Product details
Overview
SX1231JIMLTRT from Semtech is a Transient Diverting Suppressor (TDS) designed for high-energy EOS protection of 22V-rated power or data lines, featuring ±30kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity, 40A peak pulse current (8/20μs), 27.5–28V clamping voltage at 40A, and 20mΩ dynamic resistance. It protects USB Type-C power delivery buses and industrial load switch inputs.
For engineers reviewing the SX1231JIMLTRT datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, DFN-6 package layout guidance, temperature-stable clamping behavior, and direct alternatives for 22V bus protection in USB PD, IoT, and industrial equipment designs.
Technical Context
The SX1231JIMLTRT uses a surge-rated FET as its primary protection element, activated by a precision trigger circuit that turns on the shunt path when transient voltage exceeds breakdown. Unlike conventional TVS diodes, its clamping voltage remains nearly constant across 24–40A peak pulse current due to decreasing RDS(on) under surge conditions.
It operates from −40°C to +125°C with stable 27.5–28V clamping at 40A (1.2/50μs + 8/20μs combination waveform, RS = 2Ω), 22V reverse stand-off voltage, and 175pF junction capacitance at 22V/1MHz - enabling robust protection without signal integrity compromise in high-speed interfaces.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage | 22V - defines maximum continuous DC or RMS operating voltage on protected line without leakage or degradation. |
| Clamping Voltage | 27.5–28V at 40A (8/20μs + 1.2/50μs) - ensures downstream 24V-rated ICs (e.g., USB PD controllers) remain below damage threshold during surge events. |
| Peak Pulse Current | 40A (8/20μs) - meets IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 industrial surge immunity requirements for 22V systems. |
| ESD Withstand | ±30kV contact & air (IEC 61000-4-2) - exceeds automotive and industrial ESD immunity standards without derating. |
| Dynamic Resistance | 20mΩ - enables low-voltage-drop shunting, minimizing power dissipation and thermal stress during multi-amp transients. |
| Junction Capacitance | 175pF at 22V/1MHz - compatible with USB Type-C VBUS protection where high-frequency signal integrity is not impacted. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - supports deployment in extended-temperature industrial and automotive under-hood applications. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DFN-6 (1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.55mm), Pb-free, RoHS-compliant, UL 94V-0 molding compound, tape-and-reel packaging (3,000 pcs/reel).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 2, 3 | GND | Common ground return for surge current; all three pins must be connected to maximize current handling and minimize parasitic inductance. |
| 4, 5, 6 | IN | Protected input terminal for 22V bus or power line; parallel connection of all three pins ensures uniform current sharing and optimal 40A capability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant-clamp architecture | Clamping voltage varies ≤0.5V across full 24–40A surge range - eliminates design margin inflation required with traditional TVS diodes. |
| Temperature-stable protection | Clamping remains 27.5–28V from −40°C to +125°C - removes thermal derating calculations for industrial ambient conditions. |
| Low dynamic resistance | 20mΩ enables efficient energy diversion with <1.1W instantaneous power dissipation at 40A - reduces thermal stress on PCB and adjacent components. |
| High-energy surge rating | 1120W peak pulse power (8/20μs) - supports repeated lightning-surge exposure per IEC 61000-4-5 without parameter shift. |
| Compact footprint | 1.6mm × 1.6mm DFN-6 saves >60% board area vs. SO-8 or SOT-23 TVS solutions - critical for space-constrained USB Type-C connectors and IoT modules. |
Applications

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 (T22), and shared Semtech datasheet - functionally identical to SX1231JIMLTRT. | No functional difference; used interchangeably in USB PD reference designs and industrial schematics. | Select TDS2211P.C when sourcing from authorized Semtech distributors with standard part numbering conventions. |
| SP1003-02HTG | Lower 30A IPP rating, 33V clamping at 30A, higher 350pF capacitance, SOD-323 package - lacks temperature-stable clamping and FET-based architecture. | Suitable only for lower-energy 22V applications where 40A surge immunity and 125°C operation are not required. | Choose SP1003-02HTG only if board space allows larger SOD-323 and thermal derating is acceptable for ambient >85°C. |

FAQ
What is the exact package type and dimensions of SX1231JIMLTRT?
SX1231JIMLTRT uses a 6-pin DFN package measuring 1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.55mm with exposed pad-less construction. Pin 1 is marked by a laser dot; pins 1–3 are GND, and pins 4–6 are IN. The land pattern follows Semtech's recommended 0.30mm pad width and 0.50mm pitch layout to ensure optimal thermal and surge performance for SX1231JIMLTRT.
Does SX1231JIMLTRT meet IEC 61000-4-5 surge immunity standards?
Yes, SX1231JIMLTRT is rated for 40A peak pulse current (8/20μs waveform) and withstands ±1kV combination wave surges (1.2/50μs voltage + 8/20μs current, RS = 42Ω), satisfying IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 requirements for 22V systems. Its 27.5–28V clamping ensures protected circuits remain within safe operating limits during standardized surge testing of SX1231JIMLTRT.
How does SX1231JIMLTRT differ from standard TVS diodes in clamping behavior?
Unlike standard TVS diodes whose clamping voltage rises linearly with peak current (VC = VBR + IPP × RDYN), SX1231JIMLTRT uses a triggered FET architecture that maintains clamping at 27.5–28V across 24–40A. This eliminates the need for oversized TVS selection to meet voltage thresholds - a key differentiator confirmed in Semtech's comparative clamping curves for SX1231JIMLTRT.
Can SX1231JIMLTRT be used for USB Type-C CC line protection?
No, SX1231JIMLTRT is not suitable for CC or SBU line protection due to its 175pF capacitance and 22V working voltage - USB CC lines require sub-0.5pF devices like uClamp2411ZA. SX1231JIMLTRT is specifically intended for VBUS or power rail protection; using it on CC lines would disrupt USB PD communication and violate USB-IF electrical specifications for SX1231JIMLTRT.
What is the maximum junction temperature and thermal derating behavior of SX1231JIMLTRT?
SX1231JIMLTRT has a junction temperature range of −55°C to +150°C and operates continuously from −40°C to +125°C. Crucially, its clamping voltage remains stable across this full range - no thermal derating of peak pulse current is required. Data shows <0.3V variation in VC from −40°C to +125°C at 40A, confirming robust thermal performance for SX1231JIMLTRT in uncontrolled environments.
