Product details
Overview
TPSMP22AHM3/85A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-220AA (SMP) package, designed for high-reliability automotive and industrial overvoltage protection. It features a 20.9 V to 23.1 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 30.6 V clamping voltage (VC) at 13.1 A peak pulse current (IPPM), 400 W peak pulse power (PPPM), and operates up to +185 °C junction temperature - ideal for protecting sensor signal lines and drive transistors against ESD and surge events.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMP22AHM3/85A datasheet, TPSMP22AHM3/85A pinout, TPSMP22AHM3/85A application, or TPSMP22AHM3/85A equivalent, this device delivers AEC-Q101 qualification, MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity, and low-profile 1.0 mm height for space-constrained PCB layouts in automotive ECUs and industrial I/O modules.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses passivated anisotropic rectifier technology optimized for low incremental surge resistance and fast response time (<1 ns), enabling effective suppression of transient threats per ISO 7637-2 and IEC 61000-4-2 standards. Its unidirectional polarity and 17.8 V stand-off voltage (VWM) allow integration in DC-biased signal or power rails without forward conduction during normal operation.
The DO-220AA package supports automated placement and meets UL 94 V-0 flammability rating with matte tin-plated leads compliant to J-STD-002 and JESD 22-B102. Thermal derating follows a defined curve above 25 °C ambient, maintaining 2.5 W steady-state power dissipation at 75 °C on infinite heatsink.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 20.9 V / 23.1 V - ensures reliable triggering above system operating voltage while avoiding false clamping |
| VWM | 17.8 V - maximum continuous reverse voltage before leakage exceeds 1 μA, compatible with 15–18 V supply rails |
| VC @ IPPM | 30.6 V at 13.1 A - limits downstream voltage stress during 10/1000 μs surge, protecting 3.3 V or 5 V logic interfaces |
| PPPM | 400 W - handles high-energy transients common in automotive load-dump and inductive switching scenarios |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - supports under-hood and industrial environments where ambient temperatures exceed 125 °C |
| IFSM | 40 A - withstands 10 ms half-sine surge without degradation, suitable for motor driver gate-drive protection |
| Leakage @ VWM | ≤1.0 μA at 25 °C - minimizes standby power loss in battery-powered sensor nodes |
Pinout & Package
DO-220AA (SMP) package: surface-mount, single-axis molded case with cathode band marking; overall dimensions 3.61 mm × 1.88 mm × 1.0 mm (L × W × H); matte tin-plated terminals; MSL Level 1, reflow-compatible up to 260 °C peak.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Applications
| Automotive Sensor Protection | Industrial I/O Interface |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protecting LIN bus or analog sensor outputs (e.g., pressure, temperature) in engine bay modules exposed to ISO 7637-2 pulses. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between signal line and ground to shunt transients before reaching MCU ADC or LIN transceiver input. Use Value: Clamps 30.6 V at 13.1 A, ensuring downstream ICs see <31 V during 10/1000 μs surges - within absolute maximum ratings of most automotive-grade analog front-ends. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding RS-485 or CAN FD data lines in programmable logic controllers subjected to EFT and surge per IEC 61000-4-4/5. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff voltage of 17.8 V allows compatibility with ±12 V differential signaling while suppressing common-mode spikes. Use Value: 400 W peak pulse power and 1.0 μA leakage enable robust protection without compromising signal integrity or increasing quiescent current in always-on field devices. |
| Motor Drive Gate Protection | Power Supply Input Stage |
|
Use Scenario: Shielding MOSFET gate drivers in BLDC inverters from inductive kickback during PWM switching transitions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Placed across gate-source terminals to clamp voltage spikes exceeding VGS abs max (typically ±20 V). Use Value: Fast response time and 30.6 V clamping limit gate overvoltage below destructive thresholds, preventing unintended turn-on or oxide damage. |
Use Scenario: Secondary-level surge suppression on 24 V DC input rails of industrial HMIs and embedded controllers after primary MOV filtering. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Final-stage TVS absorbing residual energy that passes through upstream filters and limiting rail voltage to safe levels. Use Value: 400 W PPPM and 185 °C rating ensure sustained reliability in hot, dusty enclosures where airflow is limited and thermal management is passive. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ22A-E3/5AT | DO-214AC (SMA) package; 22 V nominal VBR; 32.4 V VC @ 12.3 A; 400 W PPPM; same AEC-Q101 grade | Larger footprint (4.5 mm × 2.7 mm) and 2.2 mm height - less suitable for ultra-thin modules | Choose when legacy SMA layout exists or higher thermal mass is needed for repetitive surge duty cycles |
| TPSMA6.8A-Q | Same DO-220AA package; lower VBR (6.45–7.14 V); 10.5 V VC @ 26.5 A; 300 W PPPM; AEC-Q101 qualified | Optimized for 5 V systems (USB, MCU I/O); not rated for 24 V rail protection | Choose for low-voltage digital interface protection where tighter clamping and lower VWM are required |
Compared with SMAJ22A-E3/5AT and TPSMA6.8A-Q, the TPSMP22AHM3/85A provides identical surge capability in a 30 % smaller footprint and 55 % lower profile - critical for next-generation automotive domain controllers where PCB real estate and Z-height are constrained.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range of the TPSMP22AHM3/85A?
The TPSMP22AHM3/85A has a specified breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 20.9 V to 23.1 V at 1.0 mA test current, measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35. This range ensures consistent triggering behavior across production lots while accommodating thermal drift and process variation - critical for repeatable protection performance in automotive environments where ambient temperature swings widely.
Is the TPSMP22AHM3/85A suitable for bidirectional signal line protection?
No, the TPSMP22AHM3/85A is strictly unidirectional and must be used only in DC-biased applications where polarity is fixed - such as 24 V power inputs or single-ended sensor outputs. For bidirectional lines like USB D+/D− or RS-485 differential pairs, a dedicated bidirectional TVS (e.g., TPSMD22A) is required; using TPSMP22AHM3/85A in reverse-biased configuration would result in premature conduction and potential failure.
Does the TPSMP22AHM3/85A require a heatsink for 2.5 W continuous operation?
The 2.5 W steady-state power dissipation rating for TPSMP22AHM3/85A applies only when mounted on an infinite heatsink at 75 °C ambient. In standard FR-4 PCB layouts with recommended 5.0 mm × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal, derating is required - actual usable continuous power drops to ~0.8 W at 75 °C. The device is intended for transient, not continuous, power dissipation; sustained DC power should remain below 100 mW.
How does the 185 °C maximum junction temperature impact PCB layout for TPSMP22AHM3/85A?
The 185 °C TJmax rating of TPSMP22AHM3/85A allows placement near heat-generating components (e.g., power MOSFETs or DC-DC converters) without thermal shutdown risk, provided trace width and copper area meet Vishay's minimum pad recommendations. Layouts must avoid enclosing the device in thermally isolated zones - adequate copper pour and thermal vias beneath both terminals are essential to maintain junction temperature within spec during repeated surge events.
What does the "HM3/85A" suffix indicate in TPSMP22AHM3/85A?
The "HM3" denotes halogen-free, RoHS-compliant construction with AEC-Q101 qualification and JESD 201 Class 2 whisker resistance; "85A" specifies the packaging format: 13-inch diameter plastic tape and reel containing 10,000 units. This differs from "84A" (7-inch reel, 3,000 units) and "H"/"I" variants - all share identical electrical and thermal specs, differing only in packaging and reel size for SMT line compatibility.
