty vs. TVS diodes. |
| High-energy surge rating | 1120W peak pulse power (8/20μs) supports industrial lightning surge compliance without external series impedance. |
| Low dynamic resistance | 20mΩ ensures minimal voltage overshoot during fast-rising transients and reduces self-heating under repeated surges. |
| Compact DFN-6 footprint | 1.6mm × 1.6mm area saves >50% board space vs. SO-8 or SOT-23 TVS solutions with comparable ratings. |
| Robust EFT immunity | ±4kV per IEC 61000-4-4 (5/50ns, 100kHz/5kHz) - protects against repetitive switching noise in motor drives and PLCs. |
Applications
| USB Type-C Power Delivery | Industrial Load Switch Input Protection |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protecting 20–22V VBUS lines in USB-C receptacles exposed to ESD and hot-plug surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary EOS shunt protector placed directly at connector, diverting transients before reaching PD controller or load switch. Use Value: Maintains 27.5V clamping at 40A and 125°C - avoids overvoltage damage to sensitive 24V-tolerant PD controllers where TVS devices exceed safe thresholds. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding input terminals of industrial-grade load switches (e.g., HS2950P) in remote meters and robotics. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Front-end transient clamp preventing gate oxide rupture or drain-source avalanche in the load switch's internal MOSFET. Use Value: Clamping stability ensures the protected switch sees ≤28V regardless of ambient temperature or surge magnitude - extending reliability in uncontrolled environments. |
| IoT Edge Node Power Rails | Storage Device DC Input Protection |
|
Use Scenario: Securing 12–24V DC inputs on battery-powered IoT gateways subjected to field ESD and induced surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-component, low-leakage (≤600nA) protector that preserves battery life while delivering robust surge immunity. Use Value: 175pF capacitance and 22V VRWM allow direct placement on power rails without filtering distortion or startup delay. |
Use Scenario: Hardening SATA or NVMe enclosure DC inputs against accidental AC coupling or lightning-induced surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-power transient diverter placed upstream of DC-DC converters and PMICs to prevent latch-up or burnout. Use Value: 40A peak current rating and 1120W pulse power withstand capability meet EN 61000-4-5 Level 3 requirements for storage infrastructure. |
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), and shared Semtech qualification - functionally identical to GS6081-INTE3. | No functional difference; used interchangeably in USB-C and industrial designs per Semtech documentation. | Select TDS2211P.C when sourcing from authorized Semtech distributors with standard reel packaging (3,000 pcs/reel). |
| uClamp2411ZA | 24V VRWM, lower 20A IPP rating, higher 33V clamping, and smaller 0.6mm × 0.3mm DFN-2 package - optimized for CC/SBU lines, not power rails. | Intended for low-capacitance (<0.5pF) data-line protection; unsuitable for VBUS due to insufficient current handling and elevated clamping. | Choose uClamp2411ZA only for auxiliary signal lines (CC, SBU); do not substitute for GS6081-INTE3 on power paths. |
Compared with TDS2211P.C (identical performance) and uClamp2411ZA (lower rating, different use case), GS6081-INTE3 is uniquely suited for 22V power-line EOS protection requiring flat clamping, high surge margin, and industrial temperature resilience - neither alternative matches its combination of 40A/28V/125°C capability.

FAQ
What is the exact package type and dimensions of GS6081-INTE3?
GS6081-INTE3 uses a 6-pin DFN package measuring 1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.55mm with exposed copper pads for pins 1–3 (GND) and 4–6 (IN). The land pattern requires symmetric solder mask openings and multiple vias to inner ground planes to minimize inductance - full mechanical drawings are published in Semtech's TDS2211P datasheet Rev 2.5.
Does GS6081-INTE3 meet IEC 61000-4-5 surge immunity standards?
Yes, GS6081-INTE3 is rated for ±1kV (1.2/50μs voltage, 8/20μs current, RS = 42Ω) per IEC 61000-4-5 and supports up to 40A (8/20μs) peak pulse current. Its flat 27.5–28V clamping ensures protected circuits remain within safe operating limits during standardized surge events - confirmed in Figure 3 and Table 2 of the official datasheet.
How does GS6081-INTE3 differ from standard TVS diodes in clamping behavior?
Unlike TVS diodes whose clamping voltage rises linearly with peak current (VC = VBR + IPP × RDYN), GS6081-INTE3 uses a triggered FET architecture that maintains ~27.5V clamping from 1A to 40A and across −40°C to +125°C. This eliminates thermal derating uncertainty and improves predictability in high-temp industrial deployments.
Can GS6081-INTE3 be used on high-speed data lines like USB SuperSpeed or PCIe?
No - GS6081-INTE3 has 175pF junction capacitance at 22V, making it unsuitable for >100MHz signal paths. It is intended exclusively for power rails and low-speed control lines (e.g., VBUS, CC, enable signals). For SuperSpeed lanes, Semtech recommends RClamp3371ZC (<0.25pF) instead of GS6081-INTE3.
What is the maximum continuous reverse leakage current for GS6081-INTE3 at 22V?
At VRWM = 22V and TA = 25°C, GS6081-INTE3 exhibits reverse leakage current (IR) between 130nA and 600nA - well below 1μA. This low leakage preserves battery life in always-on IoT nodes and avoids false triggering in high-impedance monitoring circuits downstream of the device.
