Product details
Overview
SC2599ULTRC from Semtech is a Transient Diverting Suppressor (TDS) designed for high-energy EOS protection of 22V-rated power or I/O lines, featuring ±30kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity, 40A peak pulse current (8/20μs), 27.5–28V clamping voltage at 40A, and ultra-low 20mΩ dynamic resistance. It protects USB PD, USB Type-C VBus, and load switch inputs in industrial and portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SC2599ULTRC datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping stability across temperature and current, low capacitance (175pF), DFN 1.6×1.6mm package footprint, and FET-based shunt architecture enabling constant-voltage suppression unlike conventional TVS diodes.
Technical Context
The SC2599ULTRC implements a precision-triggered surge-rated FET as its primary protection element, activated by an internal voltage-sensing circuit when transient voltage exceeds breakdown threshold. This architecture delivers near-constant clamping voltage independent of peak pulse current magnitude.
Unlike standard TVS diodes whose clamping voltage rises linearly with IPP due to fixed dynamic resistance, SC2599ULTRC maintains clamping within 27.5–28V from 24A to 40A (1.2/50μs + 8/20μs combination waveform, RS = 2Ω), and holds stable from −40°C to +125°C - critical for USB PD and industrial bus protection where thermal derating compromises traditional solutions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage | 22V - supports nominal USB PD 20V bus with 2V margin before clamping activation. |
| Clamping Voltage | 27.5–28V at 40A (8/20μs + 1.2/50μs combo wave) - stays below typical 30V damage threshold of USB PD controllers and load switches. |
| Peak Pulse Current | 40A (tp = 8/20μs) - meets IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surge immunity for industrial equipment and USB PD interfaces. |
| ESD Withstand | ±30kV contact & air (IEC 61000-4-2) - exceeds automotive and industrial ESD requirements without external staging. |
| Dynamic Resistance | 20mΩ - enables low-voltage drop during conduction, minimizing energy dissipation in the device and reducing thermal stress. |
| Junction Capacitance | 175pF @ 22V, 1MHz - compatible with DC-coupled 22V power rails; not intended for high-speed data lines. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C - fully specified performance across full industrial temperature range without derating. |
Pinout & Package
SC2599ULTRC is housed in a Pb-free, RoHS-compliant DFN package measuring 1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.55mm with 6 leads and UL 94V-0 molding compound. All pins require connection for rated surge performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | GND | Common ground return path for surge current; all three must be connected with low-inductance vias to maximize 40A capability. |
| 4, 5, 6 | IN | Protected line input (e.g., USB PD VBus); parallel connection ensures uniform current sharing and minimizes trace inductance impact. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| FET-based shunt architecture | Replaces conventional TVS junctions with low-Rds(on) MOSFET, enabling flat clamping vs. current and temperature. |
| Constant clamping voltage | 27.5–28V over full 24–40A range and −40°C to +125°C - eliminates need for thermal derating margins in layout. |
| High EFT immunity | ±4kV per IEC 61000-4-4 (5/50ns, 5kHz & 100kHz) - protects against repetitive fast transients in motor drives and industrial comms. |
| Low leakage | 130–600nA @ 22V - negligible standby power loss in battery-powered IoT and portable devices. |
| Space-efficient packaging | 1.6×1.6mm DFN footprint - saves >50% board area versus SO-8 or SOT-23 TVS alternatives rated for same surge energy. |
Applications
| USB Type-C Power Delivery Bus Protection | Industrial Load Switch Input Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 20V USB PD VBus lines from lightning surges, ESD, and EOS events in docking stations and host controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary shunt protector placed directly at Type-C connector, clamping transients before they reach PD controller ICs. Use Value: Maintains 27.5–28V clamping across temperature and current - avoids overvoltage damage to 30V-rated PD controllers even at 125°C ambient. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding enable and input pins of industrial-grade load switches (e.g., HS2950P) against EOS in remote meters and robotics. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Front-end transient suppressor on VIN rail, limiting voltage seen by internal FET gate oxide and overvoltage protection circuitry. Use Value: Prevents latch-up or permanent damage to load switch ICs by holding clamping below 30V - critical where internal OVP thresholds are tight. |
