Product details
Overview
TS30042-M018QFNR from Semtech is a Transient Diverting Suppressor (TDS) designed for high-energy EOS protection of 22V-rated power or I/O lines. It delivers ±30kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity, 40A peak pulse current (8/20μs), and a stable 27.5–28V clamping voltage across temperature and current range - enabling robust USB PD and Type-C bus protection.
For engineers reviewing the TS30042-M018QFNR datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping voltage stability under surge, low dynamic resistance (<20 mΩ), junction capacitance (175 pF at 22V), and DFN 1.6×1.6mm 6-lead package compatibility with high-density USB and industrial PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The TS30042-M018QFNR uses a surge-rated FET as its primary protection element, activated by a precision trigger circuit when transient voltage exceeds breakdown. Unlike conventional TVS diodes, its clamping voltage remains nearly constant (27.5–28V) from 24A to 40A due to decreasing RDS(on) under surge conditions.
It operates across –40°C to +125°C with <600 nA reverse leakage at 22V, 175 pF junction capacitance at 1 MHz, and 1120 W peak pulse power handling - making it suitable for industrial-grade load switch input protection and USB Type-C VBus line safeguarding where thermal drift and voltage overshoot must be minimized.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage | 22 V - defines maximum continuous DC operating voltage on protected line without leakage or conduction. |
| Clamping Voltage | 27.5–28 V at 40A (8/20μs + 1.2/50μs combo wave) - ensures downstream 24V-rated ICs (e.g., USB PD controllers) remain below damage threshold during surge. |
| Peak Pulse Current | 40 A (8/20μs) - meets IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 industrial surge immunity requirements for 22V systems. |
| ESD Withstand | ±30 kV contact & air (IEC 61000-4-2) - exceeds automotive and industrial ESD immunity standards for connector-facing protection. |
| Dynamic Resistance | 20 mΩ - enables low-voltage-drop shunting, minimizing energy dissipation in silicon and stabilizing clamping across current range. |
| Junction Capacitance | 175 pF at 22V, 1 MHz - compatible with USB PD power path (not signal lines); requires separate low-C TVS for SS/DP/DM lanes. |
Pinout & Package
TS30042-M018QFNR is housed in a Pb-free, RoHS-compliant DFN package measuring 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm × 0.55 mm with 6 leads and UL 94V-0 molding compound.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pins 1, 2, 3 | GND | Common ground return path for surge current; all three must be connected to minimize inductance and maximize 40A capability. |
| Pins 4, 5, 6 | IN | Protected line input (e.g., USB PD VBus); parallel connection ensures uniform current sharing and optimal thermal distribution during transients. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant-clamp architecture | Clamping voltage varies ≤0.5 V from 24A to 40A - eliminates need for over-spec'ed IPP rating to meet voltage safety margins. |
| Temperature-stable protection | Clamping remains 27.5–28 V from –40°C to +125°C - avoids derating or thermal shutdown in industrial enclosures. |
| Low dynamic resistance | 20 mΩ enables efficient shunting with minimal self-heating - supports repeated surge events without parameter drift. |
| High-energy surge rating | 1120 W peak pulse power (8/20μs) - sustains multi-event lightning-induced surges per IEC 61000-4-5 without degradation. |
Applications
| USB Type-C Power Delivery Bus Protection | Industrial Load Switch Input Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting 20–22V USB PD VBus lines against ESD, lightning-induced surges, and hot-plug transients in portable docking stations and power adapters. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary EOS shunt protector placed directly at Type-C connector, clamping transients before they reach PD controller or buck converter. Use Value: Maintains 27.5–28V clamping across temperature and current - prevents false OVP trips and ensures reliable operation where standard TVS would exceed 35V at 125°C. |

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Solid-state transient suppressor replacing Zener-based solutions to eliminate leakage-induced battery drain and improve long-term reliability. Use Value: Delivers <600 nA leakage at 22V and ±4kV EFT immunity - extends battery life while maintaining fail-safe protection during repetitive noise events. |
