Product details
Overview
GS6152-INTE3Z from Semtech is a Transient Diverting Suppressor (TDS) designed for high-energy Electrical Overstress (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 maintains a stable 27.5–28V clamping voltage across its full current and temperature range (−40°C to +125°C). It is used in USB Type-C PD input protection where low, temperature-invariant clamping prevents damage to downstream controllers.
For engineers reviewing the GS6152-INTE3Z datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping voltage stability under surge, dynamic resistance (<20 mΩ), junction capacitance (175 pF), and DFN 1.6×1.6mm 6-lead layout compatibility with high-density USB PD and industrial load switch designs.
Technical Context
The GS6152-INTE3Z uses a surge-rated FET as its primary protection element, activated by a precision trigger circuit that turns on the shunt path when transient voltage exceeds breakdown. Unlike conventional TVS diodes, its clamping voltage remains nearly constant because RDS(on) decreases with increasing current-resulting in VC ≈ VBR of the trigger circuit rather than VBR + IPP × RDYN.
It operates over −40°C to +125°C with guaranteed 22V reverse stand-off voltage, 27.9V max breakdown, and <600 nA leakage at VRWM. Its 175 pF capacitance at 22V/1 MHz and 20 mΩ dynamic resistance support robust protection without signal integrity degradation in DC-biased power rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage | 22 V - Matches nominal USB PD bus and industrial 24V rail systems without derating. |
| Clamping Voltage | 27.5–28 V at 40A (8/20μs) - Remains stable across temperature and current, enabling predictable downstream voltage margin. |
| Peak Pulse Current | 40 A (8/20μs) - Meets IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surge immunity for industrial and USB PD applications. |
| ESD Withstand | ±30 kV contact & air (IEC 61000-4-2) - Exceeds automotive and industrial ESD requirements without external staging. |
| Dynamic Resistance | 20 mΩ - Enables low-voltage drop during surge conduction, minimizing thermal stress and PCB trace heating. |
| Junction Capacitance | 175 pF at 22 V / 1 MHz - Low enough for DC power line protection; not suitable for high-speed data lines. |

Pinout & Package
GS6152-INTE3Z is housed in a Pb-free, RoHS-compliant 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 connected for rated surge performance: pins 1–3 are common ground, pins 4–6 are common input.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | GND | Common ground return path; all three must be soldered to maximize surge current handling and minimize inductance. |
| 4, 5, 6 | IN | Protected line input (e.g., VBUS or load switch input); parallel connection ensures uniform current sharing and lowest impedance path to GND. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| FET-based transient shunting | Replaces conventional TVS with active clamping: eliminates linear VC rise vs. IPP, enabling tighter voltage margins. |
| Temperature-stable clamping | Clamping voltage varies <0.5 V from −40°C to +125°C - removes thermal derating calculations in industrial environments. |
| Low dynamic resistance | 20 mΩ measured between 1A–40A - reduces I²R losses and localized heating during multi-pulse surges. |
| High-energy surge rating | 1120 W peak pulse power (8/20μs) - supports repeated lightning-induced transients in remote metering and robotics. |
| Ultra-low leakage | ≤600 nA at 22 V - avoids measurable power loss in always-on 24V industrial control inputs. |
Applications
| USB Type-C Power Delivery Input Protection | Industrial Load Switch Input Protection |
|---|---|

Use Scenario: Protecting the VBUS line of a USB Type-C port supporting up to 20V/5A PD negotiation against ESD, lightning surges, and hot-plug transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary EOS shunt device placed directly at the connector, clamping transients before they reach the PD controller or load switch. Use Value: Maintains 27.5–28 V clamping across temperature and current-ensuring PD controller stays below its 30 V absolute maximum rating even at 125°C ambient. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding the input of high-side load switches (e.g., HS2950P) in programmable logic controllers, remote I/O modules, and smart sensors. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Front-end transient suppressor that limits voltage seen by the load switch's internal FET gate oxide and drain-source junction. Use Value: Prevents catastrophic failure of the load switch during 1 kV/42 Ω IEC 61000-4-5 surges by holding clamping voltage well below the switch's 30–35 V breakdown limit. |

|
Use Scenario: Securing the main 22–24 V input rail of battery-backed IoT gateways deployed outdoors or in electrically noisy factory environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone transient suppressor on the DC input stage, coordinated with upstream fusing and downstream DC-DC converters. Use Value: Delivers 40 A surge capability and ±30 kV ESD immunity in a 1.6 mm² footprint-enabling compact, ruggedized edge hardware without external MOVs or staged TVS arrays. |
Use Scenario: Protecting the 24 V backup supply input of NVMe SSD enclosures, RAID controllers, and enterprise storage backplanes against power-rail transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-reliability clamping device placed immediately after the input connector and before EMI filtering and hold-up capacitors. Use Value: Stable 28 V clamping ensures no overvoltage reaches sensitive PMICs or flash controller power domains-even during repeated 8/20 μs surges in data center power distribution systems. |
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 pinout and marking (T22XX), manufactured by Semtech. | No functional difference; TDS2211P.C is the standard orderable variant with 3,000 pcs/reel packaging. | Select TDS2211P.C for volume production where tape-and-reel logistics and standard Semtech part numbering are preferred. |

FAQ
What is the primary protection function of the GS6152-INTE3Z?
The GS6152-INTE3Z functions as a transient diverting suppressor that shunts high-energy EOS events-including ESD, EFT, and lightning surges-to ground using an integrated surge-rated FET. Unlike TVS diodes, it maintains a near-constant clamping voltage (27.5–28 V) across its full 40 A surge rating and operating temperature range, making GS6152-INTE3Z ideal for protecting sensitive 22V power rails in USB PD and industrial systems.
Does the GS6152-INTE3Z require a thermal pad on the PCB?
No, the GS6152-INTE3Z does not require a thermal pad. Its DFN package dissipates surge energy within the silicon die, and the datasheet explicitly states "no thermal pad is needed." Instead, optimal performance requires connecting all three GND pins (1–3) and all three IN pins (4–6) with low-inductance traces and multiple vias to the ground plane-ensuring GS6152-INTE3Z achieves its rated 40 A peak pulse current capability.
Can the GS6152-INTE3Z be used on high-speed data lines like USB SuperSpeed or PCIe?
No, the GS6152-INTE3Z is not suitable for high-speed data lines. With 175 pF junction capacitance at 22 V, it would severely degrade signal integrity on differential pairs operating above ~100 Mbps. GS6152-INTE3Z is designed exclusively for DC or low-frequency power and control lines-such as USB PD VBUS, load switch inputs, or 24V backup supplies-where low clamping voltage and high surge current matter more than capacitance.
How does the GS6152-INTE3Z compare to standard TVS diodes in clamping behavior?
The GS6152-INTE3Z clamps at a nearly flat 27.5–28 V from 1 A to 40 A and across −40°C to +125°C, whereas standard TVS diodes exhibit rising clamping voltage (VC = VBR + IPP × RDYN) with both current and temperature. This fundamental difference means GS6152-INTE3Z guarantees consistent protection margins in thermally demanding applications-eliminating the need for worst-case derating that complicates TVS selection for industrial or automotive 22V systems.
Is the GS6152-INTE3Z RoHS and REACH compliant?
Yes, the GS6152-INTE3Z is fully RoHS/WEEE compliant and halogen-free, with lead-free termination and UL 94V-0 molding compound. Its compliance is documented in Semtech's official datasheet (Rev 2.5, Nov 2021), and Aetrix Electronics sources only certified, traceable production lots-ensuring GS6152-INTE3Z meets global environmental and safety regulations for industrial, computing, and consumer electronics deployment.
