Product details
Overview
PSMP025-40YEX from Nexperia is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode designed for low-voltage DC power rail protection, featuring a 40 V standoff voltage, 25 W peak pulse power rating (8/20 µs), and ultra-compact SOD523 (SC-72) package. It delivers fast clamping response (<1 ns), low leakage current (<1 µA at 32 V), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive body electronics and infotainment power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the PSMP025-40YEX datasheet, PSMP025-40YEX pinout, PSMP025-40YEX application, or PSMP025-40YEX equivalent, this device is selected for robust overvoltage protection in space-constrained 12 V/24 V automotive subsystems where low capacitance (<30 pF), precise breakdown threshold, and high surge immunity are critical.
Technical Context
This TVS operates as a single-anode, cathode-grounded unidirectional clamp, triggered by reverse-biased avalanche breakdown above its VRWM of 40 V. Its 25 W peak power rating is specified at the industry-standard 8/20 µs current waveform, with a maximum clamping voltage of 64 V at 1.2 A IPP.
The SOD523 package enables direct integration into tight-layout power entry points, while its AEC-Q101 qualification confirms operation across –40 °C to +150 °C ambient, supporting under-hood and dashboard-mounted ECUs requiring long-term reliability without derating.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Standoff Voltage (VRWM) | 40 V - Maximum continuous DC operating voltage before conduction begins; sets upper limit for protected rail (e.g., 36 V nominal 48 V systems). |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 44.4–49.1 V @ 1 mA - Tight 10.6% tolerance ensures predictable turn-on across temperature and production lots. |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 64 V @ 1.2 A (8/20 µs) - Limits downstream voltage stress during surge events; enables use with 65 V-rated ICs. |
| Peak Pulse Power (PPPM) | 25 W @ 8/20 µs - Supports IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3 (1 kV/2 Ω) surge testing on 12 V lines. |
| Leakage Current (IR) | <1 µA @ 32 V - Minimizes quiescent power loss in always-on automotive modules (e.g., CAN gateways). |
| Capacitance (Cj) | 25 pF @ 0 V - Low enough to avoid signal integrity impact on adjacent high-speed traces in multi-layer PCBs. |
| Package | SOD523 (SC-72) - 1.2 × 0.8 × 0.6 mm footprint; compatible with standard 0201 pick-and-place and reflow profiles. |
Pinout & Package
SOD523 (SC-72) is a 2-pin surface-mount package with anode and cathode terminals exposed on opposite ends of a flat, rectangular body. Cathode identified by a band marking.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode (A) | Input side of protected line | Connected to power rail (e.g., VBAT); conducts during positive transients when cathode is grounded. |
| Cathode (K) | Ground reference terminal | Must be tied directly to low-impedance system ground plane to ensure effective clamping and minimal Ldi/dt overshoot. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive applications including engine control, lighting, and ADAS sensors per stress test requirements. |
| Ultra-low leakage | <1 µA at 80% VRWM enables use in battery-backed circuits without measurable drain over years. |
| Tight VBR tolerance | ±5.3% (44.4–49.1 V) reduces need for guardbanding in system-level surge margin analysis. |
| Sub-1 ns response time | Ensures clamping initiates before sensitive downstream components (e.g., MCU power pins) experience overvoltage. |
| Robust surge handling | Withstands ≥1000 surges at rated IPP - supports extended lifetime in harsh environments like commercial vehicle power networks. |
Applications
| Automotive Body Control Module (BCM) | Infotainment Power Supply Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 12 V input to microcontroller-based door module against load dump and jump-start transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between fuse output and LDO input; clamps within 1 ns to limit voltage to ≤64 V. Use Value: Prevents LDO failure and MCU brownout during ISO 16750-2 load dump tests (up to 35 V/100 ms), enabling single-stage protection without series resistors. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding USB-C PD controller VBUS input in head unit against ESD and conducted surges from vehicle harness. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-line clamp on 12 V auxiliary rail feeding buck converter; absorbs 8/20 µs surges before regulation stage. Use Value: Maintains <25 pF capacitance to avoid degrading USB 2.0 signal integrity while meeting ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a immunity requirements. |
| LED Headlamp Driver Input | Telematics Cellular Modem Power Rail |
Use Scenario: Shielding constant-current LED driver IC from alternator ripple and ignition coil coupling in forward lighting systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Parallel-connected TVS across input capacitor; clamps repetitive 100 V spikes with <1 µA leakage at 32 V. Use Value: Eliminates need for bulkier DO-214AC devices, saving >70% board area while sustaining 150 °C junction temperature during thermal cycling. |
Use Scenario: Protecting LTE modem PMIC input in telematics control unit exposed to battery disconnect transients and RF coupling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated TVS on 5 V switched rail; activated only during >40 V excursions to preserve efficiency during normal operation. Use Value: Enables compliance with CISPR 25 Class 5 radiated emissions by minimizing parasitic oscillation during clamping due to low package inductance. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ40A | DO-214AC package (4.5 × 2.7 mm); 400 W PPPM; higher VC (64.5 V @ 3.1 A) | Used where higher surge energy (IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4) is required; unsuitable for space-constrained layouts | Select when system-level surge testing exceeds 25 W but board area allows larger footprint. |
| PESD5V0S1BA | SOD523 package; 5 V VRWM; 200 W PPPM; bidirectional; 30 pF Cj | Designed for data line (USB, CAN) protection; not rated for power rail clamping above 5.5 V | Choose only for signal-line ESD suppression-not for DC power rail overvoltage protection. |
Compared with SMAJ40A, PSMP025-40YEX trades surge capacity for miniaturization and lower leakage-ideal for compact automotive modules. Versus PESD5V0S1BA, it provides correct voltage rating and unidirectional behavior for power rails, avoiding false triggering during normal 12 V operation.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for PSMP025-40YEX?
The PSMP025-40YEX is qualified per AEC-Q101 for operation from –40 °C to +150 °C junction temperature. Its SOD523 package enables efficient heat dissipation in PCB layouts with adequate copper pour, supporting sustained operation in under-hood environments without derating up to 125 °C ambient.
Can PSMP025-40YEX be used for bidirectional protection?
No. PSMP025-40YEX is a unidirectional TVS diode with cathode-grounded configuration. It clamps only negative transients relative to ground. For bidirectional protection (e.g., data lines), Nexperia offers PESD-series devices such as PESD3V3V1BL or PESD5V0R1BSF.
How does PSMP025-40YEX compare to standard Zener diodes for surge protection?
Unlike general-purpose Zeners, PSMP025-40YEX is optimized for transient suppression: it features faster response (<1 ns vs. ~10 ns), higher peak power (25 W vs. typically <1 W), tighter VBR tolerance, and AEC-Q101 qualification-making it suitable for automotive surge standards where Zeners would fail catastrophically.
Is PSMP025-40YEX compatible with lead-free reflow soldering?
Yes. The SOD523 package and internal construction meet JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL1) and support standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260 °C, 10 s max), with no pre-baking required for typical production handling.
