Product details
Overview
SRV08-4.TCT from Semtech is a low-capacitance TVS diode array in SOT-23-6L package, designed to protect four high-speed data lines (e.g., USB, DVI, video I/O) against ESD (IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4), EFT, and lightning surges. It integrates eight surge-rated steering diodes with an internal TVS diode, features 5.0 V operating voltage, <5 pF junction capacitance per I/O line, and clamps transients to ≤12.5 V at 1 A.
For engineers reviewing the SRV08-4.TCT datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include rail-to-rail clamping topology, low-inductance SOT-23-6L layout compatibility, I/O-to-GND capacitance stability up to 1 MHz, and compliance with 8 kV contact / 15 kV air ESD immunity requirements.
Technical Context
The SRV08-4.TCT implements a rail-to-rail transient protection architecture using integrated steering diodes referenced to VCC (pin 2) and GND (pin 5). During positive transients, current steers to VCC; during negative transients, it steers to GND - both paths leveraging low-VF avalanche silicon diodes.
Its internal TVS diode limits VCC overvoltage, preventing downstream supply-line damage. The monolithic SOT-23-6L construction minimizes parasitic inductance (<1 nH typical trace path), reducing voltage overshoot during fast-rising ESD events (di/dt up to 30 A/ns).

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar TVS diode array applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor NUP4201MR6T1G | 4-channel, SOT-23-6, 5.0 V VWM, 14.5 V VC @ 1 A, 5.5 pF capacitance | Higher clamping voltage and capacitance reduce margin for 480 Mbps USB 2.0 eye compliance | Preferred where cost sensitivity outweighs strict high-speed signal integrity requirements |
| Vishay SMA6J5.0A | Single-channel, DO-214AC, 5.0 V VWM, 9.2 V VC @ 1 A, but requires 4 discrete devices + external VCC TVS | Increases PCB area >4× and introduces layout-dependent inductance mismatch between channels | Only suitable when monolithic integration is not required and board space is unconstrained |
Compared with NUP4201MR6T1G and SMA6J5.0A, the SRV08-4.TCT delivers lower clamping voltage (12.5 V vs. 14.5 V/9.2 V), lower per-line capacitance (3.5 pF vs. 5.5 pF), and integrated rail-to-rail topology - enabling single-device protection of four matched high-speed lines with minimal layout overhead.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the SRV08-4.TCT under ESD stress?
The SRV08-4.TCT clamps to ≤12.5 V at 1 A peak pulse current (8/20 µs waveform), and ≤21.5 V at its rated 30 A peak pulse current. This clamping performance is validated per IEC 61000-4-2 test conditions and ensures safe operation for 5 V CMOS interfaces. The SRV08-4.TCT achieves this via low-VF steering diodes and optimized monolithic layout.
Can the SRV08-4.TCT protect both USB D+ and D− lines simultaneously?
Yes - the SRV08-4.TCT protects four independent I/O lines (pins 1, 3, 4, 6), making it ideal for full-duplex USB 2.0 differential pairs. Each line is clamped independently to VCC (pin 2) and GND (pin 5), preserving signal symmetry and minimizing common-mode noise injection. The SRV08-4.TCT's matched channel characteristics ensure balanced transient response across D+ and D−.
Is the SRV08-4.TCT compatible with 3.3 V systems?
No - the SRV08-4.TCT has a 5.0 V operating voltage and 5.0 V reverse standoff voltage, making it unsuitable for direct use on 3.3 V rails without level-shifting or additional biasing. For 3.3 V applications, Semtech offers the SRV05-4 variant. The SRV08-4.TCT must be used only where VCC = 5.0 V nominal, as specified in its absolute maximum ratings.
How does the SRV08-4.TCT differ from discrete TVS + diode solutions?
The SRV08-4.TCT integrates eight steering diodes and one VCC TVS into a single SOT-23-6L die, eliminating inter-device timing skew, parasitic inductance mismatches, and PCB routing complexity. Discrete solutions require ≥5 components per channel and suffer from >2× higher effective clamping voltage due to trace inductance. The SRV08-4.TCT reduces bill-of-materials count and improves reliability over discrete alternatives.
What is the thermal limit for continuous operation of the SRV08-4.TCT?
The SRV08-4.TCT supports continuous operation from −55°C to +125°C junction temperature, with derating beginning above +70°C ambient. Its power dissipation capability is limited by package thermal resistance (θJA ≈ 200°C/W); sustained DC leakage above 5 µA at 5 V indicates potential degradation. The SRV08-4.TCT maintains specification compliance across this full range when mounted per JEDEC SOT-23-6L land pattern guidelines.
