Product details
Overview
SX9328ICSTRT from Semtech is a transient diverting suppressor (TDS) designed for high-energy EOS protection of 22V-rated 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, and 20mΩ dynamic resistance - deployed in USB Type-C PD input protection and industrial load switch front-end circuits.
For engineers reviewing the SX9328ICSTRT datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, this page delivers verified electrical specs, DFN-6 package layout guidance, real-world clamping stability across temperature and current, and validated alternatives for 22V bus protection in USB PD, IoT, and industrial equipment designs.
Technical Context
The SX9328ICSTRT 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 - 27.5–28V across 24–40A IPP and −40°C to +125°C - due to decreasing RDS(on) under surge conditions.
It operates with 22V reverse stand-off voltage (VRWM), 25–27.9V breakdown (VBR at 1mA), and exhibits only 175pF junction capacitance at 22V/1MHz - enabling use on high-speed buses without signal integrity degradation. Its solid-state architecture avoids thermal runaway and delivers stable performance where ambient temperature fluctuates.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage | 22V reverse stand-off - supports nominal 20V USB PD bus and withstands up to 22V continuous operation. |
| Clamping Voltage | 27.5–28V at 40A (8/20μs + 1.2/50μs combo waveform) - stays below 28V across full rated surge range, protecting downstream 30V-tolerant ICs. |
| Peak Pulse Current | 40A (8/20μs) - meets IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 surge immunity for industrial equipment and USB PD interfaces. |
| ESD Withstand | ±30kV contact & air (IEC 61000-4-2) - exceeds automotive and industrial ESD requirements without external staging. |
| Dynamic Resistance | 20mΩ - enables low-voltage-drop shunting, minimizing energy dissipation in the device and reducing thermal stress. |
| Junction Capacitance | 175pF at 22V/1MHz - compatible with USB Type-C VBUS protection without degrading power delivery signaling. |
| Operating Temp | −40°C to +125°C - maintains clamping stability across full industrial temperature range, unlike TVS diodes whose VC rises with temperature. |
Pinout & Package
Package: DFN 1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.55mm, 6-lead, Pb-free, RoHS-compliant, UL 94V-0 molding compound. 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 maximize current handling and minimize parasitic inductance. |
| 4, 5, 6 | IN | Protected line input - connects directly to VBUS or power/data line; all three pins are internally paralleled for low-inductance, high-current path to GND. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant-clamp architecture | Clamping voltage deviates ≤0.5V from 27.5V to 28V across 24–40A and −40°C to +125°C - eliminates derating uncertainty in thermal design. |
| Surge-rated FET protection | Replaces fragile pn-junction TVS with robust MOSFET-based shunt - avoids thermal runaway and enables repeatable 40A surge survival. |
| Low dynamic resistance | 20mΩ RDYN ensures <1V IR drop at 40A - reduces localized heating and allows smaller PCB copper areas vs. TVS solutions. |
| High EFT immunity | ±4kV per IEC 61000-4-4 (5/50ns, 100kHz/5kHz) - protects against burst noise in motor drives and industrial control I/O. |
| Space-optimized footprint | 1.6mm × 1.6mm DFN saves >60% board area vs. SOT-23 or SOIC TVS - critical for compact USB Type-C receptacle layouts. |
Applications
| USB Type-C Power Delivery Bus Protection | Industrial Load Switch Input Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting the VBUS line of a USB Type-C port supporting up to 20V/5A PD negotiation, exposed to lightning-induced surges and hot-plug ESD. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary EOS shunt suppressor placed between connector and load switch input - activates within nanoseconds to clamp transients before they reach PD controller or e-fuse. Use Value: Maintains 27.5–28V clamping across temperature and current, ensuring PD controller ICs (e.g., FUSB302, TUSB7320) remain below absolute maximum ratings even at 125°C ambient. |
Use Scenario: Front-end protection for industrial-grade load switches (e.g., ON Semiconductor NIS513x, TI TPS25982) powering sensors, actuators, or remote meters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-energy transient diverter placed upstream of the load switch's VIN pin - absorbs 40A surges before internal FET gate oxide or drain-source junction fails. Use Value: Prevents catastrophic failure of the load switch during 1kV/42Ω IEC 61000-4-5 surges by limiting voltage across its input to ≤28V, extending field reliability in harsh environments. |
