Product details
Overview
SC4503TSKTRT 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. It protects USB PD, Type-C VBus, and load switch inputs in industrial and portable electronics.
For engineers reviewing the SC4503TSKTRT datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical specs, DFN-6 package layout guidance, clamping stability across temperature and current, and real-world use cases in USB Type-C and load switch input protection.
Technical Context
The SC4503TSKTRT uses a surge-rated FET as its primary protection element, activated by a precision trigger circuit that senses overvoltage events. 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 reverse stand-off voltage (VRWM) of 22V, breakdown voltage (VBR) of 25–27.9V, and ultra-low junction capacitance of 175pF at 22V/1MHz. Its 6-pin DFN (1.6×1.6×0.55mm) integrates three parallel input terminals (Pins 4–6) and three ground terminals (Pins 1–3) to minimize parasitic inductance and maximize surge current handling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage | 22V - defines maximum continuous DC operating voltage on protected line without leakage or conduction. |
| Clamping Voltage | 27.5–28V at 40A (8/20μs + 1.2/50μs combo wave, RS=2Ω) - ensures downstream ICs (e.g., USB PD controllers) remain below damage threshold during surge. |
| Peak Pulse Current | 40A (8/20μs) - meets IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 industrial surge immunity requirements for 22V systems. |
| ESD Withstand | ±30kV contact & air (IEC 61000-4-2) - exceeds automotive and industrial ESD robustness standards for connector-facing protection. |
| Dynamic Resistance | 20mΩ (measured 1–40A, 8/20μs) - enables flat clamping curve and low voltage overshoot during fast-rising transients. |
| Junction Capacitance | 175pF at 22V/1MHz - compatible with 22V bus protection without signal integrity degradation on moderate-speed lines. |
Pinout & Package
SC4503TSKTRT is housed in a Pb-free, RoHS-compliant DFN-6 package measuring 1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.55mm with exposed thermal pad not required (energy dissipated in silicon). All six terminals must be connected per functional role to achieve rated surge performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pins 1, 2, 3 | GND | Low-inductance ground return path; all three must be soldered to solid ground plane with multiple vias for 40A surge current routing. |
| Pins 4, 5, 6 | IN | Parallel-connected input terminals for protected line (e.g., VBus); shared connection minimizes trace inductance and equalizes current sharing during transient. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant-clamp architecture | Clamping voltage varies <0.5V from 24A to 40A and remains stable across –40°C to +125°C - eliminates derating uncertainty in thermal designs. |
| Surge-rated FET protection | Replaces traditional TVS diodes with active shunt switching - achieves lower clamping than passive devices at same working voltage. |
| High-energy EOS handling | 1120W peak pulse power (8/20μs) - supports repeated surge events in industrial equipment and USB PD applications. |
| Low-leakage operation | 600nA max reverse leakage at 22V - prevents battery drain or bias shift in always-on 22V systems like remote meters and IoT sensors. |
Applications
| USB Type-C Power Delivery Bus Protection | Industrial Load Switch Input Protection |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protecting the VBus line of a USB Type-C port supporting up to 20V/5A PD negotiation against lightning-induced surges and connector ESD. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Transient Diverting Suppressor placed directly at the connector, clamping transients before they reach the PD controller or e-fuse. Use Value: Maintains 27.5–28V clamping across full 40A surge range and temperature extremes - avoids overvoltage damage to sensitive PD ICs where traditional TVS would exceed 35V at 125°C. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding the input of an industrial-grade load switch (e.g., HS2950P) powering remote sensors or actuators in metering or robotics systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary front-end EOS protector absorbing 8/20μs surges from long cables or inductive loads before reaching the switch's internal FET. Use Value: Limits clamping voltage to ≤28V - well below typical 30V+ absolute maximum rating of load switch inputs - preventing gate oxide damage and ensuring long-term reliability. |
| IoT Edge Device Power Rail Protection | Storage Device 22V Backup Supply Protection |
|
Use Scenario: Securing the 22V auxiliary power rail of a battery-backed smart gateway exposed to field ESD and conducted surges via PoE or external adapters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Solid-state shunt suppressor providing low-capacitance, low-leakage protection without compromising standby current or signal integrity. Use Value: 175pF capacitance and <600nA leakage at 22V enable compatibility with always-on monitoring circuits while meeting IEC 61000-4-4 (±4kV EFT) and -4-5 requirements. |
Use Scenario: Protecting the 22V backup supply input of an enterprise SSD or NAS controller board against power-rail transients during hot-swap or AC line disturbances. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-power transient suppressor placed at board edge to divert energy away from PMICs, flash controllers, and DRAM power domains. Use Value: 40A surge rating and 1120W peak power capability ensure survivability of multi-event surge stress common in datacenter power environments. |
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 die, same DFN-6 package, identical electrical specs - direct Semtech-recommended replacement with identical marking (T22) and reel packaging. | No functional difference; used interchangeably in USB PD and industrial designs per Semtech documentation. | Select TDS2211P.C when sourcing from authorized Semtech channels with standard tape-and-reel logistics. |
| uClamp2411ZA | 24V working voltage, ±30kV ESD, but lower 20A IPP and higher 33V clamping at 20A - uses silicon avalanche structure, not FET-based clamping. | Better suited for CC/SBU lines in USB Type-C; insufficient for 22V VBus due to higher clamping and lower surge rating. | Use uClamp2411ZA only for auxiliary low-current lines - not a functional substitute for SC4503TSKTRT on main power rails. |
Compared with TDS2211P.C (identical spec) and uClamp2411ZA (lower IPP, higher clamping), SC4503TSKTRT delivers unique constant-voltage clamping at 40A for 22V systems - making it irreplaceable for high-reliability VBus and load switch protection where thermal stability and surge margin are critical.

FAQ
What is the exact package type and dimensions of SC4503TSKTRT?
SC4503TSKTRT uses a 6-pin DFN package measuring 1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.55mm with no exposed thermal pad. Pins 1–3 are GND; Pins 4–6 are IN. Land pattern follows Semtech's recommended footprint with 0.30mm pitch and 0.50mm pad width per terminal - critical for achieving full 40A surge rating.
Does SC4503TSKTRT meet IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surge immunity?
Yes, SC4503TSKTRT is rated for 40A peak pulse current (8/20μs) and ±1kV combination wave (1.2/50μs voltage, 8/20μs current, RS=42Ω), satisfying IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 for 22V systems. Its 27.5–28V clamping ensures protected ICs stay within safe operating limits during test-level surges.
How does SC4503TSKTRT differ from standard TVS diodes in clamping behavior?
Unlike standard TVS diodes whose clamping voltage rises linearly with current (VC = VBR + IPP × RDYN), SC4503TSKTRT uses a triggered FET to maintain near-constant clamping - 27.5–28V from 24A to 40A and across –40°C to +125°C - eliminating thermal derating and enabling predictable protection design.
Can SC4503TSKTRT be used on USB Type-C superspeed differential pairs?
No, SC4503TSKTRT is not suitable for USB SS TX/RX lines due to its 175pF capacitance, which would distort high-speed signals. It is intended exclusively for VBus, CC, SBU, or power-rail protection. For superspeed lines, Semtech recommends RClamp3371ZC (<0.25pF) instead of SC4503TSKTRT.
What is the maximum operating temperature range for SC4503TSKTRT?
SC4503TSKTRT is specified for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature, with junction temperature rated up to +150°C. Its clamping voltage remains stable across this full range - a key advantage over TVS diodes whose VC increases significantly above 85°C.
