Product details
Overview
TMPG06-9.1A-E3/73 from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional automotive-grade transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in MPG06 package, featuring 9.1 V breakdown voltage (VBR = 8.65–9.55 V at 1 mA), 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 µs), 22.4 V clamping voltage at 50 A IPPM, and 185 °C max junction temperature - deployed for surge protection on sensor signal lines and MOSFET gate drivers in automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the TMPG06-9.1A-E3/73 datasheet, TMPG06-9.1A-E3/73 pinout, TMPG06-9.1A-E3/73 application, or TMPG06-9.1A-E3/73 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage vs. protected IC's absolute maximum rating, IPPM margin against expected surge energy, thermal derating above 25 °C, and AEC-Q101 qualification status for automotive deployment.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses patented PAR® construction to deliver low incremental surge resistance and fast response time (<1 ps), enabling effective suppression of ESD and inductive switching transients. Its unidirectional polarity and 1.0 µA reverse leakage at 7.78 V (VWM) support reliable operation in DC-biased signal paths.
The device operates across –65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature range and maintains stable VBR with 0.068 %/°C tempco. It meets RoHS 2002/95/EC and WEEE 2002/96/EC, and its matte tin-plated leads comply with J-STD-002B and JESD22-B102D solderability standards.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 8.65 V / 9.55 V at 1 mA - defines minimum overvoltage threshold before clamping activation |
| VWM | 7.78 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage without significant leakage |
| VC @ IPPM | 22.4 V at 50 A - clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge, must stay below protected device's absolute max rating |
| PPPM | 400 W - peak pulse power handling capability under standardized 10/1000 µs waveform |
| IFSM | 40 A - non-repetitive forward surge current tolerance (8.3 ms half-sine) |
| TJ max | +185 °C - enables placement near high-temperature components like power MOSFETs in engine bay modules |
| Leakage @ VWM | 10 µA - ensures minimal loading on low-power sensor bias networks |

Applications
| Automotive Sensor Protection | Industrial Motor Drive Gate Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting analog output signals from crankshaft position sensors exposed to load dump and alternator ripple. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional shunt TVS placed between sensor output and ground to clamp transients before reaching ADC input. Use Value: Clamps surges up to 22.4 V while maintaining <10 µA leakage at 7.78 V, preserving signal integrity and preventing ADC saturation. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding gate drive traces of 40 V N-channel MOSFETs in BLDC motor inverters subject to inductive kickback. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Fast-response TVS connected from gate to source to limit VGS overshoot during switching transitions. Use Value: Sub-nanosecond response and 22.4 V clamping prevent gate oxide breakdown while surviving 40 A IFSM surge events. |
| Telecom Line Interface Protection | Computer Peripheral Port Protection |
Use Scenario: Shielding RS-485 transceiver inputs in base station backhaul equipment from lightning-induced surges on long cable runs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS installed on differential pair lines referenced to local ground plane. Use Value: 400 W PPPM rating and 22.4 V clamping ensure compliance with ITU-T K.21 basic protection level without adding capacitance that degrades 10 Mbps signaling. |
Use Scenario: Guarding USB 2.0 D+ and D− lines in docking stations against ESD events per IEC 61000-4-2 ±15 kV contact discharge. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance TVS placed inline with data lines to divert ESD current to ground before reaching PHY IC. Use Value: 10 µA leakage at 7.78 V avoids pull-up/pull-down interference; 22.4 V clamping stays below USB 2.0 receiver's 3.6 V abs max rating. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ9.0A | Lower PPPM (400 W same), higher VC (23.0 V @ 50 A), SMA package (larger footprint, lower thermal mass) | Not AEC-Q101 qualified; suitable for commercial/industrial use only | Select if cost sensitivity outweighs automotive qualification and board space allows SMA footprint |
| TPSMF9.0A | Same VBR range, lower VC (21.2 V @ 50 A), SOD-123FL package (smaller, lower profile) | Limited thermal dissipation (PD = 0.6 W); not rated for 185 °C operation | Prefer for space-constrained consumer designs where peak ambient <125 °C and surge duty cycle is light |
Compared with TMPG06-9.1A-E3/73, SMAJ9.0A offers identical surge rating but lacks automotive qualification and thermal robustness, while TPSMF9.0A trades junction temperature capability and power handling for miniaturization - making TMPG06-9.1A-E3/73 optimal for high-reliability, high-temperature automotive signal line protection.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TMPG06-9.1A-E3/73 at its rated peak pulse current?
The TMPG06-9.1A-E3/73 has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 22.4 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 50 A under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C and ensures the protected circuit remains below critical voltage thresholds during surge events. The TMPG06-9.1A-E3/73 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range due to its low 0.068 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient.
Is the TMPG06-9.1A-E3/73 qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TMPG06-9.1A-E3/73 carries the E3/73 suffix indicating commercial-grade AEC-Q101 qualification. It is tested and certified for use in automotive electronics, including engine control units, body modules, and ADAS sensor interfaces. The TMPG06-9.1A-E3/73 supports junction temperatures up to +185 °C and meets stringent reliability requirements for vibration, thermal cycling, and humidity exposure defined in AEC-Q101.
What does the "A" in TMPG06-9.1A-E3/73 signify?
The "A" suffix in TMPG06-9.1A-E3/73 denotes a tighter breakdown voltage tolerance: VBR is specified between 8.65 V and 9.55 V at 1 mA test current, compared to 8.19–10.0 V for the non-A variant. This improved consistency enables more precise overvoltage protection design margins in safety-critical systems. The TMPG06-9.1A-E3/73 retains all other electrical and mechanical specifications of the base TMPG06-9.1 family.
Can the TMPG06-9.1A-E3/73 be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, the TMPG06-9.1A-E3/73 is unidirectional only, as explicitly stated in its datasheet features. It conducts in reverse bias to clamp positive transients to ground and blocks forward current above ~3.5 V. For bidirectional protection (e.g., AC lines or differential pairs), two unidirectional devices or a dedicated bidirectional TVS such as SMBJ9.0CA would be required. The TMPG06-9.1A-E3/73 polarity is marked by a cathode band and must be oriented accordingly in PCB layout.
What is the maximum reverse leakage current of the TMPG06-9.1A-E3/73 at its working voltage?
The TMPG06-9.1A-E3/73 exhibits a maximum reverse leakage current (ID) of 10.0 µA at its stand-off voltage (VWM) of 7.78 V and ambient temperature of 25 °C. At elevated temperature (TJ = 150 °C), leakage rises to 50.0 µA - still within acceptable limits for most sensor bias and low-power interface applications. This low leakage ensures minimal impact on precision analog circuits and battery-powered systems where quiescent current matters.
