Product details
Overview
SCF7500 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 24–40A, and 20mΩ dynamic resistance. It protects USB PD and Type-C VBus lines in industrial and portable equipment.
For engineers reviewing the SCF7500 datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, DFN-6 package layout guidance, real-world USB Type-C and load switch protection use cases, and two validated alternative suppressors with documented functional trade-offs.
Technical Context
The SCF7500 uses a surge-rated FET as its primary protection element, activated by a precision trigger circuit that senses overvoltage events and rapidly shunts transient current to ground. Its clamping voltage remains nearly constant across 24–40A (8/20μs) due to the FET's low RDS(on) and negative dynamic resistance slope.
Unlike conventional TVS diodes, SCF7500 maintains stable clamping (27.5–28V) from −40°C to +125°C and exhibits only 175pF junction capacitance at 22V - critical for minimizing signal distortion on high-speed power buses like USB PD.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage | 22V - matches nominal USB PD VBus and industrial 24V rail systems without derating. |
| Clamping Voltage | 27.5–28V at 40A (8/20μs) - stays below 30V damage threshold of common load switches and PD controllers. |
| Peak Pulse Current | 40A (8/20μs) - satisfies IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surge immunity for industrial equipment. |
| ESD Withstand | ±30kV contact/air (IEC 61000-4-2) - exceeds automotive and consumer ESD requirements. |
| Junction Capacitance | 175pF at 22V, 1MHz - low enough to avoid disrupting USB PD communication timing on VBus. |
| Dynamic Resistance | 20mΩ - enables flat clamping response and minimizes voltage overshoot during fast transients. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - supports operation in harsh environments including industrial motor drives and outdoor IoT gateways. |
Pinout & Package
SCF7500 is housed in a RoHS-compliant DFN-6 package measuring 1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.55mm with exposed thermal pad not required - energy is dissipated via the FET channel, not junction heating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pins 1, 2, 3 | GND | Common ground return path for surge current; all three must be connected to maximize 40A capability and minimize parasitic inductance. |
| Pins 4, 5, 6 | IN | Protected line input (e.g., USB PD VBus); parallel connection ensures uniform current sharing and optimal clamping performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant-clamp architecture | Clamping voltage varies ≤0.5V across full 24–40A range - eliminates need for oversized margining in PD controller protection. |
| Temperature-stable clamping | 27.5–28V clamping maintained from −40°C to +125°C - removes thermal derating calculations required for standard TVS diodes. |
| Low dynamic resistance | 20mΩ enables <10ns response to EOS events and reduces voltage overshoot during sub-microsecond surges. |
| High-energy surge handling | 1120W peak pulse power rating supports repeated 40A surges without degradation - suitable for field-deployed industrial interfaces. |
| DFN-6 footprint | 1.6mm × 1.6mm area saves >60% board space vs. SO-8 TVS solutions while maintaining robust thermal and electrical performance. |
Applications
| USB Type-C Power Delivery 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 Type-C receptacle, clamping transients before they reach the PD controller and buck-boost IC. Use Value: Maintains 27.5V clamping at 40A and 125°C - prevents latch-up or gate oxide damage in PD controllers rated for ≤30V absolute maximum. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding the input of an industrial-grade load switch (e.g., HS2950P) powering sensors or actuators in remote metering or robotics systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary front-end EOS protector on the VIN rail, absorbing 1.2/50μs + 8/20μs combination wave surges per IEC 61000-4-5. Use Value: Limits voltage seen by the load switch's internal FET to <28V - avoids breakdown of 30V-rated silicon and preserves OVP/UVLO functionality during surge events. |
| IoT Gateway DC Power Input Protection | Storage Device 24V Rail Protection |
Use Scenario: Securing the 22V DC input of an outdoor IoT gateway powered via PoE++ or external adapter against induced surges from nearby lightning strikes. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone transient suppressor on the main DC input, upstream of DC-DC converters and battery management ICs. Use Value: Delivers 40A surge current handling with <175pF capacitance - avoids interference with upstream power supply feedback loops or telemetry signal integrity. |
Use Scenario: Protecting the 22V auxiliary rail of an NVMe SSD enclosure or enterprise HDD backplane against hot-plug transients and ESD during maintenance. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bus-level clamp on shared 22V power distribution net, coordinated with local TVS devices on data lanes. Use Value: Provides consistent 27.5V clamping across temperature - ensures reliable operation even inside thermally constrained storage enclosures operating at 85°C ambient. |
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, same DFN-6 package, identical marking code T22 - confirmed drop-in replacement per Semtech documentation. | Same USB PD, load switch, and industrial 22V rail use cases; validated in Semtech reference designs. | Select when requiring direct Semtech-sourced production continuity or dual-sourcing from same fab. |
| SP1003-02HTG | Lower 30A IPP rating, higher 33V clamping at 30A, 22pF capacitance - based on polymer-based TVS architecture, not FET-based. | Suitable for lower-energy 22V applications where 40A surge immunity is not mandated; less effective at high temperature. | Choose for cost-sensitive designs with relaxed surge requirements and where ultra-low capacitance (<25pF) is prioritized over clamping stability. |
Compared with SCF7500, TDS2211P offers identical performance and fit, while SP1003-02HTG trades clamping stability and surge rating for lower capacitance and cost - making SCF7500 optimal for mission-critical 22V bus protection where thermal consistency and 40A compliance are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the exact package type and dimensions of the SCF7500?
The SCF7500 uses a 6-pin DFN package measuring 1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.55mm with no thermal pad required. Pins 1–3 are GND; pins 4–6 are IN. All six terminals must be soldered per Semtech layout guidelines to achieve full 40A surge rating and minimal parasitic inductance.
Does the SCF7500 meet IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surge immunity?
Yes - the SCF7500 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 ensures protected ICs remain within safe operating voltage limits during full-spectrum surge testing.
How does the SCF7500 differ from standard TVS diodes in clamping behavior?
Unlike standard TVS diodes whose clamping voltage rises linearly with current (VC = VBR + IPP × RDYN), the SCF7500 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 tighter system voltage margins.
Can the SCF7500 be used to protect USB Type-C CC lines?
No - the SCF7500 is rated for 22V working voltage and intended for VBus or power-line protection. For CC/SBU lines, Semtech recommends uClamp2411ZA (24V, low-capacitance TVS). Using SCF7500 on CC lines would risk damage due to its higher capacitance (175pF) and inappropriate voltage threshold.
Is the SCF7500 pin-compatible with TDS2211P?
Yes - SCF7500 and TDS2211P share identical DFN-6 pinout (pins 1–3 = GND, pins 4–6 = IN), mechanical dimensions, marking code (T22), and full electrical specifications. Semtech documentation confirms them as functionally and physically interchangeable in all supported applications.
