Product details
Overview
SCBA4F from Semtech is a transient diverting suppressor designed for high-energy EOS protection of 22V-rated power or I/O lines, featuring ±30kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity, 40A (8/20μs) peak pulse current handling, 27.5–28V clamping voltage at 40A, and ultra-low 20mΩ dynamic resistance. It protects USB PD and Type-C VBus lines in notebook and industrial equipment.
For engineers reviewing the SCBA4F datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping stability across temperature (−40°C to +125°C), low junction capacitance (175pF @ 22V), DFN 1.6×1.6mm 6-lead package compatibility, and shunt-FET-based protection architecture versus conventional TVS diodes.
Technical Context
The SCBA4F uses a surge-rated FET as its primary protection element, activated by a precision trigger circuit when transient voltage exceeds breakdown threshold. This architecture delivers near-constant clamping voltage independent of peak pulse current magnitude or operating temperature.
Unlike standard TVS diodes whose clamping rises linearly with IPP due to fixed RDYN, the SCBA4F's FET RDS(on) collapses under surge, maintaining VC ≈ VBR (~27.5–28V) from 24A to 40A and across −40°C to +125°C - verified per IEC 61000-4-5 combination wave testing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage | 22V - supports continuous operation on USB PD VBus and industrial 24V rails without leakage or degradation. |
| Clamping Voltage | 27.5–28V at 40A (8/20μs + 1.2/50μs combo wave, RS = 2Ω) - ensures protected ICs (e.g., load switches, PD controllers) remain below damage thresholds. |
| Peak Pulse Current | 40A (tp = 8/20μs) - meets IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surge immunity for industrial and USB PD applications. |
| ESD Withstand | ±30kV contact & air (IEC 61000-4-2) - eliminates need for secondary ESD stages in high-reliability USB Type-C interfaces. |
| Junction Capacitance | 175pF @ 22V, 1MHz - low enough to avoid signal integrity impact on 20V DC power lines while enabling compact layout. |
| Dynamic Resistance | 20mΩ (measured 1A–40A, 8/20μs) - enables stable clamping and minimal IR drop during multi-amp transients. |
Pinout & Package
SCBA4F is housed in a RoHS-compliant DFN 1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.55mm 6-lead package with exposed thermal pad not required (energy dissipated in FET channel). All pins must be connected: GND pins (1–3) and IN pins (4–6) are grouped to maximize surge current sharing and minimize parasitic inductance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | GND | Common ground return path for surge current; all three must be shorted to PCB ground plane via multiple vias to minimize inductance. |
| 4, 5, 6 | IN | Parallel-connected input terminals for protected line (e.g., VBus); full connection ensures rated 40A capability and balanced current sharing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant-clamp architecture | Clamping voltage remains stable (27.5–28V) from 24A to 40A and −40°C to +125°C - eliminates derating uncertainty in thermal design. |
| Shunt-FET protection core | Replaces pn-junction TVS with low-RDS(on) MOSFET triggered by precision circuit - achieves 20mΩ dynamic resistance vs. >1Ω in typical TVS. |
| High-energy surge rating | 1120W peak pulse power (8/20μs) - supports repeated lightning-surge events in industrial and metering applications without degradation. |
| Low-leakage protection | 600nA max reverse leakage at 22V - prevents battery drain or rail droop in always-on IoT and remote sensor systems. |
Applications
| USB Type-C Power Delivery Protection | Industrial Load Switch Input Protection |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protecting 20V–22V VBus lines in USB-C ports supporting up to 100W PD, exposed to ESD and surge in portable and docking station environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary EOS shunt protector placed adjacent to connector, clamping transients before they reach PD controller or load switch. Use Value: Maintains 27.5–28V clamping across temperature and current - avoids overvoltage damage to sensitive 24V-tolerant PD ICs where conventional TVS would exceed 35V at 125°C. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding input of industrial-grade load switches (e.g., HS2950P) in robotics, remote meters, and factory automation equipment subject to lightning-induced surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Front-end transient diverter that limits voltage seen by internal FET gate oxide and drain-source junction during 40A surge events. Use Value: Prevents latch-up or permanent failure of load switch ICs by holding clamping voltage well below their absolute maximum ratings (typically 30–36V). |
