Product details
Overview
SC431LISK-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, and 20mΩ dynamic resistance - deployed in USB Type-C PD input protection and industrial load switch front-end circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SC431LISK-2TRT datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping stability across temperature and current, low dynamic resistance for minimal voltage overshoot, DFN-6 package layout compatibility, and compliance with IEC 61000-4-2/4-4/4-5 surge standards.
Technical Context
The SC431LISK-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 due to decreasing RDS(on) under surge conditions.
It operates over –40°C to +125°C with <600nA reverse leakage at 22V, 175pF junction capacitance at 22V/1MHz, and maintains stable clamping across temperature - contrasting sharply with standard TVS devices whose VC rises linearly with IPP and ambient temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage | 22V - defines maximum continuous DC bus voltage it can protect without leakage or conduction. |
| Clamping Voltage | 27.5–28V at 40A (8/20μs + 1.2/50μs combo wave, RS=2Ω) - ensures protected ICs (e.g., USB PD controllers) remain below damage threshold during worst-case surges. |
| Peak Pulse Current | 40A (8/20μs) - supports compliance with IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (±1kV, RS=42Ω, CS=0.5μF) on unsymmetrical lines. |
| ESD Withstand | ±30kV contact & air (IEC 61000-4-2) - eliminates need for secondary ESD stages in USB Type-C and IoT interfaces. |
| Dynamic Resistance | 20mΩ (measured 1A–40A, 8/20μs) - enables low-voltage overshoot and efficient energy diversion without thermal runaway. |
| Junction Capacitance | 175pF at 22V, 1MHz - compatible with 20V USB PD bus lines where excessive capacitance would distort signaling or cause inrush issues. |
Pinout & Package
SC431LISK-2TRT is housed in a RoHS-compliant DFN-6 package measuring 1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.55mm with exposed thermal pad (no internal thermal pad required; energy dissipated in silicon). All six terminals are functional: three GND pins (1, 2, 3) and three IN pins (4, 5, 6) must be connected in parallel for full 40A rating and minimal parasitic inductance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | GND | Low-inductance ground return path; all three must be vias-connected to inner ground plane for rated surge handling. |
| 4, 5, 6 | IN | High-current surge input node; tied together to protected bus (e.g., VBus in USB-C); placement within 3mm of connector critical for ESD performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant-clamp architecture | Clamping voltage varies ≤0.5V from 24A to 40A - eliminates derating for temperature or current, simplifying margin analysis. |
| FET-based shunt topology | Replaces avalanche diode junction with low-RDS(on) MOSFET - reduces thermal stress and enables repeatable surge survival beyond 1000 events. |
| Ultra-low dynamic resistance | 20mΩ ensures <0.8V additional overshoot at 40A - critical for protecting 24V-tolerant but 30V-max ICs like HS2950P load switches. |
| Wide operating temperature range | Stable clamping from –40°C to +125°C - avoids design compromises in industrial or automotive under-hood environments. |
Applications
| USB Type-C Power Delivery Protection | Industrial Load Switch Input 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.C | Identical electrical specs, same DFN-6 package, identical marking (T22XX), and shared Semtech datasheet - confirmed pin-to-pin and functionally equivalent. | No difference; used interchangeably in USB-C and industrial designs per Semtech ordering documentation. | Select TDS2211P.C if requiring direct Semtech factory traceability or specific reel-size logistics (3,000 pcs/reel). |
| SP1003-02HTG | Lower 30A IPP rating, higher 33V clamping at 30A, 350pF capacitance - lacks constant-clamp FET architecture and exhibits >2V VC rise from 10A to 30A. | Suitable only for lower-energy 22V systems where 33V clamping is acceptable and layout allows larger footprint (SOD-323). | Choose SP1003-02HTG only if cost sensitivity outweighs clamping stability and board space constraints. |
Compared with SC431LISK-2TRT, TDS2211P.C offers identical protection performance and drop-in compatibility, while SP1003-02HTG trades clamping precision and surge capacity for lower unit cost and wider vendor availability - making SC431LISK-2TRT optimal for thermally constrained, high-reliability 22V bus protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous operating voltage for SC431LISK-2TRT?
The SC431LISK-2TRT has a reverse stand-off voltage (VRWM) of 22V, meaning it reliably blocks up to 22V DC or RMS AC without significant leakage (<600nA). This makes SC431LISK-2TRT appropriate for 20V USB PD bus lines and other 22V-rated industrial power rails where sustained overvoltage must be avoided.
Does SC431LISK-2TRT require a thermal pad on the PCB?
No - SC431LISK-2TRT dissipates surge energy within its silicon die rather than relying on thermal conduction through an exposed pad. The DFN-6 package uses standard solder land pattern per Semtech's recommended footprint; no thermal via array or copper pour beneath the device is needed for surge reliability, though grounding all three GND pins with multiple vias is mandatory for 40A performance.
How does SC431LISK-2TRT 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), SC431LISK-2TRT uses a triggered FET to maintain near-constant clamping (27.5–28V) from 24A to 40A. This eliminates current-dependent voltage overshoot and removes temperature-induced VC drift - a key advantage verified in SC431LISK-2TRT's -40°C to +125°C clamping curves.
Can SC431LISK-2TRT be used on high-speed data lines like USB SS or PCIe?
No - SC431LISK-2TRT has 175pF junction capacitance, which would severely degrade signal integrity on SuperSpeed (5–20 Gbps) or PCIe lanes. It is intended exclusively for power or low-speed control lines (e.g., VBus, CC, SBU, enable inputs). For data-line protection, Semtech recommends low-capacitance devices like RClamp3371ZC (<0.25pF) alongside SC431LISK-2TRT in full USB-C solutions.
Is SC431LISK-2TRT compliant with RoHS and halogen-free standards?
Yes - SC431LISK-2TRT is Pb-free, halogen-free, and fully compliant with RoHS and WEEE directives. Its molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and lead finish is matte tin, consistent with Semtech's environmental specifications documented in the TDS2211P datasheet applicable to SC431LISK-2TRT.
