Product details
Overview
LR1121DVK1TBKS 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 ultra-low 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 LR1121DVK1TBKS datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, DFN-6 package layout guidance, real-world USB PD and load switch protection use cases, and two validated alternative surge protectors with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The LR1121DVK1TBKS 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 across 24–40A peak pulse current due to decreasing RDS(on) under surge conditions.
It operates over –40°C to +125°C with stable 27.5–28V clamping at 40A (1.2/50μs voltage + 8/20μs current combination waveform, RS = 2Ω), 22V reverse stand-off voltage, and only 175pF junction capacitance at 22V - enabling use on high-speed power rails without signal integrity degradation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage | 22V - matches nominal USB PD bus and industrial 24V rail systems without derating. |
| Clamping Voltage | 27.5–28V at 40A - stays below typical 30V damage threshold of USB PD controllers and load switches. |
| Peak Pulse Current | 40A (8/20μs) - meets IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surge immunity requirements for industrial equipment. |
| ESD Withstand | ±30kV contact & air (IEC 61000-4-2) - exceeds automotive and industrial ESD robustness mandates. |
| Dynamic Resistance | 20mΩ - enables low-voltage overshoot during fast transients, minimizing stress on downstream FETs. |
| Junction Capacitance | 175pF at 22V - low enough to avoid resonance or filtering effects on 20V power rails. |
| Package | DFN 1.6 × 1.6 × 0.55 mm, 6-lead - saves >60% board area vs. SO-8 TVS solutions while supporting high-current PCB routing. |
Pinout & Package
LR1121DVK1TBKS is housed in a RoHS-compliant, halogen-free DFN-6 package (1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.55mm) with exposed thermal pad not required - energy is dissipated via the FET channel, not junction heating. All six terminals are electrically active and must be connected per layout guidelines for full 40A rating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | GND | Common ground return path for surge current; all three pins must be tied to solid ground plane with multiple vias to minimize inductance. |
| 4, 5, 6 | IN | Protected line input - connects directly to VBus, load switch input, or industrial I/O; all three pins must be paralleled for rated 40A capability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant-clamp architecture | Clamping voltage varies <0.5V across 24–40A and –40°C to +125°C - eliminates thermal derating calculations required for TVS diodes. |
| FET-based shunt topology | Surge energy diverted through low-RDS(on) channel instead of PN-junction - avoids thermal runaway and enables repeatable 40A surge handling. |
| Low dynamic resistance | 20mΩ measured between 1A–40A (8/20μs) - reduces voltage overshoot during sub-microsecond transients, protecting sensitive gate drivers. |
| High EFT immunity | ±4kV per IEC 61000-4-4 (5/50ns, 100kHz & 5kHz bursts) - ensures reliability in noisy factory automation and motor control environments. |
Applications
| USB Type-C Power Delivery Protection | Industrial Load Switch Input Protection |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TDS2211P.C | Identical electrical specs and DFN-6 package; same manufacturer, same revision (Rev 2.5), same marking "T22" - confirmed drop-in replacement per Semtech ordering documentation. | No functional difference; identical use in USB PD, load switch, and industrial I/O protection. | Select TDS2211P.C when requiring standard Semtech reel packaging (3,000 pcs/reel) and traceable date-code marking. |
| SP1003-02HTG | TVS diode (not TDS architecture); 24V VRWM, 38.7V VC @ 40A, higher 1.2Ω dynamic resistance - clamping rises significantly with temperature and current. | Acceptable for lower-cost, non-temperature-critical designs but cannot match LR1121DVK1TBKS's flat clamping curve or 125°C sustained performance. | Choose SP1003-02HTG only if board space allows larger SOD-323 package and system-level thermal margin exists above 85°C ambient. |
Compared with LR1121DVK1TBKS, TDS2211P.C offers identical performance and fit, while SP1003-02HTG trades clamping stability and temperature resilience for lower unit cost and broader distributor availability - making it suitable only where 38.7V clamping and thermal derating are acceptable.

FAQ
What is the exact package type and footprint for LR1121DVK1TBKS?
LR1121DVK1TBKS uses a 6-pin DFN package measuring 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm × 0.55 mm with terminal pitch of 0.5 mm. Pins 1–3 are GND; pins 4–6 are IN. Land pattern follows Semtech's recommended layout: solid ground plane connection via multiple vias under pins 1–3, and straight parallel trace routing to pins 4–6 - no thermal pad required.
Does LR1121DVK1TBKS require external bias or control signals to operate?
No, LR1121DVK1TBKS is fully passive and self-triggering. It contains an integrated precision trigger circuit and surge-rated FET - no external voltage, enable pin, or configuration is needed. It activates automatically when transient voltage exceeds ~25V (VBR), conducting surge current directly to ground without delay or setup.
How does LR1121DVK1TBKS differ from standard TVS diodes in clamping behavior?
Unlike TVS diodes whose clamping voltage rises linearly with peak current (VC = VBR + IPP × RDYN), LR1121DVK1TBKS maintains 27.5–28V clamping from 24A to 40A and across –40°C to +125°C. This results from its FET-based shunt architecture, where RDS(on) decreases under surge - eliminating thermal derating and ensuring predictable protection margins.
Can LR1121DVK1TBKS be used on high-speed data lines like USB SS or PCIe?
No - LR1121DVK1TBKS is intended for power or low-speed I/O lines only. Its 175pF junction capacitance is too high for SuperSpeed differential pairs (which require <0.3pF). For USB SS, DP/DM, or PCIe lanes, Semtech recommends dedicated low-capacitance TVS devices such as RClamp3371ZC (<0.25pF), used alongside LR1121DVK1TBKS on the VBus rail.
What is the maximum continuous operating voltage for LR1121DVK1TBKS?
The maximum continuous reverse stand-off voltage (VRWM) of LR1121DVK1TBKS is 22V - meaning it may be used on any DC rail with nominal voltage ≤22V and expected ripple/transients staying below 22V under normal operation. Exceeding 22V continuously risks increased leakage and accelerated aging.
