Product details
Overview
TLD8S28AH from Taiwan Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-218AB package, rated for 28 V working stand-off voltage, 31.1–34.4 V breakdown voltage at 5 mA, 45.4 V clamping voltage at 145 A peak impulse current, and 6600 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), designed for automotive load dump surge protection in 12 V/24 V systems.
For engineers reviewing the TLD8S28AH datasheet, TLD8S28AH pinout, TLD8S28AH application, or TLD8S28AH equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, 175 °C junction capability, ISO 7637-2 compliance, DO-218AB thermal performance (RθJC = 0.8 °C/W), and unidirectional polarity marking for correct PCB orientation in high-reliability automotive power rails.
Technical Context
The TLD8S28AH operates as a unidirectional avalanche diode with precise breakdown voltage tolerance (±5.3% at 25 °C) and low temperature coefficient (0.089 %/°C), enabling stable clamping across automotive temperature ranges (−55 to +175 °C). Its junction passivation design ensures robust reliability under repeated surge stress.
It meets ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a/b (load dump) and ISO 16750-2 surge requirements when mounted on copper pads per JEDEC DO-218AB layout guidelines, with thermal derating defined up to 175 °C junction temperature and 8 W steady-state dissipation capability.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VWM | 28.0 V - Maximum continuous reverse operating voltage before leakage exceeds 10 µA; defines safe DC rail margin for 24 V automotive systems. |
| VBR min/max | 31.1 V / 34.4 V at IT = 5 mA - Tight breakdown range ensures predictable turn-on during transients without premature conduction. |
| VC @ IPPM | 45.4 V at 145 A (10/1000 µs) - Clamping voltage limits downstream IC stress during load dump events per ISO 7637-2. |
| PPPM | 6600 W (10/1000 µs), 5200 W (10/10000 µs) - High single-pulse energy handling supports harsh automotive surge profiles. |
| TJ max | +175 °C - Enables placement near hot engine-control electronics without thermal derating penalties. |
| RθJC | 0.8 °C/W - Low junction-to-case thermal resistance allows effective heatsinking via PCB copper pour in DO-218AB footprint. |

|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protects microcontroller, CAN transceivers, and analog sensors from load dump surges during alternator regulation failure in 12 V/24 V vehicles. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between battery+ and GND, clamping transients before they reach LDOs and MCU VDD pins. Use Value: Limits peak rail voltage to ≤45.4 V during 145 A surges, preventing latch-up or oxide breakdown in 3.3 V/5 V logic supplies. | Use Scenario: Shields door module power inputs from jump-start spikes and battery reversal transients in multi-voltage vehicle architectures. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary surge clamp on fused 24 V supply line feeding motor drivers and LIN transceivers.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ28A | Lower PPPM (400 W), SMA package (RθJC ≈ 40 °C/W), VC = 45.4 V at 88.2 A | Not suitable for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5; limited to lower-energy transients in non-automotive industrial use | Select only if surge energy is <500 W and AEC-Q101 is not required. |
| SMCJ28A | Same DO-214AB package, PPPM = 1500 W, VC = 45.4 V at 33.1 A, RθJC ≈ 10 °C/W | Lacks AEC-Q101 qualification and 175 °C rating; fails ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5b validation | Acceptable for commercial automotive accessories but not safety-critical ECUs. |
Compared with SMAJ28A and SMCJ28A, the TLD8S28AH delivers 4.4× higher peak power handling and certified automotive reliability, making it the only option among the three qualified for engine bay–mounted load dump protection per OEM specifications.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TLD8S28AH under standard surge conditions?
The TLD8S28AH has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 45.4 V when subjected to a 10/1000 µs waveform with a peak impulse current (IPPM) of 145 A. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuitry during worst-case load dump events. The TLD8S28AH maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range due to its low VBR temperature coefficient of 0.089 %/°C.
Is the TLD8S28AH qualified for automotive applications per AEC-Q101?
Yes, the TLD8S28AH is fully AEC-Q101 qualified, having passed all stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), temperature cycling, and surge endurance. It is explicitly rated for TJ = −55 to +175 °C and meets moisture sensitivity level 1 per J-STD-020, confirming suitability for under-hood automotive environments. The TLD8S28AH datasheet revision E2310 documents full AEC-Q101 compliance for this specific part number.
What package type does the TLD8S28AH use, and what are its key mechanical features?
The TLD8S28AH uses the DO-218AB surface-mount package, featuring a molded plastic body rated UL 94V-0, matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability, and cathode polarity marking. Its dimensions are 16.0 × 5.5 × 2.5 mm (L × W × H), with a typical weight of 2.691 g. The package supports high thermal conductivity via direct case-to-PCB contact and is qualified for JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
Does the TLD8S28AH meet ISO 7637-2 and ISO 16750-2 surge standards?
Yes, the TLD8S28AH meets both ISO 7637-2 (Pulse 5a and 5b) and ISO 16750-2 surge immunity requirements when implemented per recommended PCB layout and thermal design. Its 6600 W peak pulse power rating and 175 °C junction capability enable reliable operation under the most severe load dump waveforms defined in these standards. Test data is validated per manufacturer's application notes and internal qualification reports.
How does the TLD8S28AH differ from bidirectional variants like TLD8S28CAH?
The TLD8S28AH is unidirectional, conducting only in reverse bias to protect positive supply rails to ground, whereas TLD8S28CAH is bidirectional and protects AC-coupled or dual-polarity lines. The TLD8S28AH has identical VWM, VBR, and VC specs but lacks forward conduction capability. Its marking code "TLD8S28A" and cathode band confirm unidirectional polarity, making it unsuitable for signal-line protection where bidirectional clamping is required.
