Product details
Overview
TPSMP11HE3/85A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional automotive-grade transient voltage suppressor (TVS) in DO-220AA (SMP) package, with 9.9 V to 12.1 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 18.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM), and 16.2 V clamping voltage (VC) at IPPM, designed for robust ESD and surge protection of sensor signal lines in automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMP11HE3/85A datasheet, TPSMP11HE3/85A pinout, TPSMP11HE3/85A application, or TPSMP11HE3/85A equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q101 qualification, 1.0 mm profile, 185 °C max junction temperature, and DO-220AA mechanical compatibility with automated SMT placement.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses patented PAR oxide-passivated chip construction to achieve low incremental surge resistance and fast response time (<1 ns), enabling effective suppression of ISO 7637-2 and ISO 16750-2 transients in automotive power and signal domains. Its unidirectional configuration supports DC-biased lines such as LIN bus or sensor supply rails.
The device operates across -65 °C to +185 °C, with 2.5 W steady-state power dissipation on infinite heatsink and 10 µA max reverse leakage at 8.92 V stand-off voltage - optimized for low-power sensor interfaces where leakage-induced offset must be minimized.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 9.9 V / 12.1 V - defines minimum trigger threshold and maximum variation tolerance under 1 mA test current |
| VC @ IPPM | 16.2 V - clamping voltage during 18.5 A 10/1000 µs surge, limiting downstream IC stress |
| IPPM | 18.5 A - peak surge current capability with 10/1000 µs waveform, derated above 25 °C ambient |
| VWM | 8.92 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before leakage exceeds 2 µA |
| TJ max | +185 °C - enables operation in engine bay or transmission control modules without thermal derating |
| Package | DO-220AA (SMP) - 1.0 mm height, 2.67 mm × 1.88 mm footprint, MSL Level 1, JESD201 Class 2 whisker compliant |
Pinout & Package
DO-220AA (SMP) surface-mount package with cathode indicated by color band; two-terminal unidirectional configuration. Mounting requires 5.0 × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal per JEDEC standard for thermal and surge performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |

Applications
| Automotive Sensor Protection | LIN Bus Interface Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting analog output lines of pressure, temperature, and position sensors in engine control units exposed to load dump and jump-start transients. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between sensor output and microcontroller ADC input to clamp surges while maintaining signal integrity. Use Value: Limits voltage excursion to ≤16.2 V during 18.5 A transients, preventing ADC saturation and latch-up in 3.3 V or 5 V microcontrollers. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding LIN transceiver pins against ESD events and battery reversal-induced reverse bias in door module networks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated TVS connected between LIN bus line and ground, operating below 8.92 V nominal voltage with <2 µA leakage. Use Value: Maintains LIN bus signal fidelity with minimal capacitive loading (typ. <100 pF) and prevents false wake-up from leakage-induced voltage shift. |
| Body Control Module Power Input | Camera Module Signal Line Protection |
Use Scenario: Secondary surge protection on 12 V supply rail of BCMs after primary fuse and LC filter, handling residual ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a/b energy. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Parallel-connected TVS absorbing remaining surge energy not filtered upstream, thermally coupled to PCB copper pour. Use Value: Withstands 40 A non-repetitive forward surge (IFSM) and delivers 2.5 W steady-state dissipation at 75 °C ambient without derating. |
Use Scenario: Protecting MIPI CSI-2 differential pairs and I²C configuration lines in surround-view camera modules subjected to cable discharge events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Discrete unidirectional TVS on each signal line, leveraging low 1.0 mm height to avoid interference with flex circuit bending radius. Use Value: Meets JESD22-B102 solderability and JESD201 Class 2 whisker requirements for high-reliability imaging systems in automotive applications. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ11A-E3/5AT | DO-214AC (SMA) package; 11.1 V VBR min; 19.9 V VC; 1000 W PPPM rating but larger 2.5 mm height | Higher clamping voltage and less compact form factor - suitable where board height >1.0 mm is acceptable and higher surge margin is needed | Select SMAJ11A-E3/5AT when system-level testing shows TPSMP11HE3/85A clamping margin is insufficient for worst-case transients |
| TPSMP11AHE3/85A | Narrower VBR range (10.5 V–11.6 V); tighter 1.0 V tolerance; same DO-220AA package and thermal specs | Improved VBR consistency for designs requiring precise turn-on timing, e.g., in multi-stage protection schemes with upstream MOVs | Choose TPSMP11AHE3/85A when VBR distribution control is critical and design can accommodate tighter specification limits |
Compared with SMAJ11A-E3/5AT and TPSMP11AHE3/85A, the TPSMP11HE3/85A offers the lowest profile (1.0 mm) and broadest VBR range (9.9–12.1 V), making it optimal for height-sensitive automotive modules where moderate clamping precision suffices.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of the TPSMP11HE3/85A under maximum rated surge current?
The TPSMP11HE3/85A has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 16.2 V when subjected to its rated 18.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM) using a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C with specified PCB pad layout and represents the upper limit of voltage seen by protected circuitry during transient events.
Is the TPSMP11HE3/85A suitable for bidirectional signal line protection?
No, the TPSMP11HE3/85A is a unidirectional TVS diode and is not suitable for bidirectional signal lines such as USB or CAN. Its design assumes a DC-biased line with defined polarity; using it on AC-coupled or symmetrical lines would result in improper clamping behavior and potential failure. For bidirectional protection, consider Vishay's SMBJ11CA or similar devices.
Does the TPSMP11HE3/85A meet AEC-Q101 requirements for automotive use?
Yes, the TPSMP11HE3/85A is explicitly qualified to AEC-Q101 standards for automotive discrete semiconductors. The HE3 suffix denotes high-reliability, automotive-grade construction, and the device undergoes stress testing including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and surge endurance per the AEC-Q101-004 and AEC-Q101-007 specifications.
What is the maximum operating temperature for the TPSMP11HE3/85A junction?
The TPSMP11HE3/85A has a maximum junction temperature (TJ) rating of +185 °C, verified per AEC-Q101 thermal characterization protocols. This allows reliable operation in under-hood environments and near high-power components without additional thermal derating beyond the published pulse derating curve.
How does the DO-220AA package of the TPSMP11HE3/85A compare to SMA (DO-214AC) in terms of PCB footprint and thermal performance?
The DO-220AA package of the TPSMP11HE3/85A measures 2.67 mm × 1.88 mm with 1.0 mm height, versus SMA's 4.5 mm × 2.7 mm × 2.5 mm - offering ~55 % smaller footprint and 60 % lower profile. Thermal resistance to PCB is higher in DO-220AA due to reduced copper contact area, so the TPSMP11HE3/85A relies on optimized 5.0 × 5.0 mm pad layout per datasheet Figure 2 to achieve its rated 2.5 W dissipation.
