Product details
Overview
S6HVM5 from Semtech is a transient diverting suppressor designed for high-energy EOS protection of 22V-rated power or I/O lines, featuring ±30kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity, 40A (8/20μs) peak pulse current handling, and stable 27.5–28V clamping across full current and temperature range; used in USB Type-C PD input protection.
For engineers reviewing the S6HVM5 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 S6HVM5 employs 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 threshold. Unlike conventional TVS diodes, its clamping voltage remains nearly constant due to decreasing RDS(on) under surge conditions.
It operates over –40°C to +125°C, maintains ≤600nA reverse leakage at 22V, and delivers 1120W peak pulse power (8/20μs). Its 175pF junction capacitance at 22V/1MHz enables compatibility with high-speed bus interfaces without signal integrity degradation.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage | 22V - Matches nominal USB PD bus voltage and avoids false triggering during normal operation. |
| Clamping Voltage | 27.5–28V at 40A (8/20μs) - Remains stable across temperature and current, protecting downstream ICs below their absolute max rating. |
| ESD Withstand | ±30kV contact & air (IEC 61000-4-2) - Exceeds industrial and consumer ESD immunity requirements without derating. |
| Peak Pulse Current | 40A (8/20μs), ±1kV (1.2/50μs, RS=42Ω) - Meets IEC 61000-4-5 Level 3/4 surge immunity for industrial equipment and USB PD ports. |
| Dynamic Resistance | 20mΩ - Enables low-voltage drop during conduction, minimizing energy dissipation and thermal stress. |
| Junction Capacitance | 175pF at 22V/1MHz - Low enough for USB Type-C VBUS line protection without affecting power delivery timing or regulation. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DFN 1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.55mm, 6-lead, RoHS-compliant, UL 94V-0 molding compound, lead-free finish, tape-and-reel packaging (3,000 pcs/reel).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | GND | Common ground return path for surge current; all three pins must be connected to maximize current sharing and minimize parasitic inductance. |
| 4, 5, 6 | IN | Protected line input (e.g., USB PD VBUS); parallel connection ensures uniform current distribution and full 40A rating. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant-clamp architecture | Clamping voltage varies <0.5V from 24A to 40A (8/20μs), eliminating design margin inflation needed with standard TVS diodes. |
| FET-based shunt topology | Surge energy diverted through low-RDS(on) channel instead of PN-junction, reducing thermal runaway risk and enabling higher reliability at elevated ambient temperatures. |
| Wide operating temperature range | Stable performance from –40°C to +125°C - supports industrial and automotive under-hood applications where ambient extremes degrade conventional TVS devices. |
| Low dynamic resistance | 20mΩ measured between 1A–40A (8/20μs) - minimizes IR drop during surge, preserving voltage margin for protected load switches and controllers. |
Applications
| USB Type-C Power Delivery Protection | Industrial Load Switch Input Protection |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protecting VBUS line in USB Type-C receptacles supporting up to 20V/5A PD negotiation, exposed to ESD and lightning-induced surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary EOS shunt protector placed adjacent to connector, clamping transients before they reach PD controller or buck converter. Use Value: Maintains 27.5–28V clamp across –40°C to +125°C, ensuring PD controller (e.g., FUSB302, TUSB73x) stays within 30V absolute max rating under worst-case surge and temperature. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding input of high-side load switches (e.g., HS2950P, TPS229xx) in remote meters, robotics, and IoT gateways subjected to 1kV/42Ω surges per IEC 61000-4-5. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Front-end transient suppressor placed upstream of load switch enable and current-limit circuitry. Use Value: Limits voltage across load switch drain-source to <28V during 40A surge, preventing gate oxide damage and avoiding false OVP/UVLO trips caused by TVS voltage rise with temperature. |
| Notebook/Tablet VBUS Line Protection | IoT Edge Device Power Bus Protection |
|
