Product details
Overview
SDC36C.TCT from Semtech is a transient diverting suppressor designed for high-energy EOS/ESD 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 Type-C power delivery buses, load switch inputs, and industrial I/O interfaces where stable clamping under temperature and current stress is critical.
For engineers reviewing the SDC36C.TCT datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this device offers a FET-based shunt architecture with near-constant clamping across –40°C to +125°C and 1–40A surge currents-enabling robust protection design without thermal derating or over-spec'ing IPP.
Technical Context
The SDC36C.TCT uses a precision-triggered surge-rated MOSFET as its primary protection element, activated by an internal reference circuit when transient voltage exceeds breakdown. Unlike conventional TVS diodes, its clamping voltage remains stable because the FET's RDS(on) collapses under surge, minimizing VC = VBR + IPP × RDYN dependency.
It operates in a symmetrical 6-pin DFN (1.6 × 1.6 × 0.55 mm) with three dedicated IN pins (4–6) and three GND pins (1–3), requiring all six terminals to be connected for full 40A rating and minimal parasitic inductance. Its 175pF junction capacitance at 22V enables use on moderate-speed power/data lines without signal integrity compromise.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage | 22 V - Matches nominal USB PD bus and industrial 24V rail systems without derating. |
| Clamping Voltage | 27.5–28 V at 40A (8/20μs) - Remains stable across temperature and current, enabling predictable downstream IC protection. |
| Peak Pulse Current | 40 A (8/20μs) - Meets IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surge immunity for industrial equipment and USB PD endpoints. |
| ESD Withstand | ±30 kV contact & air (IEC 61000-4-2) - Exceeds automotive and industrial ESD requirements without external staging. |
| Dynamic Resistance | 20 mΩ - Enables low-voltage overshoot during fast transients, reducing stress on protected FETs and controllers. |
| Junction Capacitance | 175 pF at 22 V, 1 MHz - Compatible with USB Type-C VBUS and load switch enable lines; avoids signal distortion on <100 MHz paths. |
Pinout & Package
SDC36C.TCT is housed in a Pb-free, RoHS-compliant 6-lead DFN package measuring 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm × 0.55 mm with UL 94V-0 molding compound. All six terminals must be soldered: three IN pins share the protected line path, and three GND pins provide low-inductance return to ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | GND | Common ground return path; all three must be connected to minimize ground loop inductance during 40A surges. |
| 4, 5, 6 | IN | Protected input node; tied together externally to VBUS or load switch input; enables parallel current sharing and reduced trace impedance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| FET-based shunt architecture | Replaces traditional TVS with active clamping-clamping voltage stays flat across 1–40A and –40°C to +125°C. |
| Triple-terminal input & ground | Enables distributed current handling and lower effective package inductance vs. single-pin alternatives. |
| Low dynamic resistance (20 mΩ) | Reduces voltage overshoot during sub-100ns ESD events, protecting sensitive gate oxides in load switches and PD controllers. |
| 175 pF junction capacitance | Permits placement directly on VBUS lines without degrading USB PD communication or causing startup instability. |
Applications
| USB Type-C Power Delivery Bus Protection | Industrial Load Switch Input Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 20–22V VBUS lines in USB-C ports supporting up to 100W PD, exposed to ESD, lightning-induced surges, and hot-plug transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary EOS shunt suppressor placed between connector and PD controller/load switch, clamping transients before they reach silicon. Use Value: Maintains 27.5–28V clamping at full 40A and 125°C-prevents overvoltage damage to USB PD controllers that typically tolerate only ≤30V absolute max. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding the input of high-side load switches (e.g., HS2950P) in remote meters, robotics, and IoT hubs operating from 24V rails. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Front-end transient diverter that limits voltage seen by the load switch's internal FET drain, preventing avalanche failure. Use Value: Low 20mΩ RDYN ensures <0.8V additional overshoot at 40A, keeping total clamped voltage well below typical 30–40V FET VDSS ratings. |
| IoT Device Power Rail Protection | Storage Device 22V Backup Supply Protection |
Use Scenario: Securing always-on 22V backup or auxiliary power rails in battery-backed edge sensors and wireless gateways subject to field ESD and induced surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone transient suppressor on main power entry point, coordinated with upstream fusing and downstream LDOs. Use Value: ±30kV ESD rating eliminates need for secondary ESD stages; 175pF capacitance avoids interaction with 10–100μF bulk capacitors on same rail. |
Use Scenario: Protecting 22V NVMe or SSD backup power inputs against surges during hot-swap or power-loss recovery sequences. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-acting clamp on storage controller VCC_AUX line, ensuring clean power-up after transient events. Use Value: Stable clamping prevents false resets or latch-up in flash memory controllers during 1.2/50μs surge events per IEC 61000-4-5. |
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 pinout and marking (T22); differs only in reel packaging (3,000 pcs vs. SDC36C.TCT's unspecified quantity). | Same USB PD, load switch, and industrial I/O use cases; validated in Semtech reference designs for Type-C protection. | Select TDS2211P.C when standard tape-and-reel logistics are required; SDC36C.TCT may reflect alternate distribution channel or custom labeling. |
| uClamp2411ZA | 24V working voltage, lower 20A IPP rating, higher 33V clamping at 20A, and smaller 0.65 × 0.65 mm DFN-2 package-no triple-terminal layout. | Suitable for CC/SBU lines in USB-C, not VBUS; lacks current-sharing capability for high-energy surges. | Choose uClamp2411ZA only for low-capacitance, space-constrained auxiliary lines-not as a direct replacement for SDC36C.TCT on 22V power rails. |
Compared with TDS2211P.C, SDC36C.TCT is functionally identical and interchangeable; compared with uClamp2411ZA, it delivers 2× peak current capacity, 5V lower clamping, and distributed terminal architecture essential for robust 22V bus protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for SDC36C.TCT?
The SDC36C.TCT is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. Its clamping voltage remains stable across this full range due to the FET-based architecture-unlike standard TVS diodes whose VC rises with temperature. This makes SDC36C.TCT especially suitable for under-hood automotive modules and industrial enclosures without thermal derating.
Does SDC36C.TCT require external bias or control signals to operate?
No, the SDC36C.TCT is fully passive and self-triggering. It contains an integrated precision trigger circuit and surge-rated FET-no external voltage, clock, or enable signal is needed. The device activates automatically when transient voltage exceeds its 25–27.9V breakdown threshold, making SDC36C.TCT ideal for "set-and-forget" protection in safety-critical power rails.
Can SDC36C.TCT be used on USB Type-C superspeed differential pairs (TX/RX)?
No, SDC36C.TCT is not suitable for USB SuperSpeed lanes. Its 175pF junction capacitance would severely degrade signal integrity above ~100 MHz. For TX+/TX–, RX+/RX–, and DP/DM lines, Semtech recommends low-capacitance devices like RClamp3371ZC (<0.25pF). SDC36C.TCT is intended exclusively for VBUS, CC, SBU, and load switch power inputs.
How does SDC36C.TCT compare to standard TVS diodes in clamping performance?
Standard TVS diodes exhibit linear VC rise with increasing IPP due to fixed dynamic resistance (VC = VBR + IPP × RDYN). In contrast, SDC36C.TCT maintains ~27.5–28V clamping from 1A to 40A and across –40°C to +125°C because its FET's RDS(on) collapses under surge-delivering consistent protection margins without overdesign.
Is SDC36C.TCT RoHS and REACH compliant?
Yes, SDC36C.TCT is Pb-free, halogen-free, and fully compliant with RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. Its molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and lead finish is lead-free per J-STD-609. Full compliance documentation is available upon request for SDC36C.TCT.
