Product details
Overview
GS6152-INE3 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. It is used in USB Type-C PD bus protection where low, temperature-invariant clamping prevents damage to voltage-sensitive controllers.
For engineers reviewing the GS6152-INE3 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping voltage stability over 40A surge current, DFN-6 thermal and layout performance, 175pF junction capacitance at 22V, and compatibility with industrial-grade load switch input protection schemes.
Technical Context
The GS6152-INE3 uses a surge-rated FET as its primary protection element, activated by a precision trigger circuit that senses overvoltage events. Unlike conventional TVS diodes, its clamping voltage remains nearly constant-27.5–28V-across 24A to 40A surge currents due to decreasing RDS(on) under transient stress.
It operates from −40°C to +125°C with <20mΩ dynamic resistance (8/20μs), 130–600nA reverse leakage at 22V, and 25–27.9V breakdown voltage. Its functional architecture isolates protected lines (pins 4–6) from ground (pins 1–3), enabling robust single-line protection without series impedance or signal distortion.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage | 22V - defines maximum continuous DC bus voltage it can protect without leakage or degradation |
| Clamping Voltage | 27.5–28V at 40A (8/20μs) - ensures downstream 24V-rated ICs (e.g., USB PD controllers) remain below damage threshold |
| Peak Pulse Current | 40A (8/20μs) - meets IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surge immunity for industrial equipment interfaces |
| ESD Withstand | ±30kV contact & air (IEC 61000-4-2) - exceeds automotive and industrial ESD requirements for connector-facing protection |
| Junction Capacitance | 175pF at 22V, 1MHz - low enough for 22V power rail protection without affecting load switch response or PD negotiation timing |
| Dynamic Resistance | 20mΩ (8/20μs) - enables minimal voltage rise during fast transients, critical for maintaining clamping stability |
| Package | DFN 1.6 × 1.6 × 0.55 mm, 6-lead - supports high-density PCB layouts near USB-C connectors or load switch inputs |
Pinout & Package
GS6152-INE3 is housed in a Pb-free, RoHS-compliant DFN-6 package (1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.55mm) with exposed thermal pad not required-energy dissipation occurs within the FET channel. All six terminals are electrically active and must be connected per layout guidelines for full 40A surge rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pins 1, 2, 3 | GND | Common ground return path for surge current; all three must be connected with low-inductance vias to maximize current handling |
| Pins 4, 5, 6 | IN | Protected line input (e.g., VBUS or load switch VIN); parallel connection ensures uniform current sharing and minimizes trace inductance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| FET-based clamping architecture | Delivers flat clamping voltage (27.5–28V) across full 24–40A surge range-unlike TVS diodes whose VC rises linearly with IPP |
| Temperature-stable clamping | Maintains ≤28V clamping from −40°C to +125°C-enables reliable protection in uncooled industrial enclosures and automotive under-hood zones |
| Low dynamic resistance | 20mΩ enables sub-1V voltage overshoot during 40A surges-critical for protecting 24V-rated e-fuse and load switch gate drivers |
| High EFT immunity | ±4kV per IEC 61000-4-4 (5/50ns, 5kHz & 100kHz)-protects against repetitive switching noise in motor drives and PLC I/O modules |
| UL 94V-0 molding compound | Ensures flame-retardant reliability in enclosed industrial and medical power systems where safety certification is mandatory |
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 and lightning-induced surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary EOS shunt device placed directly at the connector, clamping transients before they reach the PD controller or multiplexer. Use Value: Maintains 27.5–28V clamping across temperature and current-prevents false overvoltage shutdowns and ensures PD negotiation integrity under real-world surge conditions. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding input pins of high-side load switches (e.g., HS2950P) in remote meters, robotics, and IoT gateways subjected to field-installed wiring surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Front-end transient suppressor that limits voltage seen by the load switch's internal FET drain, preventing avalanche failure or gate oxide stress. Use Value: Enables use of cost-optimized 24V-rated load switches without derating-eliminates need for oversized, higher-VDS MOSFETs solely for surge margin. |