| IoT Device Power Rail Protection | Notebook/Tablet DC Power Input Protection |
Use Scenario: Securing 12–22V DC input rails in battery-backed smart sensors and edge gateways exposed to field ESD and induced surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone EOS suppressor on main power entry point, replacing multi-stage TVS+MOV solutions. Use Value: Single-device solution with 40A rating and 175pF capacitance - eliminates parasitic resonance risks and reduces BOM count. |
Use Scenario: Protecting 19–20V adapter input rails in ultrabooks and tablets against accidental AC line transients and connector hot-plug spikes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: First-line defense on main DC input before PMIC and battery charging circuitry. Use Value: Stable 27.5–28V clamping prevents brownout or reset events caused by TVS voltage rise under surge + high-temp conditions. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TDS2211P.C | Identical electrical specs, same DFN 1.6×1.6mm package, identical marking code T22; differs only in reel quantity (3,000 pcs vs. SC2599ULTRC's unspecified quantity). | Same use cases: USB PD, load switch, industrial 22V rail protection. | Select TDS2211P.C if standard Semtech reel size and traceability are required; SC2599ULTRC may reflect alternate distribution channel or tape specification. |
| SMAJ22A | Standard unidirectional TVS diode; 22V VRWM, 35.5V clamping at 12.5A (8/20μs); no constant-clamp behavior; higher RDYN (~0.5Ω); 100pF capacitance. | Suitable only for lower-energy surges (<12.5A); clamping rises to ~42V at 125°C - insufficient for robust USB PD protection. | Choose SMAJ22A only for cost-sensitive, non-critical 22V rails where thermal derating and high-current surge immunity are not required. |
Compared with TDS2211P.C, SC2599ULTRC offers identical protection performance but may differ in packaging logistics; versus SMAJ22A, SC2599ULTRC delivers 3.2× higher surge rating, 40% lower clamping voltage at rated current, and stable performance across temperature - making it suitable for mission-critical 22V power integrity.

FAQ
What is the primary protection function of the SC2599ULTRC?
The SC2599ULTRC functions as a transient diverting suppressor that shunts high-energy electrical overstress (EOS) events - including ESD, lightning-induced surges, and EFT - away from sensitive downstream components. It uses a precision-triggered FET to achieve near-constant clamping voltage (27.5–28V) at up to 40A, distinguishing it from conventional TVS diodes whose clamping rises with current and temperature. This behavior is fully documented in the SC2599ULTRC datasheet for 22V system protection.
Does the SC2599ULTRC support USB Type-C Power Delivery applications?
Yes, the SC2599ULTRC is explicitly validated for USB Type-C Power Delivery bus protection, supporting nominal 20V operation with 22V working voltage and clamping below 28V at full 40A surge current. Its stable clamping across −40°C to +125°C ensures reliable protection of PD controllers under thermal stress - a key requirement confirmed in Semtech's application notes and the SC2599ULTRC functional diagrams.
What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance of the SC2599ULTRC?
For optimal SC2599ULTRC performance, place the device as close as possible to the protected connector (e.g., USB Type-C port). Connect all three IN pins (4,5,6) via a single low-inductance trace to the protected line, and tie all three GND pins (1,2,3) directly to a solid ground plane using multiple vias. Avoid thermal pads - energy is dissipated internally, and the DFN package does not require additional copper for thermal relief. These guidelines are derived from the SC2599ULTRC layout recommendations in the official datasheet.
How does the SC2599ULTRC compare to standard TVS diodes in clamping behavior?
Unlike standard TVS diodes - whose clamping voltage increases linearly with peak pulse current (VC = VBR + IPP × RDYN) and rises significantly with temperature - the SC2599ULTRC maintains clamping between 27.5V and 28V from 24A to 40A and across −40°C to +125°C. This is achieved via its FET-based shunt architecture, which reduces effective Rds(on) under surge, delivering flat clamping. This difference is quantified in the SC2599ULTRC's electrical characteristics table and clamping vs. temperature graphs.
Is the SC2599ULTRC RoHS compliant and halogen free?
Yes, the SC2599ULTRC is Pb-free, halogen-free, and compliant with RoHS and WEEE directives. Its DFN package uses UL 94V-0 rated molding compound and lead-free terminal finish, as confirmed in the mechanical characteristics section of the SC2599ULTRC datasheet. Marking includes "T22" code and date code, with dot indicating Pin 1 location.
