Product details
Overview
TVS8818MUTAG from onsemi is an 8-line unidirectional transient voltage suppressor array designed for GbE and 10/100 Ethernet signal line protection. It delivers 3.0 V reverse working voltage, ≤2.0 pF I/O-to-I/O capacitance, 35 A peak pulse current (8/20 µs), 15 V clamping voltage at 35 A, and UL 94 V-0 flammability rating - enabling robust ESD (±30 kV contact) and lightning surge (IEC 61000−4−5) protection in high-speed differential data paths.
For engineers reviewing the TVS8818MUTAG datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include low inter-pin capacitance for signal integrity, flow-thru routing compatibility with MagJack layouts, GbE-compliant surge handling, and UDFN10 package thermal and mechanical constraints for dense PCB designs.
Technical Context
The TVS8818MUTAG integrates eight independent unidirectional TVS diodes in a single UDFN10 package with common GND terminals. Its low dynamic resistance and tight clamping response ensure fast suppression of IEC 61000−4−2 ESD transients and IEC 61000−4−5 lightning surges without distorting 1000BASE-T differential signaling.
Designed specifically for Ethernet PHY interface protection, it supports flow-thru PCB routing to preserve differential pair impedance matching. The device operates across −55°C to +125°C junction temperature and maintains ≤0.5 µA reverse leakage at 3.0 V VRWM, minimizing DC loading on sensitive transceiver I/O lines.

| Package | UDFN10 (3.5 × 2.0 mm, 0.575 mm pitch) - Enables compact, low-inductance layout with exposed thermal pad |
Pinout & Package
TVS8818MUTAG uses a 10-pin UDFN package (Case 506CU) with flow-thru routing: pins 1–4 and 6–9 are I/O terminals (4 pairs), pins 5 and 10 are GND. Common GND design allows minimum one GND connection for functional operation while supporting multiple grounding points for optimal RF return path.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | I/O (Line 1) | Input/output terminal for first protected differential pair - routed in flow-thru configuration to maintain trace symmetry |
| Pin 2 | I/O (Line 1) | Complementary I/O terminal for Line 1 - matched length routing required with Pin 1 |
| Pin 3 | I/O (Line 2) | Input/output terminal for second protected differential pair - electrically isolated from other lines |
| Pin 4 | I/O (Line 2) | Complementary I/O terminal for Line 2 - shares GND reference but no internal coupling to other lines |
| Pin 5 | GND | Common cathode connection for all eight TVS elements - primary thermal and EMI return path |
| Pin 6 | I/O (Line 3) | Input/output terminal for third protected differential pair - identical electrical characteristics to Pins 1–4 |
| Pin 7 | I/O (Line 3) | Complementary I/O terminal for Line 3 - supports full-duplex 1000BASE-T lane protection |
| Pin 8 | I/O (Line 4) | Input/output terminal for fourth protected differential pair - enables complete 4-pair GbE port protection |
| Pin 9 | I/O (Line 4) | Complementary I/O terminal for Line 4 - completes eight-channel unidirectional suppression array |
| Pin 10 | GND | Secondary GND terminal - improves thermal dissipation and reduces ground loop inductance when used with Pin 5 |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-thru routing architecture | Enables straight-through PCB trace layout for all 4 differential pairs - eliminates stubs and maintains controlled 100 Ω differential impedance |
| Low I/O-to-I/O capacitance | 1.5–2.0 pF maximum - minimizes insertion loss and crosstalk in 100 MHz–1 GHz Ethernet bandwidth |
| UL 94 V-0 flammability rating | Ensures compliance with end-equipment safety standards for plastic enclosures and connector housings |
| Pb-free UDFN10 package | RoHS-compliant construction with exposed thermal pad - supports automated reflow and improves thermal resistance by 30% vs. standard DFN |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SZ1.5SMC3.3A | Single-channel SMC package; 3.3 V VRWM; 100 A IPP; 11.2 V VC @ 100 A; 100 pF I/O-GND capacitance | Requires 8 discrete devices and complex layout - unsuitable for high-speed differential pairs due to high capacitance and inductance | Select only for low-frequency, non-differential, or cost-sensitive legacy designs where signal integrity is not critical |
| SP1003-010 | 8-channel μDFN package; 3.3 V VRWM; 30 A IPP; 12 V VC @ 30 A; 0.6 pF I/O-I/O capacitance | Lower clamping voltage but tighter VRWM tolerance; requires different PCB footprint and lacks UL 94 V-0 rating | Prefer for ultra-low-distortion 2.5G/5G Ethernet where sub-1 pF capacitance is mandatory; verify thermal derating for sustained surge duty |
Compared with SZ1.5SMC3.3A and SP1003-010, TVS8818MUTAG uniquely balances GbE-compatible clamping performance (15 V @ 35 A), flow-thru routing support, and industry-standard UL 94 V-0 compliance in a single compact UDFN10 package - making it optimal for production-ready 1000BASE-T designs requiring certification-ready surge protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of TVS8818MUTAG under IEC 61000−4−5 lightning surge conditions?
The TVS8818MUTAG clamps to 15 V at 35 A peak pulse current (8/20 µs waveform), as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This value is measured I/O-to-GND and represents worst-case voltage seen by the protected Ethernet PHY during standardized lightning surge testing. The clamping behavior is confirmed in Figure 3 of the datasheet and remains stable across its −55°C to +125°C operating junction temperature range.
Does TVS8818MUTAG support bidirectional ESD protection?
No, TVS8818MUTAG is a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor array. Its breakdown and clamping behavior is defined only for positive transients relative to GND, as confirmed by the IV curve in Figure 8 and the "Uni-Directional TVS" label in the Electrical Characteristics section. For bidirectional protection, a separate design using back-to-back diodes or a dedicated bidirectional array would be required.
Can TVS8818MUTAG be used for USB 3.0 or PCIe Gen3 signal line protection?
No - TVS8818MUTAG is not recommended for USB 3.0 or PCIe Gen3. Its 2.0 pF I/O-to-I/O capacitance exceeds the ≤0.3 pF typical requirement for 5 Gbps+ serial links, and its 15 V clamping voltage is incompatible with 3.3 V or lower supply-referenced I/O structures. The device is explicitly characterized and qualified only for 10/100/GbE Ethernet applications per the datasheet scope.
What is the thermal pad configuration for the UDFN10 package of TVS8818MUTAG?
The UDFN10 package of TVS8818MUTAG features an exposed copper thermal pad centered on the bottom surface (visible in Package Dimensions, Case 506CU). This pad must be soldered to a PCB thermal plane using a 3×3 array of solder paste openings per the recommended mounting footprint. Proper thermal pad connection reduces θJA by ~25% and is required to sustain repetitive 35 A surge events without junction overheating.
How many GND connections are required for functional operation of TVS8818MUTAG?
TVS8818MUTAG requires a minimum of one GND connection - either Pin 5 or Pin 10 - for functional operation, as stated in the Pin Schematic note: "Common GND – Only minimum of 1 GND connection required." However, connecting both GND pins significantly improves thermal dissipation, reduces ground path inductance, and enhances high-frequency surge current return - strongly recommended for production designs per onsemi application guidance.
