Product details
Overview
SC220STRT from Semtech is a transient diverting suppressor designed for high-energy EOS protection on 22V-rated power or I/O lines, featuring ±30kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity, 40A peak pulse current (8/20μs), and stable 27.5–28V clamping across temperature and current range. It protects USB Type-C power delivery buses, load switch inputs, and industrial interfaces where low, flat clamping voltage is critical to avoid controller damage.
For engineers reviewing the SC220STRT datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping voltage stability over 40A surge current, DFN-6 thermal and layout performance, 175pF junction capacitance at 22V, and compatibility with 22V working voltage systems requiring robust EOS resilience in compact form factors.
Technical Context
The SC220STRT 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-27.5–28V-across 24A to 40A peak pulse currents due to decreasing RDS(on) under surge conditions.
It operates from −40°C to +125°C with <20mΩ dynamic resistance (measured 1A–40A, 8/20μs), 130–600nA reverse leakage at 22V, and 175pF capacitance at 1MHz/22V. Its functional architecture enables reliable protection of USB PD, load switches, and industrial power rails without thermal derating penalties.
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 (8/20μs) - Remains stable across temperature and current, preventing downstream IC overvoltage. |
| Peak Pulse Current | 40A (8/20μs) - Meets IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surge immunity for industrial equipment. |
| ESD Withstand | ±30kV contact & air (IEC 61000-4-2) - Eliminates need for secondary ESD stages in USB Type-C connectors. |
| Junction Capacitance | 175pF at 22V/1MHz - Low enough for 22V power line protection without signal integrity impact. |
| Dynamic Resistance | 20mΩ - Enables low-voltage drop during surge conduction, minimizing power dissipation in FET channel. |
Pinout & Package
SC220STRT is housed in a RoHS-compliant DFN-6 package (1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.55mm) with exposed thermal pad not required-energy is dissipated in the silicon FET structure. 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; all three pins must be connected to minimize inductance and maximize surge current handling. |
| 4, 5, 6 | IN | Protected line input; tied together to distribute surge current across parallel paths and reduce trace inductance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| FET-based transient diversion | Replaces traditional TVS with active shunt switching-clamping voltage stays flat vs. current/temperature instead of rising linearly. |
| Stable clamping across temperature | 27.5–28V clamping maintained from −40°C to +125°C-enables reliable protection in uncontrolled industrial environments. |
| High-energy surge capability | 1120W peak pulse power (8/20μs) supports repeated lightning-surge events without degradation. |
| Low dynamic resistance | 20mΩ ensures minimal IR drop during 40A transients-reduces localized heating and improves reliability. |
| Compact DFN-6 footprint | 1.6mm × 1.6mm area saves >50% board space vs. SOT-23 or SOIC alternatives while maintaining full surge rating. |
Applications

Use Scenario: Shielding 22V backup or auxiliary supplies in NVMe SSD enclosures and enterprise storage controllers from hot-plug transients and ESD. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone clamping device on VCC_AUX or VBAT lines, coordinated with low-capacitance TVS on high-speed lanes. Use Value: 175pF capacitance avoids resonance or signal distortion on adjacent PCIe or SATA traces while providing full 22V system-level protection. |
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 die, identical electrical specs and pinout-SC220STRT is Semtech's alternate marking for TDS2211P per official ordering documentation. | No functional difference; used interchangeably in BOMs and layouts. | Select SC220STRT when sourcing from Aetrix Electronics-identical performance, same DFN-6 package, full traceability to Semtech Rev 2.5 datasheet. |
| uClamp2411ZA | 24V working voltage, lower 24A IPP rating, higher 33V clamping, smaller 0.65mm × 0.65mm DFN-2 package. | Better suited for CC/SBU lines in USB-C; insufficient for 22V power rail surge due to lower IPP and higher VC. | Use only for auxiliary signal lines-not a direct replacement for SC220STRT on VBUS or load switch inputs. |
Compared with TDS2211P (identical part), SC220STRT offers identical surge performance and layout compatibility; versus uClamp2411ZA, SC220STRT provides 67% higher peak current rating and 21% lower clamping voltage-critical for protecting 22V power domains where margin is constrained.

FAQ
What is the exact package type and dimensions of SC220STRT?
SC220STRT uses a 6-pin DFN package measuring 1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.55mm with no thermal pad required. Pins 1–3 are GND; pins 4–6 are IN. The land pattern follows Semtech's recommended layout with multiple vias to ground plane and direct trace routing from connector to device-critical to achieve full 40A surge rating. SC220STRT's compact size enables placement directly at USB-C or industrial connector entry points.
How does SC220STRT differ from standard TVS diodes in clamping behavior?
Unlike standard TVS diodes whose clamping voltage rises linearly with peak pulse current (VC = VBR + IPP × RDYN), SC220STRT maintains a near-constant 27.5–28V clamping voltage from 24A to 40A due to its FET-based architecture and decreasing RDS(on). This eliminates design uncertainty caused by temperature-induced clamping drift-SC220STRT delivers consistent protection across −40°C to +125°C without derating.
Can SC220STRT be used to protect USB Type-C VBUS lines operating at 20V PD?
Yes-SC220STRT is explicitly validated for USB Type-C power delivery protection in Semtech's application notes. With a 22V working voltage and 27.5–28V clamping at 40A, it safely limits transients below the 30V damage threshold of common PD controllers. Its ±30kV ESD rating also satisfies IEC 61000-4-2 requirements for connector-level immunity without additional staging.
What is the junction capacitance of SC220STRT and how does it affect circuit design?
SC220STRT exhibits 175pF junction capacitance at 22V and 1MHz. This value is optimized for 22V power-line protection-low enough to avoid resonance or filtering effects on adjacent high-speed signals (e.g., USB SS, PCIe), yet high enough to ensure robust surge energy absorption. Layout best practice is to isolate SC220STRT from sensitive RF or data traces by ≥2mm clearance and ground guard rings.
Is SC220STRT pin-compatible with other Semtech TDS devices like TDS2411P?
No-SC220STRT (TDS2211P) is not pin-compatible with TDS2411P. While both use 6-pin DFN packages, TDS2411P has different voltage ratings (24V VRWM), clamping (30V), and internal trigger thresholds. Pin mapping is identical (GND on 1–3, IN on 4–6), but substituting SC220STRT for TDS2411P risks under-clamping on 24V systems, and vice versa may fail to trigger reliably on 22V rails. Always verify working voltage match before substitution.