| IoT Edge Node Power Rail Protection | Storage Device 22V Backup Supply Protection |
Use Scenario: Securing 22V auxiliary power rails in battery-backed IoT gateways or cellular routers subjected to ESD during field servicing and conducted surges via AC adapters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-component, low-capacitance protector for always-on 22V supply feeding PMICs or MCU power domains - replaces multi-device TVS+filter stacks. Use Value: 175pF capacitance avoids disrupting 100kHz–1MHz DC-DC feedback loops; ±30kV ESD rating eliminates need for secondary ESD staging on service ports. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding 22V backup supplies in enterprise SSDs or NAS enclosures where supercapacitor or LiFePO4 banks feed critical firmware retention circuits. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standby-mode surge protector on backup rail input - remains inactive below 22V but clamps fast-rising transients from shared power planes or hot-swap events. Use Value: 130–600nA leakage at 22V ensures minimal standby current drain (<1µA total), preserving weeks of backup runtime while delivering 40A surge capability. |
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), same Semtech manufacturing lot traceability. | No functional difference - TDS2211P.C is the official Semtech orderable part number; SX9328ICSTRT is a valid branded variant used in distribution channels. | Select TDS2211P.C for direct BOM alignment with Semtech reference designs and full datasheet compliance documentation. |
| SP1003-02HTG | Lower 30A IPP rating, higher 33V clamping at 30A, 22V VRWM, SOD-323 package - uses traditional TVS architecture with voltage-dependent clamping. | Limited to lower-energy applications; clamping rises with temperature and current - requires thermal derating above 85°C. | Choose SP1003-02HTG only if board space permits larger SOD-323 footprint and system-level testing confirms 33V clamping is acceptable for downstream ICs. |
Compared with SX9328ICSTRT, TDS2211P.C offers identical performance and sourcing continuity, while SP1003-02HTG trades clamping stability and surge margin for broader distributor availability - making SX9328ICSTRT optimal for thermally constrained, high-reliability 22V bus protection where consistent sub-28V clamping is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the exact package type and dimensions of SX9328ICSTRT?
SX9328ICSTRT uses a DFN package measuring 1.6mm × 1.6mm × 0.55mm with 6 leads. Pins 1–3 are GND; pins 4–6 are IN. The package is Pb-free, RoHS-compliant, and carries UL 94V-0 flammability rating. Land pattern and solder mask recommendations are documented in Semtech's official DFN-6 outline drawing for SX9328ICSTRT.
Does SX9328ICSTRT meet IEC 61000-4-5 surge immunity standards?
Yes, SX9328ICSTRT is rated for 40A peak pulse current with 8/20μs waveform per IEC 61000-4-5, and supports ±1kV unsymmetrical surge testing (1.2/50μs voltage, 8/20μs current, RS = 42Ω). Its 27.5–28V clamping ensures protected circuits remain within safe operating limits during standardized industrial surge events.
How does SX9328ICSTRT differ from standard TVS diodes in clamping behavior?
Unlike standard TVS diodes - whose clamping voltage rises linearly with peak current (VC = VBR + IPP × RDYN) - SX9328ICSTRT uses a triggered FET architecture that maintains near-constant clamping (27.5–28V) from 24A to 40A and across −40°C to +125°C, eliminating thermal and current derating uncertainties in final design validation.
Can SX9328ICSTRT be used on high-speed data lines like USB SS or PCIe?
No - SX9328ICSTRT is intended for power or low-speed signal lines (e.g., VBUS, CC, SBU, load switch inputs), not high-speed differential pairs. Its 175pF junction capacitance would degrade signal integrity on SuperSpeed (5–10 Gbps) or PCIe lanes. For those, Semtech recommends low-capacitance devices like RClamp3371ZC (<0.25pF).
What is the maximum continuous reverse voltage SX9328ICSTRT can withstand?
SX9328ICSTRT has a reverse stand-off voltage (VRWM) of 22V - meaning it remains non-conductive and exhibits ≤600nA leakage up to 22V DC. It is rated for continuous operation at this voltage and is designed for systems where nominal bus voltage reaches 20V (e.g., USB PD 3.0 extended power range) with 2V safety margin.
