Product details
Overview
SMDA05CN-5.TBT from Semtech is a transient diverting suppressor (TDS) designed for high-energy EOS protection of single 22V I/O or power lines, featuring ±30kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity, 40A peak pulse current (8/20μs), 27.5–28V clamping voltage at 40A, 20mΩ dynamic resistance, and 175pF junction capacitance - deployed in USB Type-C PD input protection and industrial load switch front-end circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SMDA05CN-5.TBT datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping stability across temperature and current, low dynamic resistance for minimal voltage overshoot, DFN-6 package layout compatibility, and compliance with IEC 61000-4-2/4-4/4-5 surge standards in high-reliability embedded interfaces.
Technical Context
The SMDA05CN-5.TBT implements a surge-rated FET shunt architecture activated by a precision trigger circuit, enabling near-constant clamping voltage independent of peak pulse current magnitude - unlike conventional TVS diodes whose VC rises linearly with IPP due to fixed RDYN. Its operation relies on voltage-controlled switching rather than avalanche breakdown.
Clamping remains stable from −40°C to +125°C, with <±0.5V variation across temperature at 40A, and maintains 27.5–28V VC under both 1.2/50μs + 8/20μs combination waveforms (RS = 2Ω) and 8/20μs surges alone - critical for protecting USB PD controllers and load switches where VBUS transients must stay below 30V damage thresholds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage | 22V - defines maximum continuous DC operating voltage on protected line without leakage or degradation. |
| Clamping Voltage | 27.5–28V at 40A (8/20μs) - ensures downstream ICs (e.g., USB PD controllers) remain below absolute maximum ratings during surge events. |
| Peak Pulse Current | 40A (8/20μs) - supports compliance with IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 industrial surge immunity (±1kV, RS = 42Ω). |
| ESD Withstand | ±30kV contact & air (IEC 61000-4-2) - exceeds automotive and industrial ESD requirements for connector-facing protection. |
| Dynamic Resistance | 20mΩ - enables flat clamping response; reduces voltage overshoot rise time and improves energy handling vs. TVS diodes. |
| Junction Capacitance | 175pF at 22V, 1MHz - compatible with low-speed power/data lines (e.g., VBUS, CC, SBU); not suitable for >100MHz signal paths. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DFN-6 (1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.55mm), RoHS-compliant, UL 94V-0 molding compound, lead-free finish, tape-and-reel packaging (3,000 pcs/reel). Pin 1 marked with laser dot.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | GND | Common ground return path for surge current; all three pins must be connected to minimize inductance and maximize 40A capability. |
| 4, 5, 6 | IN | Protected line input (e.g., VBUS, load switch input); parallel connection of all three pins ensures uniform current sharing and thermal distribution. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant-clamp architecture | Clamping voltage varies <±0.5V from −40°C to +125°C and <±0.5V across 1–40A pulse range - eliminates thermal derating uncertainty in industrial environments. |
| FET-based shunt topology | Replaces avalanche diode with low-RDS(on) MOSFET triggered by precision reference - avoids junction heating and enables repeatable 40A surge survival. |
| Low dynamic resistance | 20mΩ measured between 1A and 40A (8/20μs) - minimizes IR drop during surge, reducing peak overvoltage beyond VC specification. |
| High-energy EFT immunity | ±4kV per IEC 61000-4-4 (5/50ns, 5kHz & 100kHz bursts) - protects against repetitive fast transients in motor drives and PLC I/O modules. |
Applications
| USB Type-C Power Delivery Protection | Industrial Load Switch Input Protection |

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 marking (T22XX), and shared Semtech datasheet - functionally identical part number variant. | No functional difference; used interchangeably in USB-C and industrial designs per Semtech ordering documentation. | Select TDS2211P.C when sourcing directly from Semtech or authorized distributors with full traceability to Rev 2.5 datasheet. |
| uClamp2411ZA.TCT | 24V working voltage, ±30kV ESD, but lower 20A IPP (8/20μs) and higher 33V clamping at 20A - uses standard TVS architecture, not FET-shunt. | Suitable for CC/SBU lines in USB-C where lower current rating suffices; not recommended for 22V VBUS or load switch inputs requiring 40A. | Choose uClamp2411ZA.TCT only for secondary signal-line protection where clamping stability and 40A capability are not required. |
Compared with TDS2211P.C (identical spec) and uClamp2411ZA.TCT (lower IPP, higher VC), SMDA05CN-5.TBT delivers guaranteed 40A surge handling with flat 27.5–28V clamping - making it the sole option among these three for primary 22V bus protection in USB PD and industrial load switch applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous operating voltage for SMDA05CN-5.TBT?
The SMDA05CN-5.TBT has a reverse stand-off voltage (VRWM) of 22V, meaning it can continuously block up to 22V DC without significant leakage or conduction. This makes it suitable for 20V–22V nominal power rails such as USB PD VBUS and industrial 24V auxiliary supplies. Operation above 22V risks premature triggering or accelerated degradation.
Does SMDA05CN-5.TBT require any external bias or control circuitry?
No, the SMDA05CN-5.TBT operates autonomously with no external bias, enable signals, or configuration pins. Its internal trigger circuit activates the shunt FET when transient voltage exceeds the breakdown threshold - making it a true plug-and-play solution ideal for space-constrained PCB layouts where simplicity and reliability are paramount.
How does SMDA05CN-5.TBT differ from standard TVS diodes in surge response?
Unlike standard TVS diodes that exhibit rising clamping voltage with increasing peak pulse current (VC = VBR + IPP × RDYN), the SMDA05CN-5.TBT uses a FET-shunt architecture that maintains ~27.5–28V clamping from 1A to 40A and across −40°C to +125°C - eliminating thermal derating uncertainty and ensuring consistent protection margins in real-world conditions.
Can SMDA05CN-5.TBT be used on high-speed data lines like USB SuperSpeed or PCIe?
No, the SMDA05CN-5.TBT is not suitable for high-speed data lines due to its 175pF junction capacitance, which would severely degrade signal integrity above ~100MHz. It is intended exclusively for power rails and low-speed control lines (e.g., VBUS, CC, SBU, load switch EN/VIN). For SuperSpeed lanes, Semtech recommends RClamp3371ZC (<0.25pF).
What is the recommended PCB layout for optimal performance of SMDA05CN-5.TBT?
Place SMDA05CN-5.TBT as close as possible to the protected connector. Connect all three IN pins (4,5,6) via a single short, wide trace to the protected line, and tie all three GND pins (1,2,3) directly to a solid ground plane using multiple vias. Avoid thermal relief on GND pads and minimize trace inductance - this preserves 40A surge capability and ensures sub-30V clamping under worst-case transients.