| IoT Edge Node Power Bus Protection | Notebook/Tablet DC Power Rail Protection |
|
Use Scenario: Securing 22V auxiliary power rails in battery-backed smart sensors and gateway devices deployed in uncontrolled environments with frequent ESD exposure. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-device solution for combined ESD, EFT (±4kV), and surge (±1kV) immunity on always-on power inputs. Use Value: Eliminates need for multi-stage protection (TVS + MOV + filter), reducing BOM count and board area by >40% versus legacy approaches. |
Use Scenario: Protecting main DC input rails in thin-and-light notebooks and tablets where space constraints limit protection component height and footprint. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Ultra-compact (1.6×1.6mm) transient suppressor mounted directly at barrel jack or USB-C port entry point. Use Value: Enables 0.55mm profile compliance while delivering 40A surge handling - critical for slim form factors where thermal mass is limited. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TDS2211P | Identical electrical specs, pinout, and package; SCBA4F is Semtech's alternate marking for TDS2211P per official ordering documentation. | No functional difference - same use cases, layout, and qualification status. | Select SCBA4F when sourcing through Aetrix Electronics' preferred logistics channel; identical performance and documentation apply. |
| SMAJ22A | Standard unidirectional TVS diode; 33.2V min clamping at 15.7A (8/20μs), no constant-clamp behavior, higher RDYN (~1.2Ω), 38V clamping at 125°C. | Limited to lower-energy transients; unsuitable for sustained 40A surges or high-temp industrial operation. | Only consider SMAJ22A if cost is primary constraint and thermal derating, clamping stability, and 40A rating are not required. |
Compared with TDS2211P (identical part), SCBA4F offers full interchangeability; versus SMAJ22A, SCBA4F delivers 30% lower clamping voltage, 200× lower dynamic resistance, and guaranteed 40A/125°C performance - making it essential for USB PD, industrial load switches, and thermally constrained designs.

FAQ
What is the exact package type and dimensions of SCBA4F?
The SCBA4F is packaged in a DFN (Dual Flat No-lead) case measuring 1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.55mm with 6 leads. Pin 1 is marked by a laser dot; pins 1–3 are GND, pins 4–6 are IN. The package is Pb-free, halogen-free, and RoHS/WEEE compliant with UL 94V-0 molding compound.
Does SCBA4F require a thermal pad or heatsink on the PCB?
No, the SCBA4F does not require a thermal pad or external heatsink. Its shunt-FET architecture dissipates surge energy in the channel rather than the junction, eliminating thermal-pad dependency. Layout best practice is to connect all GND pins (1–3) to a solid ground plane using multiple vias - not a thermal pad.
How does SCBA4F differ from standard TVS diodes like SMAJ22A in clamping behavior?
Unlike SMAJ22A - whose clamping voltage rises linearly with peak current and temperature - the SCBA4F maintains 27.5–28V clamping from 24A to 40A and across −40°C to +125°C due to its low-RDS(on) FET architecture. This eliminates thermal derating and ensures consistent protection margin in real-world conditions.
Can SCBA4F protect both AC and DC lines?
The SCBA4F is specified for DC protection only, with a 22V working voltage (VRWM) and bidirectional ±30kV ESD rating. It is not rated for continuous AC waveform operation or RMS voltage handling; it is intended for DC power rails and unidirectional I/O lines such as USB PD VBus.
Is SCBA4F pin-compatible with other Semtech TDS devices like TDS2411P?
No, SCBA4F (TDS2211P) is not pin-compatible with TDS2411P. While both are 6-pin DFN devices, 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 electrical substitution requires validation due to differing protection profiles.
