Product details
Overview
SMDA05C-8E3/TR13 from Microsemi (now Microchip Technology) is a bi-directional 8-line transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode array in SO-14 package, rated for 300 W peak pulse power (8/20 µs), 5.0 V standoff voltage (VWM), 6.0 V minimum breakdown (VBR @1 mA), and clamping to ≤9.8 V at 1 A - designed to protect 3.3 V/5 V digital interfaces including I/O transceivers, DRAM, SRAM, and HSIC against ESD (IEC 61000-4-2), EFT (IEC 61000-4-4), and lightning-induced surges.
For engineers reviewing the SMDA05C-8E3/TR13 datasheet, SMDA05C-8E3/TR13 pinout, SMDA05C-8E3/TR13 application, or SMDA05C-8E3/TR13 equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 5.0 V stand-off compatibility with 3.3–5 V logic rails, sub-10 V clamping at 1 A, 200 pF capacitance at 0 V (1 MHz), -55°C to +150°C operating range, and SO-14 surface-mount mechanical form factor.
Technical Context
This TVS array implements eight independent, electrically isolated bi-directional protection channels in a single SO-14 package, each channel featuring a symmetrical back-to-back diode configuration enabling bidirectional surge clamping without polarity constraints. It operates within a wide thermal envelope (-55°C to +150°C) and meets UL 94V-0 flammability requirements.
The device is characterized for transient suppression under standardized 8/20 µs current pulses, delivering 300 W peak pulse power per channel with <0.01% pulse repetition rate. Its 40 µA max leakage at VWM ensures minimal impact on low-voltage signal integrity in high-speed digital interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Standoff Voltage (VWM) | 5.0 V - matches nominal 5 V supply rails; prevents conduction during normal operation |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 6.0 V min @ 1 mA - ensures reliable triggering above system operating voltage |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | ≤9.8 V @ 1 A - limits transient overvoltage to safe levels for 3.3/5 V ICs |
| Peak Pulse Power | 300 W (8/20 µs) - withstands high-energy ESD/EFT events per IEC standards |
| Capacitance (C) | 200 pF @ 0 V, 1 MHz - suitable for moderate-speed data lines (e.g., UART, SPI, I²C) |
| Operating Temperature | -55°C to +150°C - supports industrial and automotive under-hood environments |
| Leakage Current (ID) | ≤40 µA @ VWM - avoids DC loading of sensitive low-power inputs |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMDA05C-8T/R | Same electrical specs; tape-and-reel packaging differs (TR13 = 2,500 pcs/reel; T/R unspecified reel size) | No functional difference; identical SO-14 footprint and pinout | Select SMDA05C-8T/R only if alternate reel quantity or carrier specification required |
| SP1003-050 | Lower clamping (≤7.5 V @1 A), higher capacitance (350 pF), same VWM and package | Better clamping but higher signal loading - suited for lower-speed interfaces (<10 Mbps) | Choose SP1003-050 where tighter voltage limiting outweighs speed penalty; verify 350 pF compatibility |
Compared with SMDA05C-8E3/TR13, SMDA05C-8T/R offers identical protection performance with alternate packaging logistics, while SP1003-050 trades higher capacitance for improved clamping - making SMDA05C-8E3/TR13 optimal for balanced speed, leakage, and robustness in 5 V mixed-signal I/O.

FAQ
What is the standoff voltage rating of SMDA05C-8E3/TR13?
The SMDA05C-8E3/TR13 has a standoff voltage (VWM) of 5.0 V, meaning it remains non-conductive under normal 5 V rail operation while reliably triggering above 6.0 V to clamp transients. This rating ensures compatibility with standard 5 V logic families and prevents false triggering during typical power supply ripple or noise.
Does SMDA05C-8E3/TR13 meet IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity requirements?
Yes, the SMDA05C-8E3/TR13 is explicitly designed to protect circuits against electrostatic discharge per IEC 61000-4-2, supporting up to ±15 kV contact discharge. Its 300 W peak pulse power rating and ≤9.8 V clamping voltage at 1 A ensure downstream 5 V components remain within safe operating limits during standardized ESD events.
What is the package type and pin count of SMDA05C-8E3/TR13?
SMDA05C-8E3/TR13 uses a molded SO-14 surface-mount package with 14 pins. Pin #1 is marked by a dot on the top surface, and the device follows EIA-481-1-A tape-and-reel packaging standard with 2,500 units per 13-inch reel (TR13 designation).
Can SMDA05C-8E3/TR13 be used to protect 3.3 V interfaces?
Yes, SMDA05C-8E3/TR13 is rated for protecting 3.0/3.3 V components as stated in its official documentation. Its 5.0 V standoff voltage provides sufficient margin above 3.3 V nominal rails, and its low leakage (≤40 µA) avoids loading sensitive 3.3 V inputs - making it suitable for DRAM, SRAM, HCMOS, and HSIC interfaces.
What is the maximum clamping voltage of SMDA05C-8E3/TR13 at 5 A?
The maximum clamping voltage of SMDA05C-8E3/TR13 is 11 V at 5 A (per Figure 2 in MSC0976.PDF). This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected lines during high-current transients, ensuring continued safety margin for 5 V systems even under severe surge conditions.
