Product details
Overview
T3V3S5-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a unidirectional surface-mount transient voltage suppression (TVS) diode designed for ESD protection in low-voltage signal lines. It features a 3.3 V reverse standoff voltage, 5.0 V minimum breakdown voltage at 1.0 mA, clamping voltage of 8.4 V at 5 A (8/20 µs), 220 pF typical capacitance at 0 V and 1 MHz, and is packaged in SOD523 for space-constrained USB, HDMI, and I²C interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the T3V3S5-7 datasheet, T3V3S5-7 pinout, T3V3S5-7 application, or T3V3S5-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 5 A surge, low capacitance for high-speed data integrity, unidirectional polarity for DC-biased lines, and SOD523 footprint compatibility with automated assembly.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamp, conducting only during negative transients relative to its cathode terminal. Its silicon avalanche structure delivers sub-nanosecond response time and stable clamping across temperature, validated per IEC61000-4-2 (±30 kV air/contact discharge).
Designed for low-capacitance signal line protection, it maintains 220 pF at 0 V bias-critical for preserving signal rise/fall times in 480 Mbps USB 2.0 and 3.4 Gbps HDMI 1.4a channels-while sustaining 300 mW power dissipation on FR-4 with recommended pad layout.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Standoff Voltage | 3.3 V - Maximum continuous DC or RMS signal voltage before leakage exceeds 1 µA. |
| Breakdown Voltage | 5.0 V min @ 1 mA - Ensures reliable conduction onset during ESD events without premature triggering. |
| Clamping Voltage | 8.4 V @ 5 A (8/20 µs) - Limits downstream IC stress to safe levels during 30 kV IEC61000-4-2 surges. |
| Total Capacitance | 220 pF @ 0 V, 1 MHz - Enables use on USB 2.0 and I²C without signal distortion or timing skew. |
| ESD Rating | ±30 kV IEC61000-4-2 - Meets industrial and consumer end-equipment immunity requirements. |
| Package | SOD523 - 1.25 mm × 0.85 mm footprint supports high-density PCB layouts and reflow assembly. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOD523 - ultra-compact surface-mount plastic package with cathode band marking; dimensions: 1.25 mm length × 0.85 mm width × 0.65 mm height; moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Signal Input / Protected Line | Connected to the line requiring ESD protection (e.g., USB D+, HDMI TMDS+); conducts during negative transients. |
| Cathode | Reference / Ground Return | Connected to system ground or DC bias rail; defines unidirectional clamping direction and polarity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Low Clamping Voltage | 8.4 V at 5 A ensures protected ICs (e.g., USB PHYs) remain below absolute maximum ratings during surge events. |
| High ESD Robustness | ±30 kV IEC61000-4-2 air/contact discharge rating eliminates need for secondary board-level protection in many designs. |
| Signal Integrity Preservation | 220 pF capacitance minimizes insertion loss and reflection on 480 Mbps USB 2.0 differential pairs. |
| Lead-Free & Green Compliance | Fully RoHS 3 compliant with <900 ppm Br/Cl and <1000 ppm Sb-meets automotive and medical regulatory requirements. |
Applications
| USB 2.0 Data Lines | HDMI 1.4a TMDS Channels |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting D+ and D− pins of USB 2.0 transceivers against contact ESD during cable insertion. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS clamp placed directly at connector, shunting surge current to ground before reaching PHY. Use Value: Prevents latch-up or gate oxide damage in 3.3 V tolerant PHYs while maintaining 480 Mbps eye diagram integrity. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding TMDS+ and TMDS− differential pairs in HDMI source devices against hot-plug ESD. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance TVS mounted adjacent to HDMI connector, referenced to chassis ground. Use Value: Maintains 3.4 Gbps signal fidelity by limiting capacitance to 220 pF and clamping transients to ≤8.4 V. |
| I²C Bus Lines | Industrial Sensor Interfaces |
Use Scenario: Shielding SDA/SCL lines of microcontrollers and EEPROMs in embedded systems from handling ESD. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectionally protected via two unidirectional devices (anode-to-line, cathode-to-ground), enabling DC bias preservation. Use Value: Allows operation up to 400 kHz clock rate without capacitive loading-induced timing violations. | Use Scenario: Protecting analog sensor outputs (e.g., 0–3.3 V pressure transducers) in factory automation equipment. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamp placed between sensor output and ADC input, referenced to system ground. Use Value: Prevents ADC saturation or microcontroller reset during 8 kV HBM ESD events on exposed field wiring. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ3.3A | DO-214AC package (4.5 mm × 2.7 mm); 100 pF capacitance; 12.3 V clamping @ 5 A. | Larger footprint; higher clamping voltage limits use in 3.3 V logic but suits higher-power industrial I/O. | Select when board space allows larger package and lower capacitance is prioritized over clamping tightness. |
| TPD2E001DRYR | Quad-channel, 15 pF per channel, 3.6 V standoff; integrated ESD array in UQFN-10. | Multi-line protection in single device; optimized for high-speed digital buses with strict capacitance budgets. | Choose for space-constrained multi-signal protection where discrete placement of four T3V3S5-7 units is impractical. |
Compared with SMAJ3.3A and TPD2E001DRYR, T3V3S5-7 offers the tightest clamping (8.4 V) in the smallest footprint (SOD523), making it optimal for single-line, low-voltage, high-density ESD protection where surge energy is limited to IEC61000-4-2 levels.

FAQ
Is T3V3S5-7 still in active production?
No-T3V3S5-7 is officially obsolete and discontinued per Diodes Incorporated's DS31112 Rev. 14-2 (December 2021). Aetrix Electronics maintains legacy inventory and provides last-time-buy support, including full traceability and documentation for ongoing production programs.
What is the polarity configuration of T3V3S5-7?
T3V3S5-7 is a unidirectional TVS diode with cathode-band marking indicating the cathode terminal. It clamps only negative transients relative to the cathode; the anode connects to the protected line, and the cathode connects to ground or DC reference.
Can T3V3S5-7 be used for bidirectional signal lines like USB D+/D−?
Yes-two T3V3S5-7 devices can protect a differential pair: one with anode on D+, cathode to ground; another with anode on D−, cathode to ground. This preserves DC bias while providing symmetric ±30 kV ESD protection without adding capacitance imbalance.
Does T3V3S5-7 require derating at elevated ambient temperatures?
Yes-its 300 mW power dissipation is rated at +25°C ambient. Derating follows RθJA = 417°C/W: maximum allowable power drops linearly to ~180 mW at +85°C ambient, requiring verification of worst-case surge repetition rate and thermal environment in final layout.