Use Scenario: Protecting 22V backup power inputs in enterprise SSDs and NVMe storage modules against EOS during hot-swap or power-fail recovery sequences. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-reliability shunt device placed upstream of PMIC or charge controller to prevent overvoltage damage during capacitor discharge transients. Use Value: Stable 27.5–28V clamping ensures no voltage overshoot reaches sensitive NAND controller or DRAM buffers - preserving data integrity during power transitions. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Semtech TDS2211P | Identical electrical specs, same DFN 1.6×1.6mm package, identical marking code "T22" - confirmed pin-to-pin and functional replacement. | No difference; validated for same USB PD, load switch, and industrial use cases per Semtech documentation. | Select when requiring direct Semtech second-source with identical qualification and traceability. |
| Littelfuse SP3022-01WTG | TVS diode (not TDS architecture); higher clamping (~38V at 24A/125°C), 120 pF capacitance, SOD-323 package - lacks constant-clamp behavior and thermal stability. | Suitable only for lower-temp, lower-IPP applications; cannot replace TS30042-M018QFNR where clamping voltage margin is tight. | Consider only if board space allows larger footprint and design tolerates >10V higher clamping at elevated temperature. |
Compared with TS30042-M018QFNR, TDS2211P offers identical performance and drop-in compatibility, while SP3022-01WTG trades clamping stability and thermal resilience for smaller package size and lower cost - making it viable only in non-critical, ambient-temperature-limited deployments.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the TS30042-M018QFNR in a circuit?
The TS30042-M018QFNR functions as a solid-state transient diverting suppressor that protects 22V-rated power or I/O lines from EOS events including ESD, lightning surges, and EFT bursts. It uses a precision-triggered FET to clamp transients at 27.5–28V with minimal voltage rise across 24–40A and –40°C to +125°C - ensuring downstream components like USB PD controllers remain within safe operating limits. The TS30042-M018QFNR achieves this via low dynamic resistance (20 mΩ) and stable junction characteristics.
How does the TS30042-M018QFNR differ from standard TVS diodes?
Unlike standard TVS diodes whose clamping voltage rises linearly with peak pulse current (VC = VBR + IPP × RDYN), the TS30042-M018QFNR maintains near-constant clamping (27.5–28V) from 24A to 40A due to its FET-based architecture and decreasing RDS(on). It also exhibits stable clamping across temperature - whereas typical TVS devices increase clamping by >5V from –40°C to +125°C. The TS30042-M018QFNR thus enables tighter voltage margins and eliminates need for overrated IPP in thermally demanding designs.
What are the recommended PCB layout practices for TS30042-M018QFNR?
Place TS30042-M018QFNR as close as possible to the protected connector (e.g., USB Type-C port) to minimize trace inductance. Connect all three GND pins (1, 2, 3) to a solid ground plane using multiple vias, and tie all three IN pins (4, 5, 6) together with a short, wide trace. Avoid thermal pads - energy is dissipated in the silicon, not the package. Follow Semtech's land pattern for DFN 1.6×1.6mm; ensure solder mask defined pads and controlled impedance routing for the protected line. This layout preserves the TS30042-M018QFNR's 40A surge capability and fast response.
Can TS30042-M018QFNR be used for USB SuperSpeed (SS) differential pairs?
No, TS30042-M018QFNR is not suitable for USB SuperSpeed (TX/RX) or DP/DM differential signal lines due to its 175 pF junction capacitance at 22V, which would severely degrade signal integrity and violate USB 3.x eye diagram requirements. It is specifically designed for single-ended 22V power rail protection (e.g., VBus). For SS/DP/DM lines, Semtech recommends low-capacitance TVS devices such as RClamp3371ZC (<0.25 pF). The TS30042-M018QFNR must be applied only to power paths, never high-speed data lanes.
Is TS30042-M018QFNR compliant with environmental and safety standards?
Yes, TS30042-M018QFNR is Pb-free, halogen-free, and RoHS/WEEE compliant. Its molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating. It is qualified per IEC 61000-4-2 (±30kV ESD), IEC 61000-4-4 (±4kV EFT), and IEC 61000-4-5 (40A 8/20μs, ±1kV 1.2/50μs), and operates reliably from –40°C to +125°C. Semtech provides full traceability, tape-and-reel packaging (3,000 units per 7″ reel), and lifecycle management - confirming TS30042-M018QFNR meets industrial and commercial environmental compliance requirements without exemptions.
