Product details
Overview
SC431LCSK-2TRT 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, 20mΩ dynamic resistance, and 175pF junction capacitance. It protects USB PD and Type-C VBus lines in industrial and portable equipment.
For engineers reviewing the SC431LCSK-2TRT datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping stability across temperature and current, low dynamic resistance for consistent voltage limiting, DFN-6 package integration with high-current PCB layout requirements, and compatibility with load switch input protection schemes.
Technical Context
The SC431LCSK-2TRT 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-from 24A to 40A and across −40°C to +125°C due to decreasing RDS(on) under surge conditions.
It operates with a 22V reverse stand-off voltage (VRWM) and 25–27.9V breakdown (VBR), supports unsymmetrical line surge testing per IEC 61000-4-5 (±1kV, 1.2/50μs), and delivers 1120W peak pulse power. Its 175pF capacitance at 22V/1MHz and 130–600nA leakage ensure minimal signal distortion on DC power rails.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage | 22V reverse stand-off (VRWM): ensures continuous operation up to rated bus voltage without leakage or conduction. |
| Clamping Voltage | 27.5–28V at 40A (8/20μs): maintains safe overvoltage margin below typical 24–30V load switch or PD controller damage thresholds. |
| Peak Pulse Current | 40A (8/20μs): meets IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surge immunity for industrial and USB PD applications. |
| Dynamic Resistance | 20mΩ: enables flat clamping response and minimizes voltage rise under increasing surge current. |
| Junction Capacitance | 175pF at 22V/1MHz: low enough to avoid degrading power rail stability or causing oscillation in regulated supplies. |
| ESD Withstand | ±30kV contact & air (IEC 61000-4-2): exceeds Level 4 human-body model requirements for robust field reliability. |
| EFT Immunity | ±4kV (5/50ns, 100kHz/5kHz, IEC 61000-4-4): sustains repeated fast transients without degradation or latch-up. |
Pinout & Package
SC431LCSK-2TRT is housed in a RoHS-compliant DFN-6 package measuring 1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.55mm with exposed thermal pad not required. All six terminals are electrically active: pins 1–3 serve as common ground return paths, while pins 4–6 form a parallel-connected input node for the protected line.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pins 1, 2, 3 | GND | Low-inductance ground return for surge current; all three must be connected to maximize 40A capability and minimize parasitic impedance. |
| Pins 4, 5, 6 | IN | Parallel-connected input node for protected bus (e.g., USB PD VBus); shared connection ensures uniform current sharing and thermal distribution. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| FET-based transient shunting | Replaces conventional TVS diodes with active clamping: achieves near-constant voltage regulation independent of surge amplitude or temperature. |
| Stable clamping over temperature | Clamps at 27.5–28V from −40°C to +125°C-no derating needed for high-ambient industrial or automotive under-hood environments. |
| High-energy surge handling | 1120W peak pulse power rating enables compliance with IEC 61000-4-5 surge standards without external series impedance or derating. |
| Low dynamic resistance | 20mΩ RDYN ensures <1V additional drop beyond trigger voltage across full 1–40A surge range, preserving system-level voltage margins. |
| Compact DFN-6 footprint | 1.6mm × 1.6mm area saves >50% board space vs. SO-8 or SOT-23 alternatives while supporting high-current PCB routing via multiple GND vias. |
Applications
| USB Power Delivery Bus Protection | Industrial Load Switch Input Protection |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protecting 20–22V USB PD VBus lines against lightning-induced surges, connector hot-plug transients, and ESD events during field use. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Transient diverting suppressor placed directly at Type-C connector, clamping overvoltage before it reaches PD controller or buck converter. Use Value: Maintains 27.5–28V clamping across 40A and −40°C to +125°C-ensuring consistent protection margin where standard TVS devices exceed 35V at elevated temperature. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding input terminals of industrial-grade load switches (e.g., HS2950P) subjected to 1kV/42Ω surges in remote meters or robotics control units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary front-end protector absorbing energy before it stresses internal FET gate oxide or drain-source junction. Use Value: 20mΩ dynamic resistance limits voltage overshoot to <1V above trigger point, preventing gate overvoltage failure modes common with higher-RDYN TVS solutions. |
| IoT Device Power Rail Protection | Notebook/Tablet DC Input Protection |
|
Use Scenario: Securing 12–24V DC input rails in battery-powered IoT edge nodes exposed to electrostatic discharge during handling or installation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Solid-state EOS suppressor replacing discrete TVS+MOV combinations, enabling single-component, low-profile protection. Use Value: 175pF capacitance avoids destabilizing switching regulators; ±30kV ESD rating eliminates need for secondary ESD stages on main power entry. |
Use Scenario: Protecting 19–20V adapter inputs in ultrabooks and tablets against accidental AC mains coupling or ESD during charging port insertion. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone clamping device on main DC input path, coordinated with system-level OVP and thermal shutdown. Use Value: 1120W peak power rating handles worst-case 8/20μs surges without degradation-supporting long-term reliability in consumer-grade thermal envelopes. |
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 package; SC431LCSK-2TRT is Semtech's alternate ordering code for TDS2211P per official product change notice. | No functional difference; used interchangeably in BOMs and schematics. | Select SC431LCSK-2TRT for tape-and-reel delivery (3,000 pcs/reel, 7″); TDS2211P.C denotes same configuration. |
| uClamp2411ZA | 24V working voltage, lower 20A IPP rating, 12pF capacitance, optimized for CC/SBU lines-not rated for 40A VBus protection. | Designed for low-capacitance data-line protection, not power-rail surge suppression. | Use only for auxiliary USB Type-C signals; insufficient for VBus due to lower surge rating and different clamping behavior. |
Compared with TDS2211P and uClamp2411ZA, SC431LCSK-2TRT provides identical high-energy clamping performance as TDS2211P but with standardized packaging nomenclature, while uClamp2411ZA serves distinct low-capacitance signal-line roles and cannot substitute for 40A VBus protection.

Does SC431LCSK-2TRT meet IEC 61000-4-5 surge immunity requirements?
Yes, SC431LCSK-2TRT is rated for 40A peak pulse current (8/20μs) and ±1kV (1.2/50μs, RS = 42Ω), satisfying IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 for industrial environments. Its 27.5–28V clamping voltage at 40A ensures downstream components remain within safe operating voltage limits during surge events.
How does SC431LCSK-2TRT differ from standard TVS diodes in clamping behavior?
Unlike standard TVS diodes whose clamping voltage rises linearly with current (VC = VBR + IPP × RDYN), SC431LCSK-2TRT uses a triggered FET to maintain ~27.5–28V clamping from 1A to 40A and across −40°C to +125°C-enabling predictable, temperature-insensitive protection for critical power rails.
Can SC431LCSK-2TRT be used for USB Type-C VBus protection alongside RClamp3371ZC?
Yes-SC431LCSK-2TRT is specified for VBus protection in USB Type-C PD systems, while RClamp3371ZC (low-capacitance TVS) protects high-speed SS lanes. Their roles are complementary: SC431LCSK-2TRT handles high-energy surges on the 20–22V power rail; RClamp3371ZC preserves signal integrity on data lines.
What is the maximum operating temperature range for SC431LCSK-2TRT?
