Product details
Overview
PTVS40VP1UTP-QX from Nexperia is a unidirectional 600 W Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) in SOD128 (CFP5) package, designed for high-temperature transient overvoltage protection in automotive power rails. It features VRWM = 40 V, VBR(min) = 44.4 V, VCL = 64.5 V at IPPM = 9.3 A (10/1000 µs), and operates up to Tj = 185 °C.
For engineers reviewing the PTVS40VP1UTP-QX datasheet, PTVS40VP1UTP-QX pinout, PTVS40VP1UTP-QX application, or PTVS40VP1UTP-QX equivalent, this device is selected for robust ESD/ISO 7637-2 surge suppression in engine control units, battery management systems, and 12 V/24 V automotive subsystems where thermal stability and AEC-Q101 compliance are mandatory.
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode clamps transients using avalanche breakdown in silicon PN junction. Its 40 V reverse standoff voltage enables protection of 36–42 V nominal circuits, with clamping voltage tightly specified at 64.5 V (typ) under 9.3 A peak pulse current per IEC 61643-321 (10/1000 µs).
Thermal design is enabled by Rth(j-sp) = 12 K/W to solder point and rated junction temperature up to 185 °C. The device meets AEC-Q101 stress test qualification and delivers 30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge ESD immunity - critical for under-hood electronics exposed to harsh thermal and electrical environments.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 600 W - sustains 10/1000 µs surges without failure in automotive load-dump or ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a events |
| Reverse Standoff Voltage | VRWM = 40 V - blocks normal 36–40 V system operation while remaining fully inactive below clamping threshold |
| Clamping Voltage | VCL = 64.5 V @ IPPM = 9.3 A - limits downstream IC voltage to safe level during 10/1000 µs transients |
| Breakdown Voltage | VBR(min) = 44.4 V @ IR = 1 mA - ensures reliable turn-on before damaging overvoltage reaches protected circuitry |
| Junction Temperature | Tj(max) = 185 °C - supports placement near high-power components in engine compartments or inverters |
| ESD Rating | ±30 kV contact discharge (IEC 61000-4-2) - eliminates need for additional ESD stages in CAN/LIN bus nodes |
| Package | SOD128 (CFP5) - 3.8 mm × 2.6 mm × 1.0 mm low-profile SMD footprint compatible with automated reflow assembly |
Pinout & Package
SOD128 (CFP5) plastic surface-mounted package with 2 terminals, 4 mm pitch, and 1 mm maximum height. Cathode identified by marking bar on top surface.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (K) | Connected to protected circuit's positive rail; conducts avalanche current during overvoltage event |
| 2 | Anode (A) | Connected to ground or low-impedance return path; completes clamping loop during transient |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive use including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD stress per discrete semiconductor standard |
| High-temperature operation | Rated for continuous operation at Tj ≤ 185 °C - suitable for under-hood ECUs and traction inverter auxiliary supplies |
| Low-profile SMD package | 1.0 mm max height enables placement in space-constrained modules such as ADAS camera housings or motor controllers |
| Low leakage current | IRM ≤ 0.001 µA @ VRWM - prevents parasitic drain in always-on battery-connected circuits |
| Stable clamping performance | VCL variation < ±5 % across -55 °C to +150 °C ambient - ensures consistent protection in extreme climates |
Applications
| Engine Control Unit (ECU) Power Input | Automotive Battery Management System (BMS) |
|---|---|

Use Scenario: Protects 12 V supply input of diesel/gasoline ECU against load dump (ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a) and alternator ripple. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between battery rail and DC-DC input, clamping within 1 ns to limit voltage to ≤65 V. Use Value: Prevents damage to MCU, CAN transceivers, and analog front-ends during 120 V/100 ms transients without derating at 150 °C ambient. |
Use Scenario: Shields BMS monitoring ICs and cell-balancing FET drivers from jump-start surges and grounding faults. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary overvoltage clamp on main 12 V auxiliary supply feeding isolated ADCs and digital isolators. Use Value: Maintains <1 µA leakage at 40 V to avoid self-discharge in parked vehicle mode while surviving 30 kV ESD events on service ports. |
| Body Control Module (BCM) LIN Bus Protection | Electric Power Steering (EPS) Motor Driver Supply |
|
Use Scenario: Guards LIN transceiver VCC pin against coupled transients from adjacent high-current loads (e.g., window lifters). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Local TVS mounted directly at transceiver power pin, minimizing trace inductance for sub-ns response. Use Value: Clamps to 64.5 V before LIN PHY IC absolute maximum rating (65 V) is exceeded, enabling single-stage protection. |
Use Scenario: Safeguards gate driver IC supply in 48 V EPS motor control unit exposed to inductive kickback and battery reversal. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-energy TVS on pre-regulator input, absorbing >500 mJ pulses from MOSFET switching noise. Use Value: Delivers 600 W peak power handling with Rth(j-sp) = 12 K/W, enabling direct mounting to copper pour for thermal reliability. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Littelfuse SMAJ40A-Q | Same VRWM (40 V), but lower PPPM = 400 W; VCL = 64.5 V @ 6.2 A; SMC package (2.5 mm height) | Lower energy handling limits suitability to non-load-dump scenarios like ESD-only zones | Select when board height >1 mm is acceptable and peak surge energy is <400 W |
| Vishay VMM40MT | Higher VRWM = 43 V; same SOD128 footprint; VCL = 69 V @ 8.7 A; Tj(max) = 175 °C | Marginally higher clamping voltage reduces protection margin for 40 V-rated downstream ICs | Select only if system nominal voltage is ≥42 V and thermal budget allows 10 °C lower max junction temperature |
Compared with Littelfuse SMAJ40A-Q and Vishay VMM40MT, PTVS40VP1UTP-QX uniquely combines 600 W surge rating, 185 °C junction capability, and 1 mm profile in SOD128 - making it the only option qualified for high-energy, high-temperature automotive power rail protection without package height compromise.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of PTVS40VP1UTP-QX under standardized surge conditions?
The clamping voltage VCL is 64.5 V (typical) at IPPM = 9.3 A under IEC 61643-321 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at Tj = 25 °C and remains within ±5 % across -55 °C to +150 °C ambient, ensuring predictable protection behavior in real-world under-hood environments.
Does PTVS40VP1UTP-QX require external heat sinking for automotive under-hood use?
No external heatsink is required. With Rth(j-sp) = 12 K/W to solder point and Rth(j-a) = 60 K/W on ceramic PCB, the device safely dissipates surge energy at Tj ≤ 185 °C when mounted per Nexperia's CFP5 reflow footprint (Fig. 7). Standard FR4 layouts with 1 cm² cathode pad achieve Rth(j-a) = 120 K/W - sufficient for intermittent surge duty.
How does the marking code 'CY' relate to PTVS40VP1UTP-QX?
'CY' is the top-side laser marking for PTVS40VP1UTP-QX per Table 4 of the datasheet. It appears adjacent to the cathode bar on the SOD128 package body and enables rapid visual identification during assembly and field repair - distinct from other variants like PTVS36VP1UTP-Q (CW) or PTVS43VP1UTP-Q (CZ).
Can PTVS40VP1UTP-QX replace bidirectional TVS diodes in CAN bus protection?
No. As a unidirectional device, PTVS40VP1UTP-QX only protects against positive transients on the line it's installed across. CAN bus requires bidirectional clamping (e.g., PTVS3V3S1UR, PTVS5V0S1UR) to suppress both positive and negative voltage excursions relative to common-mode ground. Using this part on CAN would leave negative surges unclamped.
