Product details
Overview
SN75240PW from Texas Instruments is a quadruple unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) designed for ESD protection of USB full-speed and low-speed ports. It features 6.5-V minimum breakdown voltage, 35-pF typical input capacitance, ≤1-µA leakage at 6 V, 15-kV HBM ESD rating, and operates across 0°C to 70°C ambient temperature.
For engineers reviewing the SN75240PW datasheet, SN75240PW pinout, SN75240PW application, or SN75240PW equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, package-specific pin mapping, USB port-level protection context, and validated alternative options for robust I/O hardening in embedded and peripheral designs.
Technical Context
The SN75240PW integrates four independent unidirectional TVS diodes in a single TSSOP-8 package, each configured with Zener-triggered transistor clamping for positive transients and forward-biased diode conduction for negative transients. Its 6.5-V breakdown threshold aligns with 3-V/5-V USB transceiver rail margins.
It operates without external bias-functioning purely as a passive voltage-clamping device-and relies on low-inductance ground connections via four dedicated GND pins to shunt transient energy directly to local circuit ground during ESD events exceeding 6.5 V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage | 6.5 V min - Ensures clamping activates above USB 5-V supply but below transceiver absolute max rating. |
| Input Capacitance | 35 pF typical - Compatible with USB full-speed (12 Mbps) but not high-speed (480 Mbps) due to signal integrity impact. |
| Leakage Current | ≤1 µA at 6 V - Minimizes standby power loss and avoids loading USB data lines during normal operation. |
| ESD Rating (HBM) | ±15 kV - Exceeds IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 requirements for system-level USB port immunity. |
| Ambient Temp Range | 0°C to 70°C - Validated for commercial-grade USB host/peripheral applications, not extended industrial or automotive. |
| Peak Power Dissipation | 60 W - Sustains short-duration ESD pulses without thermal failure when properly mounted to ground plane. |
Pinout & Package
TSSOP-8 (PW) package: 3.00 mm × 4.40 mm body, 1.2 mm max height, 0.65 mm lead pitch, exposed pad optional per layout guidelines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| A | Analog input | Transient suppressor input for USB D+ line (Line 1). |
| B | Analog input | Transient suppressor input for USB D− line (Line 2). |
| C | Analog input | Transient suppressor input for third signal line (Line 3). |
| D | Analog input | Transient suppressor input for fourth signal line (Line 4). |
| GND (Pins 1, 3, 5, 7) | Power | Four dedicated ground terminals - must all connect to solid ground plane to minimize inductance and ensure effective ESD shunting. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quadruple unidirectional TVS structure | Four independent clamping paths enable simultaneous protection of D+, D−, and two auxiliary lines without cross-talk. |
| Zener + transistor clamping architecture | Enables sharp turn-on at 6.5 V with low dynamic impedance during ESD events, improving clamping consistency vs. standard diodes. |
| Low 35-pF input capacitance | Maintains USB full-speed signal integrity (12 Mbps) while avoiding timing skew or rise/fall degradation on differential pairs. |
| Four-GND-pin configuration | Reduces ground path inductance by >50% vs. single-GND packages - critical for sub-nanosecond ESD pulse dissipation. |
Applications
| USB Full-Speed Host Port | USB Full-Speed Peripheral |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting motherboard USB controller ports from repeated hot-plug ESD events during field deployment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Passive clamping element placed between USB connector and transceiver IC, activated only during transients ≥6.5 V. Use Value: Extends system-level ESD immunity from baseline 2–4 kV HBM to 15 kV HBM without altering USB signal timing or adding active components. | Use Scenario: Hardening external USB devices (keyboards, mice, storage) against user-handling ESD in office environments. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standalone transient suppressor on D+/D− lines, operating independently of host-side protection. Use Value: Enables pass/fail compliance with IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 without redesigning PCB layout or increasing bill-of-materials complexity. |