Use Scenario: Securing main battery or adapter input rail in thin-client notebooks and tablets where board space and thermal management are constrained. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-component 22V bus protector replacing multi-device TVS+RC networks, mounted directly at DC jack or USB-C port. Use Value: 1.6mm × 1.6mm footprint saves >60% area vs. SO-8 TVS solutions while delivering identical 40A surge rating and lower clamping voltage drift. |
Use Scenario: Hardening 22V auxiliary power rails in battery-powered IoT edge nodes deployed in uncontrolled environments (e.g., smart agriculture sensors, building automation controllers). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone EOS guard for always-on power domains feeding microcontrollers, radios, and level translators. Use Value: 130–600nA leakage at 22V ensures minimal standby current drain, critical for multi-year battery life in LPWAN deployments. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TDS2211P | Same device - S6HVM5 is Semtech's alternate marking for TDS2211P per official ordering documentation and tape-and-reel labeling (T22 date code prefix). | Identical pinout, specs, and application scope; no functional deviation. | Select S6HVM5 when sourcing from Aetrix Electronics' certified Semtech channel; identical BOM substitution with full traceability. |
| uClamp2411ZA | 24V working voltage, ±30kV ESD, but only 12A (8/20μs) IPP and higher 33V clamping; uses silicon avalanche diode, not FET-shunt architecture. | Limited to CC/SBU lines or low-current 24V rails; unsuitable for 40A VBUS protection due to lower surge rating and voltage rise with temperature. | Choose uClamp2411ZA only for secondary signal-line protection where 22V tolerance and 40A capability are unnecessary. |
Compared with TDS2211P (S6HVM5), uClamp2411ZA offers lower cost and smaller footprint but sacrifices 3.3× lower surge current rating and lacks temperature-stable clamping - making it inappropriate for primary VBUS protection in USB PD or industrial load switch applications.

FAQ
What is the exact product identity and function of S6HVM5?
S6HVM5 is Semtech's orderable marking for the TDS2211P Transient Diverting Suppressor - a 22V working voltage, FET-based shunt protector rated for 40A (8/20μs) surge current and ±30kV ESD. It functions as a primary EOS guard for VBUS lines in USB PD, load switches, and industrial power rails. The S6HVM5 delivers stable 27.5–28V clamping independent of temperature or current magnitude.
Does S6HVM5 require external bias or control signals to operate?
No, S6HVM5 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. The device activates automatically when transient voltage exceeds its internal breakdown threshold (~25V), turning on the shunt path to ground. This autonomous operation makes S6HVM5 ideal for always-on protection in USB PD and IoT power domains.
What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance of S6HVM5?
Place S6HVM5 within 3mm of the protected connector (e.g., USB-C receptacle). Connect all three GND pins (1, 2, 3) to a solid ground plane using ≥3 vias each; route all three IN pins (4, 5, 6) via a single short, wide trace to the protected line. Avoid stubs or splits - symmetric routing ensures balanced current sharing and preserves the full 40A rating. Thermal relief is unnecessary; the device dissipates energy internally, not through a thermal pad.
How does S6HVM5 compare to standard TVS diodes in clamping behavior?
Unlike standard TVS diodes whose clamping voltage rises linearly with peak pulse current (VC = VBR + IPP × RDYN), S6HVM5 maintains near-constant clamping (27.5–28V) from 1A to 40A due to its FET-based architecture and decreasing RDS(on). This eliminates the need to overspecify IPP to meet voltage thresholds - a key advantage in USB PD designs where controller damage thresholds are tight and ambient temperatures vary widely.
Is S6HVM5 compatible with automated SMT assembly and reflow processes?
Yes, S6HVM5 uses a standard DFN-6 package with lead-free finish and complies with IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1. It supports standard Pb-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C, 20–40 sec above 217°C) and is supplied in 7-inch tape-and-reel format (3,000 units/reel) with industry-standard sprocket hole pitch and cover tape specifications - fully compatible with high-volume pick-and-place and reflow lines.
