Product details
Overview
TPSMP22AHE3/85A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional automotive-grade transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-220AA (SMP) package, with 20.9–23.1 V breakdown voltage, 30.6 V clamping voltage at 13.1 A peak pulse current, and 400 W peak pulse power rating for VBR ≥ 13 V. It protects sensor signal lines and drive transistors in automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMP22AHE3/85A datasheet, TPSMP22AHE3/85A pinout, TPSMP22AHE3/85A application, or TPSMP22AHE3/85A equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q101 qualification, 1.0 mm profile for space-constrained PCBs, low incremental surge resistance, and RoHS-compliant matte tin terminals meeting JESD22-B102 solderability.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses Vishay's patented PAR oxide-passivated chip construction to achieve excellent clamping capability and very fast response time (<1 ns), enabling effective suppression of ESD and load-dump transients per ISO 7637-2 and IEC 61000-4-2. Its unidirectional configuration provides forward conduction path during overvoltage events on positive-polarity lines.
Rated for operation from –65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature, the device meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 with 260 °C lead-free reflow peak, and is qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive under-hood and body-control applications requiring high reliability and stable parametric performance across temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 20.9 V / 23.1 V - Ensures reliable triggering above system nominal voltage while avoiding false clamping during normal operation |
| VC @ IPPM | 30.6 V - Clamps transients to safe levels for downstream 3.3 V or 5 V logic interfaces when subjected to 13.1 A 10/1000 µs surge |
| PPPM | 400 W - Supports robust protection against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) in 12 V automotive systems |
| IFSM | 40 A - Withstands repetitive 10 ms half-sine surges without degradation, critical for motor driver gate protection |
| TJ max | +185 °C - Enables placement near heat sources (e.g., power modules) without derating concerns |
| VWM | 18.8 V - Standoff voltage marginally below VBR, ensuring no leakage conduction during 16 V battery transients |
| IR @ VWM | 1.0 µA - Ultra-low reverse leakage preserves signal integrity in high-impedance sensor bias networks |
Pinout & Package
DO-220AA (SMP) surface-mount package with 1.0 mm typical height, 2.67 mm × 1.88 mm footprint, and cathode indicated by color band. Matte tin-plated leads meet J-STD-002 and JESD22-B102 solderability standards; HE3 suffix denotes AEC-Q101 qualification and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Current entry point during forward conduction | Connected to protected line (e.g., CAN_H, LIN, sensor output); must be routed with low-inductance trace |
| Cathode | Current exit point during clamping | Connected to ground plane or low-impedance return path; color band identifies this terminal |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Patented PAR oxide passivation | Enables stable VBR and low leakage over 1000+ thermal cycles without parameter drift |
| MSL Level 1 rating | Allows single-pass lead-free reflow at 260 °C without popcorn failure or delamination |
| Low profile (1.0 mm height) | Permits placement beneath connectors or in tight stacking configurations without mechanical interference |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validates reliability for automotive powertrain, chassis, and ADAS modules per stress test requirements |
| UL 94 V-0 molding compound | Prevents flame propagation in event of catastrophic failure under sustained overvoltage conditions |

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TPSMP22AHE3/85A under standard test conditions?
The TPSMP22AHE3/85A has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 30.6 V when subjected to its rated peak pulse current (IPPM) of 13.1 A using a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured at TA = 25 °C on FR-4 PCB with 5.0 × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal, and ensures downstream ICs remain within safe operating voltage limits during transient events.
Is the TPSMP22AHE3/85A qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the TPSMP22AHE3/85A is AEC-Q101 qualified and designated as high-reliability/automotive grade (suffix "A" and "HE3"). It meets stringent stress tests including temperature cycling, humidity bias, and mechanical shock, making it suitable for engine control units, transmission modules, and other under-hood automotive systems.
What does the "85A" in TPSMP22AHE3/85A indicate?
The "85A" suffix in TPSMP22AHE3/85A specifies the packaging format: 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel, containing 10,000 units per reel. This contrasts with "84A", which denotes 7-inch reels of 3,000 units. Both share identical electrical, thermal, and qualification characteristics.
How does the TPSMP22AHE3/85A compare to the non-A variant TPSMP22HE3/85A?
The TPSMP22AHE3/85A features tighter VBR tolerance (20.9–23.1 V) versus TPSMP22HE3/85A (19.8–24.2 V), lower leakage (1.0 µA vs. 5.0 µA at VWM), and full AEC-Q101 qualification. The "A" variant is intended for mission-critical automotive functions where parametric consistency and long-term reliability are mandatory.
Can the TPSMP22AHE3/85A be used in bidirectional configurations?
No, the TPSMP22AHE3/85A is unidirectional only, as confirmed in its datasheet features section. For bidirectional transient suppression (e.g., protecting AC-coupled or differential lines), a separate bidirectional TVS such as SMBJ22CA or an anti-parallel pair of unidirectional devices would be required instead of the TPSMP22AHE3/85A.
