Product details
Overview
SMP80MC-270 from STMicroelectronics is a bidirectional Trisil™ transient voltage surge suppressor (TVSS) designed for primary-level overvoltage protection in telecom line interfaces. It features a 270 V stand-off voltage (VRM), 345 V dynamic breakover voltage (VBO), 80 A repetitive peak pulse current (10/1000 µs), 12 pF capacitance at 50 V, and 2 µA max leakage current - enabling low-signal-distortion protection for ADSL2+/VDSL2 equipment.
For engineers reviewing the SMP80MC-270 datasheet, SMP80MC-270 pinout, SMP80MC-270 application, or SMP80MC-270 equivalent, this device is selected for telecom surge protection where micro-capacitance, fail-safe short-circuit behavior, and GR-1089 Core compliance are critical design requirements.
Technical Context
The SMP80MC-270 operates as a bidirectional crowbar device that latches into low-impedance conduction upon exceeding its dynamic breakover voltage (345 V), sustaining conduction until current falls below 150 mA holding current (IH). Its fail-safe short-circuit mode ensures continued protection even after end-of-life stress events.
Designed for telecom line interface protection, it meets GR-1089 Core first-level (2500 V, 10/1000 µs, 500 A) and ITU-T K20/K21 (6000 V, 10/700 µs) surge immunity standards without signal degradation due to its 12 pF capacitance and low leakage (≤2 µA at 243 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Stand-off Voltage (VRM) | 243 V - Maximum continuous reverse voltage before conduction begins; sets operating margin for 270 V nominal telecom lines. |
| Dynamic Breakover Voltage (VBO) | 345 V - Voltage threshold at which device triggers into crowbar mode under 100 V/µs dV/dt; ensures fast response to lightning surges. |
| Repetitive Peak Pulse Current (IPP) | 80 A @ 10/1000 µs - Sustained surge handling capability per IEC 61000-4-5; supports repeated lightning strike events. |
| Junction Capacitance (C) | 12 pF @ 50 V - Enables compatibility with high-speed digital transmission (ADSL2+, VDSL2) without signal integrity loss. |
| Holding Current (IH) | 150 mA min - Minimum current required to maintain on-state; ensures reliable latch-on during surge and clean turn-off post-event. |
| Leakage Current (IR) | 2 µA max @ VRM - Ultra-low standby leakage preserves line bias stability and minimizes power loss in always-on telecom circuits. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SMB (JEDEC DO-214AA), surface-mount, lead-free, UL94 V0 epoxy encapsulation. Dimensions: 5.10–5.60 mm (E), 4.05–4.60 mm (E1), 3.30–3.95 mm (D), 1.90–2.45 mm (A1), 0.75–1.50 mm (L).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode/Cathode (bidirectional) | Surge current path terminals | No polarity marking; symmetric bidirectional conduction enables single-device protection of AC telecom lines (e.g., POTS, xDSL). |
| Case / Body | Thermal and mechanical reference | Non-electrical; soldered to PCB copper pour for thermal dissipation (Rth(j-a) = 100 °C/W with recommended footprint). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional crowbar action | Enables single-device protection of AC-coupled telecom lines without external polarity management or series diodes. |
| Fail-safe short-circuit mode | Guarantees continued overvoltage clamping even after end-of-life stress, meeting UL60950 and IEC 61000-4-5 safety requirements. |
| Micro capacitance (12 pF) | Preserves signal fidelity up to 30 MHz; validated for ADSL2+ (up to 2.2 MHz) and VDSL2 (up to 17 MHz) line interfaces. |
| Low VBO/VR ratio (1.42) | Ensures tight clamping margin and rapid triggering - critical for protecting downstream transceivers against fast-rising lightning transients. |
| GR-1089 Core compliance | Qualified for first-level (2500 V, 10/1000 µs) and intra-building (1500 V, 2/10 µs) telecom surge immunity per Telcordia specification. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional telecom surge protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Littelfuse SP1003-270 | Higher VBO (370 V), same 270 V VRM; 100 A IPP (10/1000 µs); 15 pF capacitance. | Marginally higher clamping voltage reduces protection level for sensitive transceivers; higher capacitance may affect >10 MHz signal integrity. | Select when higher surge current headroom is prioritized over minimal signal distortion. |
| Bourns 2061-270 | Unidirectional configuration; requires dual-device implementation for AC lines; 350 V VBO; 10 pF capacitance. | Not directly substitutable without circuit redesign; adds component count and board area vs. SMP80MC-270's integrated bidirectionality. | Choose only if unidirectional topology is mandated and space allows dual placement. |
Compared with SP1003-270 and 2061-270, the SMP80MC-270 uniquely combines bidirectional operation, ultra-low 12 pF capacitance, and fail-safe short-circuit behavior - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-fidelity telecom line interfaces requiring GR-1089 compliance without redesign.

FAQ
What is the maximum continuous operating voltage for SMP80MC-270?
The SMP80MC-270 has a maximum continuous stand-off voltage (VRM) of 243 V, corresponding to its 270 V nominal rating. This value represents the highest DC or RMS AC voltage the device can withstand without triggering, verified per IEC 61000-4-5 test conditions at 25 °C ambient.
Does SMP80MC-270 require a series current-limiting resistor?
Yes - a series resistor is required to limit follow current after triggering and ensure safe turn-off. For 48 V telecom lines, a typical value is 10–22 Ω; exact value depends on system voltage, source impedance, and required hold-off time, as defined in GR-1089 Core first-level test setup.
Is SMP80MC-270 RoHS and REACH compliant?
Yes - SMP80MC-270 is manufactured in a lead-free, RoHS-compliant process and carries ECOPACK® environmental grade certification. Its epoxy meets UL94 V0 flammability rating, and full compliance documentation is available via STMicroelectronics' quality portal.
How does SMP80MC-270 behave after reaching end-of-life?
It fails in a short-circuit (fail-safe) mode, maintaining low-impedance conduction during overvoltage events. This behavior is inherent to Trisil™ technology and ensures continued protection - a key requirement for UL60950 and IEC 61000-4-5 certified telecom equipment.
