Product details
Overview
UCLAMP0511PQTCT from Semtech is a transient diverting suppressor designed for high-energy EOS protection of single 5V I/O or power lines in USB, industrial, and IoT interfaces. It delivers ±30kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity, clamps at 7.5V (IPP = 24A), maintains constant clamping across temperature (−40°C to +125°C), and uses a surge-rated FET architecture for low dynamic resistance (20 mΩ).
For engineers reviewing the UCLAMP0511PQTCT datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include its 5V working voltage, ultra-low 0.8pF junction capacitance, DFN-6 1.6×1.6mm package, and stable clamping performance under fast-rising transients and elevated ambient temperatures.
Technical Context
The UCLAMP0511PQTCT implements a precision-triggered shunt FET architecture-unlike conventional TVS diodes-to achieve near-constant clamping voltage independent of peak pulse current (24A–40A) and operating temperature. Its trigger circuit activates the low-RDS(on) FET when transient voltage exceeds breakdown, routing surge energy to ground via three parallel input terminals and three dedicated GND pins.
Electrical behavior is defined by a 5V reverse stand-off voltage (VRWM), 7.5V clamping voltage at 24A (1.2/50μs + 8/20μs combo wave, RS = 2Ω), 0.8pF junction capacitance at 0V, and <600nA leakage at VRWM. The device operates from −40°C to +125°C and is rated for 1120W peak pulse power (8/20μs).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage | 5V - Matches standard USB 2.0/3.x, HDMI DDC, and low-voltage industrial I/O rails without derating. |
| Clamping Voltage (24A) | 7.5V - Ensures protected ICs (e.g., USB transceivers, PMICs) remain below absolute maximum ratings during surge events. |
| Junction Capacitance | 0.8pF @ 0V - Enables use on high-speed data lines (e.g., USB 2.0, I²C, SPI) without signal integrity degradation. |
| ESD Withstand | ±30kV contact & air (IEC 61000-4-2) - Meets highest system-level ESD immunity requirements for consumer and industrial end equipment. |
| Peak Pulse Current | 40A (8/20μs) - Supports compliance with IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (±1kV, 42Ω source) on unsymmetrical lines. |
| Dynamic Resistance | 20 mΩ - Minimizes voltage rise under high di/dt transients, enabling tighter clamping control than TVS diodes. |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +125°C - Validated for automotive cabin, industrial control, and outdoor IoT deployments. |
Pinout & Package
UCLAMP0511PQTCT is housed in a RoHS-compliant, halogen-free DFN-6 package measuring 1.6 mm × 1.6 mm × 0.55 mm with exposed thermal pad (no solder mask defined). The package uses lead-free matte tin terminations and is supplied in tape-and-reel format (3,000 units/reel).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPD4E05U06DQAR | TVS diode array; 5V VRWM, 14V clamping at 1A, 0.8pF, SOT-563 package. | Limited to 4A IPP; lacks FET-based flat clamping-clamping rises to ~20V at 4A, unsuitable for high-energy surges. | Select only for cost-sensitive, low-surge environments where 4A IPP suffices and thermal stability is non-critical. |
| SP1001-01UTG | Single-line TVS diode; 5V VRWM, 12.5V clamping at 1A, 0.3pF, SOD-323 package. | Max IPP = 12A; no multi-terminal design-higher inductance limits ESD response speed and surge margin. | Use only for space-constrained, low-capacitance needs where 12A surge rating is adequate and board layout cannot accommodate DFN-6 footprint. |
Compared with TPD4E05U06DQAR and SP1001-01UTG, UCLAMP0511PQTCT provides superior surge robustness (40A vs. ≤12A), thermally stable clamping (7.5V ±0.5V vs. rising curves), and lower effective inductance-making it the only option qualified for USB PD, industrial 4–20 mA loops, and outdoor IoT deployments requiring IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 compliance.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of UCLAMP0511PQTCT at 40A surge current?
The UCLAMP0511PQTCT clamps at 7.5V (typical) at 24A and maintains ≤7.8V at 40A under IEC 61000-4-5 combination waveform (1.2/50μs voltage + 8/20μs current, RS = 2Ω). This flat clamping is enabled by its FET-based architecture and is guaranteed across −40°C to +125°C ambient temperature.
Can UCLAMP0511PQTCT be used on USB 2.0 high-speed differential pairs without degrading signal integrity?
Yes. UCLAMP0511PQTCT has a junction capacitance of only 0.8pF at 0V, measured per IEC 61000-4-5 test conditions. This value is low enough to avoid measurable eye diagram closure or jitter on USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) differential signals when placed within 3 mm of the connector per Semtech layout guidelines.
How does UCLAMP0511PQTCT differ from standard TVS diodes in surge response?
Unlike pn-junction TVS diodes whose clamping voltage rises linearly with peak current (VC = VBR + IPP × RDYN), UCLAMP0511PQTCT uses a triggered shunt FET that achieves near-constant clamping (7.5V ±0.5V) from 24A to 40A and across −40°C to +125°C-eliminating thermal derating uncertainty in real-world deployments.
What is the recommended PCB layout for UCLAMP0511PQTCT to achieve full 40A rating?
To achieve the full 40A rating, all three IN pins (4, 5, 6) must connect via a single short, wide trace to the protected line, and all three GND pins (1, 2, 3) must connect to a solid ground plane using ≥4 vias. Placement within 3 mm of the connector is mandatory; thermal pads are not required-the device dissipates energy internally.
Is UCLAMP0511PQTCT compliant with RoHS, REACH, and halogen-free standards?
Yes. UCLAMP0511PQTCT is certified RoHS-compliant (2015/863/EU), REACH-conformant (SVHC-free), and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. Its molding compound meets UL 94V-0 flammability rating, and terminations use lead-free matte tin plating compatible with standard SnAgCu reflow profiles.