| IoT Edge Device Power Rail Protection | Storage Device 22V Backup Power Line |
|
Use Scenario: Securing 22V auxiliary rails in battery-backed smart sensors and wireless gateways deployed in harsh electrical environments (e.g., factory floors). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone transient suppressor on non-data power paths, operating independently of communication protocols or timing constraints. Use Value: 175pF capacitance avoids loading effects on 22V bias rails feeding low-noise analog front-ends or real-time clocks-no signal integrity trade-offs. |
Use Scenario: Protecting 22V backup power inputs in NVMe SSDs or enterprise SSD modules where sudden voltage spikes could corrupt flash memory state. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-acting shunt clamp on the backup supply line, triggered before transient energy propagates into PMIC or flash controller power domains. Use Value: 40A surge rating handles worst-case coupling from adjacent high-current switching circuits-ensures data retention integrity during brown-out recovery sequences. |
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 code T22; GS6152-INE3 is Semtech's alternate ordering designation for TDS2211P.C | No functional difference-same pinout, same thermal behavior, same qualification testing per Rev 2.5 datasheet | Select GS6152-INE3 when sourcing through Aetrix Electronics' distribution channel; fully interchangeable with TDS2211P.C in BOMs and layouts |
| uClamp2411ZA | 24V working voltage, lower 24A IPP rating, higher 30V clamping, smaller 0.65 × 0.65 mm DFN-2 package, 0.25pF capacitance | Designed for CC/SBU lines-not rated for 40A surges or 22V power rail duty; unsuitable for VBUS or load switch input protection | Use uClamp2411ZA only for low-capacitance, low-energy signal line protection-never as a substitute for GS6152-INE3 in power rail applications |
Compared with TDS2211P.C (its direct twin) and uClamp2411ZA (a signal-line variant), GS6152-INE3 uniquely combines 40A surge capability, 22V working voltage, and temperature-invariant clamping-making it the only suitable choice for industrial-grade 22V power rail EOS protection where reliability under thermal stress is non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the exact package type and dimensions of GS6152-INE3?
GS6152-INE3 uses a DFN-6 package measuring 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm × 0.55 mm with no exposed thermal pad. Pins 1–3 are GND; pins 4–6 are IN. The land pattern follows Semtech's recommended layout in Rev 2.5 datasheet Figure 7, requiring all six pins to be soldered for full 40A surge rating.
Does GS6152-INE3 meet IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surge immunity?
Yes, GS6152-INE3 is rated for 40A peak pulse current (8/20μs) per IEC 61000-4-5, satisfying Level 4 (4kV open-circuit, 2Ω source impedance) for 22V systems. Its 27.5–28V clamping ensures protected devices remain within safe operating area during full-rated surges.
How does GS6152-INE3 differ from standard TVS diodes in clamping behavior?
Unlike TVS diodes-whose clamping voltage rises linearly with current (VC = VBR + IPP × RDYN)-GS6152-INE3 uses a triggered FET to maintain 27.5–28V clamping from 24A to 40A. This eliminates design margin uncertainty caused by temperature-dependent VBR drift and RDYN variation.
Can GS6152-INE3 be used on USB SuperSpeed differential pairs?
No, GS6152-INE3 is not suitable for USB SuperSpeed (TX/RX) lines. Its 175pF junction capacitance would severely degrade signal integrity. For those lines, Semtech recommends low-capacitance devices like RClamp3371ZC (<0.25pF); GS6152-INE3 is intended only for VBUS or power rail protection.
Is GS6152-INE3 compatible with lead-free reflow profiles?
Yes, GS6152-INE3 is Pb-free, halogen-free, and RoHS/WEEE compliant. It supports standard JEDEC J-STD-020D reflow profiles, including peak temperatures up to 260°C. The DFN-6 package has been qualified for MSL-1 handling with unlimited floor life when sealed per tape-and-reel specification.
