Product details
Overview
TPSMP22HM3/85A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-220AA (SMP) package, designed for high-reliability automotive and industrial surge 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, 400 W peak pulse power rating, and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood electronics.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMP22HM3/85A datasheet, TPSMP22HM3/85A pinout, TPSMP22HM3/85A application, or TPSMP22HM3/85A equivalent, key selection criteria include unidirectional polarity, 185 °C junction temperature capability, low-profile 1.0 mm height, MSL Level 1 solderability, and compliance with IEC 61000-4-2/4-5 ESD/surge immunity standards.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses passivated anisotropic rectifier technology optimized for low incremental surge resistance and fast response time (<1 ns). Its junction design enables stable clamping performance across -65 °C to +185 °C operating range, with thermal derating per Figure 2 and peak pulse power defined per 10/1000 μs waveform per IEC 61000-4-5.
The device operates as a shunt protector: during overvoltage events exceeding VWM = 17.8 V, it avalanches to clamp transient energy while maintaining low dynamic impedance. Its unidirectional configuration requires correct cathode orientation (marked by color band) and is not suitable for AC line or bidirectional signal protection without external circuitry.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Clamp diode connected between gate driver output and local ground to suppress dv/dt-induced false turn-on. Use Value: 31.9 V clamping voltage limits gate-source voltage excursion below MOSFET VGS(max), preventing unintended conduction and shoot-through risk. |
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-E3/61 | DO-214AC (SMA) package; 22 V nominal VBR; 400 W PPPM; same unidirectional polarity and AEC-Q101 grade. | 0.23 mm taller (2.3 mm vs. 1.0 mm); less suitable for ultra-low-profile designs or dense PCB layouts. | Select when existing SMA footprint exists or when higher thermal mass is needed for repeated surge events. |
| TPSMA6.8A-Q | Same DO-220AA package; lower VBR (6.45–7.14 V); 300 W PPPM; AEC-Q101 qualified. | Designed for 5 V logic rail protection; insufficient clamping margin for 12 V systems. | Choose only for 3.3 V or 5 V signal-line protection where lower VBR and reduced PPPM are acceptable. |

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of the TPSMP22HM3/85A under standard test conditions?
The TPSMP22HM3/85A has a maximum clamping voltage (VC) of 31.9 V at 12.5 A peak pulse current (IPPM) using a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per IEC 61000-4-5 and ensures predictable voltage limiting during surge events. The clamping performance remains stable across its full operating temperature range up to +185 °C, making it suitable for under-hood automotive deployment where thermal stability is critical. The TPSMP22HM3/85A achieves this with low dynamic impedance due to its passivated anisotropic rectifier structure.
Is the TPSMP22HM3/85A suitable for bidirectional transient protection?
No, the TPSMP22HM3/85A is a unidirectional TVS diode and is not suitable for bidirectional protection. Its electrical characteristics-including breakdown voltage, clamping behavior, and polarity marking-are specified only for reverse-biased operation (cathode positive relative to anode). For AC or bidirectional signal lines, a dedicated bidirectional TVS such as the TPSMD22AHM3/85A would be required. Using the TPSMP22HM3/85A in reverse polarity risks permanent damage or failure to clamp during positive transients. Always observe the cathode band marking during PCB layout.
Does the TPSMP22HM3/85A meet automotive qualification standards?
Yes, the TPSMP22HM3/85A is AEC-Q101 qualified and rated for operation up to +185 °C junction temperature, meeting stringent automotive reliability requirements. It passes stress tests including temperature cycling, high-temperature operating life, and mechanical shock per AEC-Q101 Rev D. The device also complies with MSL Level 1 per J-STD-020, allowing lead-free reflow at 260 °C peak without moisture sensitivity concerns. These qualifications make the TPSMP22HM3/85A appropriate for engine control units, body electronics, and ADAS modules where long-term field reliability is mandatory.
What is the standoff voltage (VWM) of the TPSMP22HM3/85A and why does it matter?
The TPSMP22HM3/85A has a maximum standoff voltage (VWM) of 17.8 V, meaning it remains non-conductive up to this reverse voltage level at 25 °C. This parameter ensures compatibility with nominal 12 V automotive systems while providing sufficient margin above typical operating voltage (e.g., 13.5–14.5 V during charging) to prevent leakage or false triggering. At 17.8 V, reverse leakage is limited to just 1.0 μA, minimizing power loss in always-on circuits. Exceeding VWM initiates avalanche conduction, so proper system-level voltage tolerance analysis must confirm that normal operation stays safely below this threshold.
How does the DO-220AA (SMP) package of the TPSMP22HM3/85A benefit PCB design?
The DO-220AA (SMP) package of the TPSMP22HM3/85A provides a typical height of only 1.0 mm, enabling ultra-low-profile placement in space-constrained modules such as automotive radar assemblies or slim consumer displays. Its compact footprint supports high-density routing and reduces parasitic inductance compared to larger packages like DO-214AC. The matte tin-plated leads ensure robust solder joint formation per J-STD-002, and the MSL Level 1 rating eliminates pre-bake requirements. This combination makes the TPSMP22HM3/85A ideal for automated SMT assembly lines targeting automotive Tier-1 production volumes.