| USB Low-Speed Hub Port | Industrial USB Data Logger Interface |
Use Scenario: Securing downstream hub ports connecting multiple peripherals where cumulative ESD exposure increases failure risk. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Quadruple TVS providing parallel protection for D+, D−, VBUS sense, and ground-referenced control line. Use Value: Leverages unused C/D pins to protect auxiliary signals - eliminates need for discrete TVS arrays and saves board space. | Use Scenario: Adding robustness to USB-connected environmental sensors deployed in factory-floor settings with elevated static charge risk. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary ESD barrier at connector entry point, interfacing directly with microcontroller USB PHY. Use Value: Maintains 0–70°C operational range compatibility with industrial enclosure thermal profiles while delivering certified 15-kV HBM protection. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN65240PW | Same TSSOP-8 package, identical pinout, but rated for –40°C to 85°C operating range. | Supports wider ambient temperature range - suitable for industrial or outdoor USB deployments. | Select SN65240PW when extended temperature operation is required; SN75240PW remains optimal for cost-sensitive commercial applications. |
| TPD2E001DRSR | 2-channel, 0.65-mm pitch DSBGA-6, 12-pF capacitance, ±8-kV HBM, 3.3-V compatible. | Lower capacitance enables marginal high-speed USB support; smaller footprint but fewer protected lines. | Choose TPD2E001DRSR for space-constrained designs needing dual-line protection with tighter signal integrity budgets. |
Compared with SN65240PW, SN75240PW trades extended temperature range for lower cost and commercial qualification; versus TPD2E001DRSR, it offers double the channel count and higher ESD rating at the expense of higher capacitance and larger TSSOP footprint - making it ideal for legacy full-speed USB port hardening where channel density and ruggedness outweigh miniaturization needs.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for SN75240PW?
The SN75240PW is specified for 0°C to 70°C ambient operation. This commercial-grade range matches typical desktop, peripheral, and office-environment USB applications. It is not qualified for industrial (–40°C to 85°C) or automotive use - for those, SN65240PW or SN65220DBVR are recommended alternatives. The SN75240PW datasheet explicitly defines TA = 0°C to 70°C in Section 7.3.
Can SN75240PW be used for USB 2.0 high-speed (480 Mbps) applications?
No, SN75240PW is unsuitable for USB 2.0 high-speed operation. Its 35-pF typical input capacitance introduces excessive signal distortion and timing skew at 480 Mbps. The datasheet explicitly states in Section 3 that "The input capacitance of 35 pF makes it unsuitable for high-speed USB 2.0 applications." It is validated only for full-speed (12 Mbps) and low-speed (1.5 Mbps) USB 1.1 compliance.
How many ground connections does SN75240PW require, and why?
SN75240PW requires connection of all four GND pins (pins 1, 3, 5, and 7) to a solid ground plane. This is mandated in Section 12.1 Layout Guidelines to minimize parasitic inductance in the ESD current path. Using fewer than four grounds degrades clamping speed and reduces effective ESD immunity - the four-pin design lowers total ground path inductance by distributing surge current across parallel low-inductance routes.
What is the standoff voltage specification for SN75240PW?
The SN75240PW has a minimum standoff voltage of 6 V, defined as the maximum continuous working voltage before clamping initiates. This value ensures reliable operation under nominal 5-V USB bus conditions while maintaining margin below the 6.5-V minimum breakdown voltage. The 6-V standoff is confirmed in Section 1 Features and Table 7-5 Electrical Characteristics (V(BR) = 6.5 V min at 1 mA).
Is SN75240PW pin-compatible with SN65240PW?
Yes, SN75240PW and SN65240PW share identical TSSOP-8 (PW) packaging, pinout, and terminal functions - including A, B, C, D inputs and GND pins at positions 1, 3, 5, and 7. They differ only in temperature rating (SN75240PW: 0°C–70°C; SN65240PW: –40°C–85°C) and part marking (A75240 vs. A65240). This allows direct substitution in commercial applications where extended temperature range is not required.
