Product details
Overview
USBQ50405CE3/TR7 from Microsemi is a bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) array in QFN-143 package, rated for 500 W peak pulse power (8/20 µs), 5.0 V working standoff voltage (VWM), 6.0 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR), and 3 pF line capacitance - designed to protect single USB 2.0 data lines operating at up to 900 Mbps against IEC 61000-4-2 ESD and IEC 61000-4-4 EFT transients.
For engineers reviewing the USBQ50405CE3/TR7 datasheet, USBQ50405CE3/TR7 pinout, USBQ50405CE3/TR7 application, or USBQ50405CE3/TR7 equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, mechanical package details, real-world use scenarios for high-speed interfaces, and validated alternative parts with documented functional differences.
Technical Context
This TVS array employs a symmetric bidirectional avalanche diode structure optimized for low-capacitance signal-line protection. It clamps transients to ≤10.8 V at 1 A and ≤12 V at 5 A (8/20 µs), with <40 µA standby current at 5.0 V VWM, enabling minimal loading on high-speed differential pairs.
Its QFN-143 footprint matches SOT-143 layouts, supporting drop-in replacement in space-constrained USB, RS-485, and Ethernet designs. The device operates across –55 °C to +125 °C junction temperature and meets RoHS compliance with matte-tin terminations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 500 W (8/20 µs waveform) - sustains high-energy lightning-induced surges without failure |
| Working Standoff Voltage (VWM) | 5.0 V - blocks normal USB signal swing while triggering only above safe threshold |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 6.0 V min @ 1 mA - ensures reliable conduction onset before IC damage occurs |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 10.8 V @ 1 A - limits transient voltage seen by downstream PHY to safe logic-level range |
| Line Capacitance | 3 pF @ 1 MHz - preserves signal integrity on 480 Mbps USB 2.0 differential pairs |
| Standby Current (ID) | <40 µA @ VWM - avoids DC loading or bias shift in active receiver circuits |
| Operating Temperature | –55 °C to +125 °C - supports industrial and automotive under-hood environments |

Applications
| USB 2.0 Interface Protection | RS-485 Data Line Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting host-side USB 2.0 upstream ports against user-insertion ESD events in consumer docking stations. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: TVS array placed immediately before USB connector to shunt transients before reaching PHY IC. Use Value: 3 pF capacitance prevents eye-diagram closure; 10.8 V clamping ensures USB transceiver I/O remains within absolute maximum ratings. | Use Scenario: Safeguarding industrial RS-485 nodes exposed to cable-induced surges in factory automation networks. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Single-channel bidirectional clamp on half-duplex RS-485 A/B pair, referenced to local ground. Use Value: 500 W surge rating handles induced lightning energy; 5.0 V VWM accommodates common-mode voltage swings up to ±7 V. |
| Ethernet 10BASE-T Port | Embedded USB Charging Port |
Use Scenario: Board-level ESD hardening of low-cost 10BASE-T Ethernet PHY interfaces in networked IoT gateways. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance TVS on transformer-coupled TX/RX lines, minimizing insertion loss at 10 MHz. Use Value: 3 pF capacitance adds <0.1 dB attenuation at 10 MHz; clamping below 12 V protects PHY ESD structures. | Use Scenario: Protecting USB Type-A charging ports in portable medical devices from operator-handling ESD. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional clamp on D+ line only, preserving BC1.2 charging handshake signaling. Use Value: 5.0 V VWM allows full USB enumeration voltage range; 40 µA leakage avoids battery drain in sleep mode. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar bidirectional TVS array applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ5.0A | Unidirectional, 5.0 V VWM, 100 pF capacitance, DO-214AC package | Requires external polarity management; unsuitable for AC-coupled or differential lines | Select only if protecting DC-biased single-ended lines where capacitance >30 pF is acceptable |
| SP1003-050 | Bidirectional, 5.0 V VWM, 0.6 pF capacitance, SOD-323 package | Lower capacitance but 300 W PPP rating; not qualified to IEC 61000-4-4 EFT | Prefer for ultra-high-speed (>1 Gbps) links where EFT immunity is secondary to capacitance |
Compared with SMAJ5.0A and SP1003-050, USBQ50405CE3/TR7 uniquely balances 500 W surge capability, 3 pF capacitance, and full IEC 61000-4-2/4-4 compliance in a QFN-143 footprint-making it optimal for USB 2.0 and industrial RS-485 where both speed and robustness are required.

USBQ50405CE3/TR7 has been validated in reference designs for USB host and peripheral ports meeting USB-IF signal integrity requirements.
Does USBQ50405CE3/TR7 require external biasing or direction control?
No, USBQ50405CE3/TR7 is a fully passive, bidirectional TVS array with symmetric avalanche structure - no external bias, direction pins, or control signals are needed. It automatically clamps positive and negative transients equally, making it ideal for AC-coupled or differential interfaces like USB D+/D−. USBQ50405CE3/TR7 functions identically regardless of signal polarity or DC offset.
What is the package dimension of USBQ50405CE3/TR7?
USBQ50405CE3/TR7 uses the QFN-143 package with dimensions 2.85 mm × 2.45 mm (length × width) and 0.8 mm nominal height. Pin pitch is 0.65 mm, and the package features a thermal pad centered on the bottom surface. Full mechanical drawings, including pad layout and land pattern recommendations, are provided on page 4 of RF01086-2 Rev A.
How does USBQ50405CE3/TR7 differ from USBQ50403CE3/TR7?
USBQ50405CE3/TR7 has a 5.0 V working standoff voltage (VWM) and 6.0 V minimum breakdown voltage, whereas USBQ50403CE3/TR7 is rated for 3.3 V VWM and 4.0 V VBR. Both share identical 3 pF capacitance, 500 W peak power, and QFN-143 packaging. USBQ50405CE3/TR7 is selected for 5 V-tolerant interfaces like standard USB 2.0, while USBQ50403CE3/TR7 targets 3.3 V logic systems.
