Product details
Overview
TPSMP9.1AHE3/84A from Vishay General Semiconductor is a unidirectional automotive-grade transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode in DO-220AA (SMP) package, with 8.65 V to 9.55 V breakdown voltage (VBR), 22.4 V clamping voltage (VC) at 50 A peak pulse current, and 300 W peak pulse power rating for 10/1000 µs waveform. It protects signal lines and drive transistors in automotive sensor units.
For engineers reviewing the TPSMP9.1AHE3/84A datasheet, TPSMP9.1AHE3/84A pinout, TPSMP9.1AHE3/84A application, or TPSMP9.1AHE3/84A equivalent, key selection criteria include AEC-Q101 qualification, low-profile 1.0 mm height, 7.78 V stand-off voltage (VWM), ≤10 µA reverse leakage at VWM, and MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity.
Technical Context
This TVS diode uses patented PAR oxide-passivated chip construction to achieve low incremental surge resistance and excellent clamping capability. Its unidirectional configuration provides robust protection against positive-going transients only, with fast response time and stable performance up to +185 °C junction temperature.
The device is rated for 40 A non-repetitive forward surge current (IFSM) and exhibits a temperature coefficient of VBR of +0.068 %/°C. It meets RoHS 2002/95/EC and WEEE 2002/96/EC, and terminals are matte tin plated per J-STD-002 and JESD22-B102.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min/max) | 8.65 V / 9.55 V - ensures reliable triggering above system operating voltage while avoiding false clamping |
| VWM | 7.78 V - maximum continuous reverse working voltage before leakage exceeds 10 µA |
| VC @ IPPM = 50 A | 22.4 V - clamped voltage during 10/1000 µs surge, limiting stress on downstream ICs |
| PPPM | 300 W - peak pulse power handling capacity under standard 10/1000 µs transient waveform |
| IR @ VWM | ≤10 µA - low leakage preserves signal integrity and minimizes standby power loss |
| TJ max. | +185 °C - enables operation in under-hood automotive environments without thermal derating |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ9.0A | DO-214AC package (higher profile: 2.3 mm), 300 W PPPM, VBR = 10.0–11.1 V, VC = 14.4 V @ 20.8 A | Lower clamping ratio but larger footprint; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select when cost priority outweighs automotive qualification and board height constraints |
| TPSMAJ9.0A | Same DO-214AC package, AEC-Q101 qualified, VBR = 10.0–11.1 V, VC = 14.4 V @ 20.8 A, 300 W | Higher clamping voltage margin required due to wider VBR tolerance; same qualification level | Choose if existing DO-214AC layout exists and lower clamping voltage is acceptable |
Compared with SMAJ9.0A and TPSMAJ9.0A, the TPSMP9.1AHE3/84A delivers identical 300 W surge rating in a 57 % lower profile package (1.0 mm vs. 2.3 mm), with tighter VBR tolerance (±5.3 % vs. ±10 %) and guaranteed AEC-Q101 compliance-critical for new automotive designs requiring miniaturization and qualification traceability.

FAQ
What is the breakdown voltage range for TPSMP9.1AHE3/84A?
The TPSMP9.1AHE3/84A has a specified breakdown voltage (VBR) range of 8.65 V minimum to 9.55 V maximum at 1 mA test current. This tight ±5.3 % tolerance ensures predictable clamping onset in 7.78 V stand-off systems and supports robust design margining against false triggering.
Is TPSMP9.1AHE3/84A qualified for automotive use?
Yes, the TPSMP9.1AHE3/84A is AEC-Q101 qualified and designated as high-reliability/automotive grade (suffix "A" and "HE3"). It is tested per JESD201 Class 2 whisker resistance and meets MSL Level 1 for lead-free reflow, making it suitable for under-hood and safety-critical automotive modules.
What is the clamping voltage of TPSMP9.1AHE3/84A at its rated peak pulse current?
The TPSMP9.1AHE3/84A clamps to a maximum of 22.4 V at 50 A peak pulse current (IPPM) under the standard 10/1000 µs waveform. This value is measured per ANSI/IEEE C62.35 and defines the maximum voltage seen by protected circuitry during worst-case surge events.
Does TPSMP9.1AHE3/84A have polarity marking, and how is it identified?
Yes, the TPSMP9.1AHE3/84A features a cathode band printed on the package body, consistent with DO-220AA (SMP) mechanical outline. The banded end is the cathode terminal; correct orientation is essential for unidirectional transient suppression and must align with PCB silkscreen polarity indicators.
What is the maximum steady-state power dissipation for TPSMP9.1AHE3/84A?
The TPSMP9.1AHE3/84A has a maximum steady-state power dissipation (PD) of 2.5 W when mounted on an infinite heatsink at TA = 75 °C. Under typical FR-4 PCB conditions with Vishay-recommended 5.0 × 5.0 mm copper pads, derating applies per Figure 2 in datasheet 88471.
