Product details
Overview
PTVS6V3Z1UPCAZ from Nexperia is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor diode in DFN1610-2 (SOD1610-1) package, designed to protect single-line power or signal paths against IEC 61000-4-5 surges and IEC 61000-4-2 ESD events. It features 6.3 V reverse standoff voltage, 140 A rated peak pulse current (8/20 µs), 9.9 V typical clamping voltage at 140 A, and 380 pF capacitance at 1 MHz - enabling robust protection in space-constrained portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the PTVS6V3Z1UPCAZ datasheet, PTVS6V3Z1UPCAZ pinout, PTVS6V3Z1UPCAZ application, or PTVS6V3Z1UPCAZ equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 140 A surge, low leakage (<1 µA at 6.3 V), ultra-small footprint compatibility with high-density PCB layouts, and ESD immunity up to ±30 kV (contact/air discharge).
Technical Context
This unidirectional TVS diode operates as a clamping device in series with a single line referenced to ground, activating only when reverse voltage exceeds 6.4 V breakdown threshold (IR = 1 mA). Its silicon avalanche structure delivers fast response (<1 ns rise time) and stable clamping across junction temperatures from −40 °C to 150 °C.
The DFN1610-2 package enables direct integration into compact DC power rails and low-voltage data lines, with thermal resistance optimized for pulsed dissipation. Its 380 pF capacitance at 0 V bias ensures minimal signal distortion on lines operating below ~100 MHz, while maintaining sub-10 V clamping during full-rated 140 A transients.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VRWM | 6.3 V - Maximum continuous reverse working voltage before leakage exceeds 1 µA; defines safe operating margin for 5 V or 6 V supply lines. |
| VBR | 6.4 V min at 1 mA - Ensures reliable turn-on before system-level overvoltage damage occurs on protected lines. |
| VCL | 9.9 V typ at 140 A - Clamps 8/20 µs surges to safe levels for downstream ICs rated ≤12 V absolute maximum. |
| IPPM | 140 A - Rated peak pulse current per IEC 61000-4-5; supports Level 4 surge immunity in industrial/portable designs. |
| Cd | 380 pF at 1 MHz, 0 V - Low enough to avoid signal integrity degradation on USB 2.0 or UART lines. |
| ESD Rating | ±30 kV contact / ±30 kV air per IEC 61000-4-2 - Meets highest immunity class without external filtering. |
Pinout & Package
DFN1610-2 (SOD1610-1) is an ultra-small, leadless surface-mount package measuring 1.6 × 1.0 × 0.55 mm, optimized for automated placement and high thermal efficiency in dense PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (K) | Cathode | Connected to the protected line; conducts surge current to ground when reverse voltage exceeds VBR. |
| 2 (A) | Anode | Connected to ground reference; completes clamping path during transient events. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Unidirectional clamping | Protects positive-polarity lines only - avoids false triggering on bidirectional signals like RS-485 or CAN. |
| Ultra-low clamping voltage | 9.9 V typical at 140 A ensures downstream 12 V-rated ICs remain within safe operating area during surge events. |
| Low leakage current | ≤1 µA at VRWM = 6.3 V minimizes quiescent power loss in battery-powered portable systems. |
| High ESD immunity | ±30 kV per IEC 61000-4-2 eliminates need for additional ESD protection stages in handheld device interfaces. |
| Miniature DFN footprint | 1.6 × 1.0 mm body enables placement adjacent to connectors or IC pins without sacrificing board real estate. |
Applications
| USB Power Input Protection | Smartphone Battery Charging Line |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protects 5 V USB input from hot-plug surges and ESD during cable insertion. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between VBUS and GND to clamp transients before reaching PMIC or charging controller. Use Value: 9.9 V clamping prevents overvoltage stress on 5.5 V max-rated USB switch ICs; 380 pF avoids signal jitter on CC detection lines. |
Use Scenario: Shields lithium-ion battery charge path from adapter-induced spikes and user-handling ESD. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Connected across CHG_IN and GND to absorb 8/20 µs surges from wall adapters and ±30 kV ESD events. Use Value: 140 A surge rating handles worst-case adapter fault currents; 1 µA leakage preserves battery shelf life over months of standby. |
| IoT Sensor Node Power Rail | Wearable Device Display Interface |
Use Scenario: Secures 3.3 V or 5 V sensor supply rail against electrostatic discharge during field maintenance. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Mounted directly at sensor connector entry point to shunt ESD before reaching low-power MCU or ADC. Use Value: DFN1610-2 size allows placement within 2 mm of connector; 6.3 V VRWM matches common LDO output tolerances. |
Use Scenario: Guards SPI or I²C display interface lines against ESD during screen replacement or user interaction. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Placed on VDDIO line feeding OLED driver IC to prevent latch-up or gate oxide damage. Use Value: 380 pF capacitance avoids timing skew on 10 MHz SPI clocks; ±30 kV rating exceeds IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 requirement. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ6.0A | DO-214AC package (4.5 × 2.7 mm); 6.0 V VRWM; 100 A IPPM; 10.5 V VCL at 100 A | Larger footprint; higher clamping voltage; lower surge rating - suitable where board space permits and 140 A is not required. | Select when legacy DO-214AC layout exists or thermal mass requirements exceed DFN capability. |
| TPSMF6.0A | SOD-123FL package (2.7 × 1.7 mm); 6.0 V VRWM; 100 A IPPM; 10.8 V VCL at 100 A | Moderate size reduction vs SMAJ; still 3× larger than DFN1610-2; higher VCL reduces safety margin for 12 V ICs. | Choose for cost-sensitive designs needing SOD-123 footprint compatibility and moderate surge handling. |
Compared with SMAJ6.0A and TPSMF6.0A, PTVS6V3Z1UPCAZ delivers 40 % higher surge current rating in 75 % less board area and 0.9 V lower clamping - critical for next-gen portable devices where space, voltage margin, and surge immunity are simultaneously constrained.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for PTVS6V3Z1UPCAZ?
The junction temperature limit is 150 °C, and ambient operating range extends from −40 °C to +125 °C. Thermal performance is validated under pulsed conditions per IEC 61000-4-5, with no derating required for single-event surge exposure within datasheet limits.
Can PTVS6V3Z1UPCAZ be used on bidirectional signal lines like RS-485?
No - it is unidirectional and only protects against positive transients on lines referenced to ground. For bidirectional lines, a symmetric (bidirectional) TVS such as PTVS3V3S1UR must be used to clamp both polarities.
How does the 380 pF capacitance affect high-speed data lines?
At 380 pF, signal integrity remains acceptable on lines operating ≤10 MHz (e.g., UART, I²C, SPI). It is unsuitable for USB 2.0 HS (>480 Mbps) or HDMI, where capacitance must be <5 pF; use low-capacitance TVS arrays like PUSB3FR4 for those applications.
Is PTVS6V3Z1UPCAZ automotive qualified?
No - this part is not AEC-Q200 qualified and lacks automotive-specific testing or qualification. Nexperia explicitly states non-automotive status in its legal disclaimers; use PTVSxVxUxxA variants for automotive applications.
