Product details
Overview
TPSMP22HE3/85A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional automotive-grade transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-220AA (SMP) package, with 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 VBR ≥ 13 V. It protects sensor signal lines and drive transistors in automotive ECUs.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMP22HE3/85A datasheet, TPSMP22HE3/85A pinout, TPSMP22HE3/85A application, or TPSMP22HE3/85A equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q101 qualification, 1.0 mm profile for space-constrained PCBs, low incremental surge resistance, and MSL Level 1 reflow compatibility up to 260 °C.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses patented PAR oxide-passivated chip construction to achieve excellent clamping capability and very fast response time (<1 ns). Its unidirectional configuration provides robust protection against positive-going transients on DC-biased lines.
Designed for automotive environments, TPSMP22HE3/85A operates across -65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature range and delivers stable performance under high-temperature derating per Fig. 2. The device meets RoHS 2002/95/EC and WEEE 2002/96/EC directives.
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 avoiding false trips during normal operation. |
| VC @ IPPM | 31.9 V at 12.5 A - Limits downstream voltage stress during 10/1000 µs surge events to protect sensitive ICs. |
| PPPM | 400 W - Sustains high-energy transients common in automotive load-dump and ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a scenarios. |
| IFSM | 40 A - Withstands repetitive 10 ms half-sine surges without degradation, supporting motor driver and relay coil snubbing. |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - Enables placement near heat sources (e.g., power stages) in engine bay modules without thermal derating loss. |
| Package | DO-220AA (SMP) - 1.0 mm height enables ultra-low-profile layout; matte tin leads ensure J-STD-002 solderability. |
| AEC-Q101 | Qualified - Certified for automotive electronics per stress test requirements including HTRB, HTGB, and temperature cycling. |
Pinout & Package
TPSMP22HE3/85A is housed in a unipolar DO-220AA (SMP) surface-mount package with cathode indicated by a color band. The two-terminal device has no internal polarity reversal; anode and cathode are fixed per marking orientation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Low-side reference terminal | Connected to ground or lower-potential rail; forms current path during reverse-biased transient clamping. |
| Cathode | Protected line input | Connected to signal/power line being protected; color band identifies this terminal for correct PCB placement. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Patented PAR oxide passivation | Enables stable VBR tolerance and long-term reliability under high-humidity and thermal cycling conditions. |
| MSL Level 1 (260 °C peak) | Supports standard lead-free reflow without preconditioning, eliminating moisture-related popcorning risk. |
| 0.024 g unit weight | Minimizes mechanical stress on fine-pitch PCB traces during vibration and thermal expansion cycles. |
| UL 94 V-0 molding compound | Prevents flame propagation in enclosed automotive enclosures during fault conditions. |
| JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance | Eliminates tin whisker growth risk over lifetime, critical for safety-critical ADAS and powertrain modules. |
Applications
| Automotive Engine Control Unit (ECU) | Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) Camera Interface |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protects LIN bus communication lines and injector driver outputs from load dump and alternator ripple. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS placed between protected line and chassis ground to clamp transients before reaching MCU GPIO or driver IC inputs.

Use Scenario: Shields FPD-Link III differential video signals from ESD events during camera module mating/unmating. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance TVS on each signal line (CLK+/CLK-, DATA+/DATA-) referenced to common ground plane. Use Value: Delivers 400 W surge handling without degrading 3 Gbps signal integrity due to minimal parasitic capacitance (<100 pF). |
| Electric Power Steering (EPS) Motor Driver | Body Control Module (BCM) Sensor Inputs |
|
Use Scenario: Suppresses inductive kickback from H-bridge MOSFET switching during torque assist transitions. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Placed across motor phase terminals to absorb energy from flyback currents during PWM dead-time. Use Value: Withstands 40 A IFSM and 185 °C TJ max, enabling direct integration into compact motor control PCBs near gate drivers. |
Use Scenario: Guards analog inputs from ambient light sensors, rain sensors, and door position switches against cable discharge events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-device protection on each sensor line, connected between signal trace and ground plane with short return path. Use Value: 1.0 mm profile allows placement directly at connector entry point without compromising board stacking height in slim BCM housings. |
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; 400 W PPPM; 1.9 mm height; not AEC-Q101 qualified. | Lacks automotive qualification and fails MSL Level 1 reflow compliance; suitable only for industrial/commercial designs. | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs automotive compliance and board height constraints allow SMA footprint. |
| TPSMP22AHE3/85A | Narrower VBR tolerance (20.9–23.1 V vs. 19.8–24.2 V); same DO-220AA package, PPPM, and AEC-Q101 status. | Better precision for systems requiring tighter clamping threshold control, e.g., 24 V CAN FD transceivers with narrow VIO margin. | Choose when design requires reduced VBR spread to avoid marginal triggering near steady-state operating voltage. |
Compared with SMAJ22A-E3/5AT and TPSMP22AHE3/85A, the TPSMP22HE3/85A offers broader VBR tolerance for relaxed system-level margining, full automotive qualification, and lowest profile-making it optimal for next-gen compact ECU and ADAS modules where height and reliability are non-negotiable.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TPSMP22HE3/85A under a 10/1000 µs surge?
The TPSMP22HE3/85A has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 31.9 V at 12.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under a 10/1000 µs waveform. This value ensures downstream 24 V-rated ICs remain within safe operating limits during ISO 7637-2 pulse 5a load-dump events. The TPSMP22HE3/85A maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range.
Is the TPSMP22HE3/85A qualified for automotive use?
Yes, the TPSMP22HE3/85A is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for automotive applications. It undergoes rigorous stress testing including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), high-temperature gate bias (HTGB), and temperature cycling. The TPSMP22HE3/85A also meets RoHS 2002/95/EC and WEEE 2002/96/EC directives, confirming its suitability for modern vehicle platforms.
What does the "HE3/85A" suffix indicate in TPSMP22HE3/85A?
The "HE3" suffix denotes RoHS-compliant, high-reliability, automotive-grade construction with matte tin-plated leads meeting J-STD-002 solderability standards and JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance. The "85A" indicates packaging in 13-inch plastic tape and reel with a base quantity of 10,000 units-optimized for high-volume SMT assembly lines.
How does the DO-220AA package of the TPSMP22HE3/85A compare to SMA (DO-214AC)?
The DO-220AA (SMP) package of the TPSMP22HE3/85A measures just 1.0 mm in height-less than half the 1.9 mm height of the SMA (DO-214AC) package. This enables significantly lower profile layouts in tight spaces like ADAS camera modules. Both packages offer comparable thermal dissipation on FR-4 PCBs, but DO-220AA achieves higher power density per unit volume.
What is the junction temperature limit for continuous operation of the TPSMP22HE3/85A?
The TPSMP22HE3/85A supports continuous operation from -65 °C to +185 °C junction temperature (TJ). Its steady-state power dissipation is rated at 2.5 W on an infinite heatsink at TA = 75 °C, with derating per Figure 6. This wide TJ range allows direct placement near power stages in engine compartment modules without external thermal management.
