Product details
Overview
TPSMP22HE3/84A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor diode in DO-220AA (SMP) package, designed for automotive-grade circuit protection. It features 19.8 V to 24.2 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 31.9 V clamping voltage (VC) at 12.5 A peak pulse current, and 400 W peak pulse power rating for 10/1000 µs waveform - deployed to safeguard sensor signal lines and drive transistors in harsh automotive environments.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMP22HE3/84A datasheet, TPSMP22HE3/84A pinout, TPSMP22HE3/84A application, or TPSMP22HE3/84A equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q101 qualification, low-profile 1.0 mm height, 0.092 %/°C VBR temperature coefficient, and RoHS-compliant matte tin-plated leads meeting J-STD-002 solderability standards.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses patented PAR oxide-passivated chip construction to achieve excellent clamping capability and low incremental surge resistance. Its unidirectional configuration enables precise reverse-biased overvoltage protection with fast response time and minimal leakage (≤1 µA at 17.8 V stand-off voltage).
Rated for operation from −65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature, it meets MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020 and is qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive reliability. The device is mounted on PCB with 5.0 × 5.0 mm copper pads per terminal to sustain 400 W peak pulse power under standardized 10/1000 µs surge conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 19.8 V / 24.2 V - ensures reliable triggering above system operating voltage while accommodating manufacturing tolerance |
| VC @ IPPM | 31.9 V at 12.5 A - limits downstream voltage stress during transients to protect sensitive ICs and transistors |
| PPPM | 400 W (10/1000 µs) - provides robust surge immunity for automotive load-dump and ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a events |
| VWM | 17.8 V - sets maximum continuous reverse working voltage without significant leakage current |
| IR @ VWM | ≤1.0 µA - minimizes standby power loss and avoids false triggering in low-power sensor interfaces |

Applications
| Automotive Sensor Protection | Engine Control Unit (ECU) Power Input |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting analog output lines of pressure, temperature, and position sensors exposed to load dump and alternator ripple. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between sensor output and microcontroller ADC input to clamp transients before signal conditioning stage. Use Value: Limits voltage excursion to ≤31.9 V during 10/1000 µs surges, preserving ADC integrity and preventing latch-up in 3.3 V or 5 V MCU inputs. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding 12 V supply rails in engine control modules against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (load dump) events up to 400 W. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary clamping device parallel to bulk input capacitor, activated within nanoseconds to divert surge energy away from DC-DC converters and logic ICs. Use Value: Withstands 12.5 A peak pulse current at 31.9 V clamping, maintaining rail stability below 33 V to avoid brown-out resets in safety-critical firmware. |
| ADAS Camera Module Interface | Body Control Module (BCM) LIN Bus Line |
Use Scenario: Shielding high-speed image data lines (e.g., MIPI CSI-2) from ESD and coupled transients in rear-view and surround-view camera assemblies. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance TVS placed at connector entry point to suppress sub-100 ns ESD events without distorting signal edges. Use Value: Junction capacitance <100 pF (typ.) at zero bias ensures <0.5 dB insertion loss at 1 GHz, preserving video signal integrity. |
Use Scenario: Protecting LIN transceiver I/O pins from battery reverse connection and jump-start induced transients in door modules and lighting controllers. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS connected between LIN bus and ground, triggered only during negative-going surges exceeding −17.8 V. Use Value: Stand-off voltage of 17.8 V allows normal LIN signaling (±40 V common-mode) while clamping reverse faults to safe levels below transceiver absolute maximum ratings. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient 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; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Lacks automotive qualification; higher profile (2.29 mm); suitable for industrial/commercial designs without automotive reliability mandates | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs AEC-Q101 requirement and board height permits SMA footprint |
| TPSMP22AHE3/84A | Higher VBR range (20.9–23.1 V); same DO-220AA package; identical 400 W rating; AEC-Q101 qualified | Narrower VBR tolerance improves precision in systems requiring tighter clamping margin control | Choose for enhanced VBR consistency where ±5 % variation is unacceptable, e.g., in regulated 24 V subsystems |
Compared with SMAJ22A-E3/5AT, TPSMP22HE3/84A offers automotive qualification and 1.0 mm height but shares identical power handling; versus TPSMP22AHE3/84A, it trades tighter VBR tolerance for broader voltage coverage, making it preferable where system tolerances accommodate ±20 % VBR spread.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range for TPSMP22HE3/84A?
The TPSMP22HE3/84A has a specified breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 19.8 V minimum to 24.2 V maximum at 1 mA test current. This range reflects manufacturing tolerance and ensures reliable triggering above nominal 22 V system rails while maintaining sufficient margin against false activation during normal operation.
Is TPSMP22HE3/84A qualified for automotive use?
Yes, TPSMP22HE3/84A is AEC-Q101 qualified and designated as high-reliability/automotive grade (HE3 suffix). It meets stringent automotive requirements including temperature cycling, humidity testing, and mechanical shock, making it suitable for under-hood and safety-critical electronic control units.
What is the clamping voltage of TPSMP22HE3/84A at rated surge current?
The TPSMP22HE3/84A clamps to a maximum of 31.9 V at 12.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under 10/1000 µs waveform conditions. This value defines the upper voltage limit imposed on protected circuits during transient events and is critical for ensuring downstream ICs remain within absolute maximum ratings.
Does TPSMP22HE3/84A have a unidirectional or bidirectional configuration?
TPSMP22HE3/84A is a unidirectional TVS diode, meaning it provides overvoltage protection only in the reverse direction (cathode-to-anode). Its polarity is marked by a color band on the cathode end, and it is intended for applications where forward conduction must be avoided except during specific fault conditions like reverse battery connection.
What package type does TPSMP22HE3/84A use, and what are its key mechanical attributes?
TPSMP22HE3/84A uses the DO-220AA (SMP) surface-mount package, characterized by a typical height of 1.0 mm, 5.0 × 5.0 mm copper pad recommendation per terminal, and matte tin-plated leads compliant with J-STD-002 solderability standards. Its low profile supports dense PCB layouts in automotive ECUs and ADAS modules.
