Product details
Overview
LR1120DVK1TBKS from Semtech is a transient diverting suppressor (TDS) designed for high-energy EOS protection of 22V-rated power or I/O lines, featuring ±30kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity, 40A peak pulse current (8/20μs), 27.5–28V clamping voltage at 40A, and 20mΩ dynamic resistance. It protects USB Type-C power delivery buses, load switch inputs, and industrial I/O interfaces where stable clamping under temperature and current stress is critical.
For engineers reviewing the LR1120DVK1TBKS datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its constant-clamp FET-based architecture, DFN 1.6×1.6mm 6-lead package, 22V working voltage, low 175pF junction capacitance, and suitability for USB PD, IoT, and industrial equipment surge protection.
Technical Context
The LR1120DVK1TBKS uses a surge-rated MOSFET as the primary shunt element, activated by an integrated precision trigger circuit that turns on the FET when transient voltage exceeds breakdown - enabling near-constant clamping independent of peak current or temperature. Unlike conventional TVS diodes, its clamping voltage remains stable across −40°C to +125°C and 1–40A pulse range due to decreasing RDS(on) under surge.
It operates in a bidirectional configuration with three input terminals (pins 4–6) tied to the protected line and three ground terminals (pins 1–3), requiring all six pins to be connected for full 40A rating. The device dissipates surge energy in the FET channel rather than a PN junction, eliminating thermal derating limitations typical of silicon avalanche devices.
Key Specifications

Applications
| USB Type-C Power Delivery Protection | Industrial Load Switch Input Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting VBUS lines in USB-C receptacles supporting up to 20 V/5 A PD negotiation, exposed to ESD and lightning-induced surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary high-energy shunt suppressor placed adjacent to connector, clamping transients before they reach PD controller ICs (e.g., STUSB4500, TUSB73x0). Use Value: Maintains 27.5–28 V clamping across temperature and current - avoids overvoltage damage to 24 V-rated PD controllers even at 125°C ambient. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding input terminals of industrial-grade load switches (e.g., HS2950P, TPS229xx) in remote meters, robotics, and factory automation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Front-end EOS protector that limits voltage seen by the load switch's internal FET gate oxide and drain-source junction. Use Value: Prevents premature failure of load switches during 1 kV/42 Ω IEC 61000-4-5 surges by holding clamp below 28 V - well below typical 30 V FET breakdown thresholds. |
| IoT Device Power Rail Protection | Storage Device Interface Protection |
Use Scenario: Securing 22 V supply rails in battery-powered edge nodes (e.g., LoRaWAN gateways, smart sensors) deployed in uncontrolled environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-device solution for combined ESD, EFT, and surge immunity on main power input, eliminating multi-stage protection networks. Use Value: Delivers ±30 kV ESD, ±4 kV EFT, and 40 A surge protection in one 1.6 mm² footprint - reduces BOM count and layout complexity for space-constrained PCBs. |
Use Scenario: Shielding SATA, eMMC, or UFS power rails in SSDs and embedded storage modules from EOS events during hot-plug or system-level surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: DC rail protector placed between power connector and PMIC/regulator input, preventing latch-up or burnout in voltage management ICs. Use Value: 175 pF capacitance and <600 nA leakage at 22 V ensure no impact on power sequencing or standby current - critical for low-power storage applications. |
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, but marked "T22" and shipped in 3,000-unit 7″ reels; LR1120DVK1TBKS is Semtech's branded distribution variant with traceable lot coding. | No functional difference; both qualified for USB PD and industrial use. LR1120DVK1TBKS offers Aetrix's supply chain traceability and volume procurement support. | Select LR1120DVK1TBKS for production programs requiring full lot traceability, scheduled delivery, and lifecycle coordination. |

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous operating voltage for LR1120DVK1TBKS?
The LR1120DVK1TBKS has a reverse stand-off voltage (VRWM) of 22 V, meaning it can continuously block up to 22 V DC without clamping. This matches the maximum nominal voltage of USB Power Delivery 3.0 (20 V) plus safety margin, and is validated across −40°C to +125°C ambient conditions per the official Semtech datasheet Rev 2.5.
Does LR1120DVK1TBKS require a thermal pad on the PCB?
No, LR1120DVK1TBKS does not require a thermal pad. Its DFN package dissipates surge energy in the silicon FET channel, not through junction heating like traditional TVS diodes. The datasheet explicitly states "no thermal pad is needed," and recommends connecting all GND pins (1–3) with multiple vias to reduce inductance instead of adding copper pour under the device.
Can LR1120DVK1TBKS protect high-speed data lines like USB SS or PCIe?
No, LR1120DVK1TBKS is not suitable for high-speed data lines. With 175 pF junction capacitance at 22 V, it would severely degrade signal integrity on SuperSpeed (5+ Gbps), PCIe, or DisplayPort links. It is intended exclusively for DC power rails and low-speed control lines; for data line protection, Semtech recommends RClamp3371ZC (<0.25 pF) alongside LR1120DVK1TBKS.
How does LR1120DVK1TBKS achieve constant clamping voltage across temperature?
LR1120DVK1TBKS achieves constant clamping by using a precision-triggered MOSFET shunt instead of a PN junction. As surge current increases, the FET's RDS(on) decreases, counteracting voltage rise - and the trigger circuit's breakdown voltage remains stable over temperature. This results in ≤0.5 V variation in VC from −40°C to +125°C, unlike TVS diodes whose clamping rises >3 V over the same range.
Is LR1120DVK1TBKS compliant with RoHS and REACH regulations?
Yes, LR1120DVK1TBKS is Pb-free, halogen-free, and fully compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. Its molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and lead finish is 100% matte tin - confirmed in the "Mechanical Characteristics" section of the Semtech TDS2211P datasheet Rev 2.5.
