Product details
Overview
SMDA05-6E3/TR13 from Microsemi (now Microchip Technology) is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) array in SO-8 package, rated for 300 W peak pulse power (8/20 µs), 5.0 V stand-off voltage (VWM), and 9.8 V clamping voltage at 1 A. It protects six I/O lines in board-level ESD/EFT-sensitive applications such as RS-232/485 transceivers and microprocessor I/O ports.
For engineers reviewing the SMDA05-6E3/TR13 datasheet, SMDA05-6E3/TR13 pinout, SMDA05-6E3/TR13 application, or SMDA05-6E3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include VWM ≥ operating line voltage, clamping performance under 1–5 A surge current, SO-8 thermal and layout compatibility, and IEC 61000-4-2/4-4 compliance verification.
Technical Context
This TVS array employs silicon avalanche diode technology with six independent unidirectional channels, each connected between an I/O line and ground. Its low leakage (<20 µA @ 5.0 V) and 550 pF capacitance (1 MHz, 0 V) support high-speed data lines without signal integrity degradation.
The device operates across –55 °C to +150 °C and sustains repetitive 8/20 µs surges at <0.01% duty cycle. Clamping behavior is characterized per line, with guaranteed VC ≤ 9.8 V @ 1 A and ≤ 11 V @ 5 A - critical for safeguarding TTL, CMOS, and HCMOS logic interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM (Stand-off) | 5.0 V - Maximum continuous working voltage; must match or exceed circuit's peak DC/AC operating voltage |
| VBR (Breakdown) | 6.0 V min @ 1 mA - Ensures reliable avalanche conduction onset above normal operating range |
| VC @ 1 A | 9.8 V max - Limits voltage seen by protected IC during 1 A transient, preserving logic-level integrity |
| VC @ 5 A | 11 V max - Confirms robust clamping under higher-energy EFT events (e.g., IEC 61000-4-4 Level 4) |
| Capacitance | 550 pF @ 1 MHz, 0 V - Compatible with ≤10 Mbps RS-485 or 25 Mbps USB 1.1 I/O without excessive rise-time degradation |
| Peak Pulse Power | 300 W @ 8/20 µs - Validates protection against IEC 61000-4-2 ±8 kV contact discharge and ±15 kV air discharge |
| Operating Temp | –55 °C to +150 °C - Supports automotive under-hood, industrial control, and extended-temperature embedded designs |
Pinout & Package
SO-8 surface-mount package with gull-wing leads; pin #1 identified by dot marking on top surface; 0.150–0.158 inch body width; 1.27 mm pitch; RoHS-compliant molding compound.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | I/O Line 1 Anode | Unidirectional TVS cathode tied to GND; anode connects to protected signal line |
| 2 | I/O Line 2 Anode | Independent channel - no internal coupling; enables discrete line-by-line protection |
| 3 | I/O Line 3 Anode | Each anode routed separately; supports mixed-voltage I/O domains on same PCB |
| 4 | GND | Common cathode return path; requires low-inductance PCB ground plane connection |
| 5 | GND | Dual GND pins reduce ground loop impedance and improve high-frequency surge dissipation |
| 6 | I/O Line 4 Anode | Pin 6–8 mirror pins 1–3 symmetry; allows compact routing of 6-line interface bus |
| 7 | I/O Line 5 Anode | Enables full 6-line protection in single SO-8 footprint - saves board area vs. discrete diodes |
| 8 | I/O Line 6 Anode | Last channel; completes 6-channel array; pinout matches standard SO-8 mechanical outline |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 6-channel unidirectional protection | Single SO-8 package replaces six discrete TVS diodes - reduces BOM count and layout complexity |
| IEC 61000-4-2 & -4-4 compliance | Validated for ±8 kV contact / ±15 kV air ESD and 4 kV EFT - meets industrial and telecom immunity requirements |
| Low clamping voltage (9.8 V @ 1 A) | Keeps protected ICs within safe absolute maximum ratings during fast transients - prevents latch-up or gate oxide damage |
| 550 pF line-to-ground capacitance | Permits use on 3.3 V/5 V digital buses up to 10 Mbps without signal distortion or timing skew |
| –55 °C to +150 °C operation | Supports deployment in engine control units, motor drives, and outdoor IoT gateways without derating |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ5.0A | Single-channel SMA package; 5.0 V VWM, 9.2 V VC @ 1 A; 600 pF capacitance | Requires six discrete placements; higher total board area and assembly cost | Preferred when space allows discrete layout or when mixed-voltage lines require different VWM values |
| SP1003-050 | 6-channel unidirectional SO-8; 5.5 V VWM, 12.5 V VC @ 1 A; 35 pF capacitance | Lower capacitance enables >100 Mbps interfaces but higher clamping may stress 3.3 V logic | Chosen for high-speed CAN or Ethernet PHY protection where low C is critical and VC margin permits |
Compared with SMAJ5.0A and SP1003-050, the SMDA05-6E3/TR13 delivers balanced clamping performance, proven 6-line integration, and industrial temperature support - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained 5 V I/O protection where moderate bandwidth suffices.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMDA05-6E3/TR13 at 5 A surge current?
The SMDA05-6E3/TR13 has a maximum clamping voltage of 11 V at 5 A (8/20 µs waveform), as specified in the MSC0332A.PDF datasheet. This value ensures downstream 5 V logic circuits remain within safe operating limits during high-energy electrical fast transients. The SMDA05-6E3/TR13 achieves this via optimized silicon junction design and low-inductance SO-8 packaging.
Is SMDA05-6E3/TR13 suitable for protecting 3.3 V logic interfaces?
Yes, the SMDA05-6E3/TR13 is suitable for 3.3 V logic when used with appropriate design margins: its 5.0 V stand-off voltage exceeds typical 3.3 V rail peaks, and its 9.8 V clamping voltage at 1 A remains below most 3.3 V ICs' absolute maximum ratings (often 6.5–7 V). For tighter margin applications, verify system-level surge testing. The SMDA05-6E3/TR13 remains widely deployed in mixed-voltage I/O protection.
Does SMDA05-6E3/TR13 meet IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD requirements?
Yes, the SMDA05-6E3/TR13 is rated for IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity up to ±15 kV air discharge and ±8 kV contact discharge - exceeding Level 4 (±8 kV contact / ±15 kV air). This capability is validated through standardized testing per the device's qualification report and is inherent to its 300 W peak pulse power rating and low-clamp architecture. The SMDA05-6E3/TR13 is routinely selected for medical and industrial end-equipment certification.
What is the leakage current specification for SMDA05-6E3/TR13 at its stand-off voltage?
The SMDA05-6E3/TR13 exhibits a maximum leakage current of 20 µA at its 5.0 V stand-off voltage (VWM) and 25 °C ambient, per the MSC0332A.PDF datasheet. This low leakage ensures minimal impact on high-impedance signal paths and battery-powered circuits. The SMDA05-6E3/TR13 maintains this spec across its full operating temperature range, supporting reliable operation in thermally variable environments.
How many independent protection channels does SMDA05-6E3/TR13 provide?
The SMDA05-6E3/TR13 provides six independent unidirectional TVS channels in a single SO-8 package, with pins 1–3 and 6–8 serving as anode terminals for individual I/O lines, and pins 4–5 as common cathode (GND) connections. This configuration enables discrete protection of six signals - such as RS-485 A/B, control lines, and status indicators - without inter-channel coupling. The SMDA05-6E3/TR13 is engineered for true per-line surge suppression.
