Product details
Overview
VTVS10GSMF-M3-08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a unidirectional 400 W TransZorb® transient voltage suppressor diode in SMF (DO-219AB) package, designed for ESD and surge protection of low-voltage DC lines such as USB, HDMI, and automotive sensor interfaces. It features 11.81 V minimum and 12.30 V maximum reverse breakdown voltage at 1 mA, 10.30 V maximum stand-off voltage, 23.98 A peak pulse current (10/1000 μs), and clamps to ≤16.3 V under full-rated surge.
For engineers reviewing the VTVS10GSMF-M3-08 datasheet, VTVS10GSMF-M3-08 pinout, VTVS10GSMF-M3-08 application, or VTVS10GSMF-M3-08 equivalent, this device delivers ±2 % VBR tolerance, ±30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity, halogen-free construction, and AEC-Q101 qualification - critical for automotive infotainment and ADAS signal line hardening.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional clamping device with avalanche breakdown behavior, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its 10.30 V working threshold. Its low dynamic impedance ensures rapid response (<1 ns) and stable clamping at ≤16.3 V up to 23.98 A, preserving downstream ICs during fast transients.
The SMF (DO-219AB) package enables high power density (400 W peak) in a low-profile 3.9 mm × 1.9 mm footprint, with MSL level 1 moisture sensitivity and compatibility with standard reflow profiles (peak ≤260 °C). Thermal resistance from junction to lead is 20 K/W under infinite heat sink conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 400 W (10/1000 μs waveform; sustains surge energy without failure) |
| Reverse Breakdown Voltage | 11.81–12.30 V at IT = 1 mA (±2 % tolerance ensures precise overvoltage triggering) |
| Stand-off Voltage | 10.30 V max (blocks normal operation voltage while remaining non-conductive) |
| Clamping Voltage | ≤16.3 V at IPPM = 23.98 A (limits stress on protected ICs during worst-case surge) |
| ESD Immunity | ±30 kV contact & air discharge per IEC 61000-4-2 (meets automotive interior EMC requirements) |
| Junction Temperature Range | −55 °C to +175 °C (supports under-hood and engine-control module deployment) |

Applications
| Automotive Sensor Interface | USB 2.0 Data Line Protection |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting LIN bus or analog sensor outputs (e.g., pressure, temperature) in engine control units exposed to load dump and ISO 7637-2 pulses. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional clamping TVS placed between sensor output and microcontroller ADC input. Use Value: Limits transient voltage to ≤16.3 V while maintaining 10.30 V stand-off, preventing ADC saturation and latch-up during 23.98 A surges. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding USB 2.0 D+ and D− lines against ESD events in vehicle infotainment head units. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional protection not required; single VTVS10GSMF-M3-08 per line provides asymmetric clamping aligned with USB signaling polarity. Use Value: 988 pF capacitance avoids signal integrity degradation at 480 Mbps, while ±30 kV ESD rating exceeds IEC 61000-4-2 compliance margin. |
| Industrial CAN FD Node | Smartphone Camera Module Interface |
Use Scenario: Shielding CAN FD transceiver I/O pins from coupling-induced transients in factory automation PLCs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff voltage (10.30 V) matches typical CAN FD common-mode range; clamps surges before transceiver damage threshold. Use Value: 400 W peak power rating handles repetitive 10/1000 μs transients without parametric shift, ensuring long-term robustness. |
Use Scenario: ESD protection for MIPI CSI-2 data lanes connecting image sensor to application processor in compact mobile designs. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Anode grounded, cathode tied to signal line; leverages low 1.08 mm height for tight board stacking. Use Value: DO-219AB footprint minimizes PCB area vs. SMA/SMB, while −55 °C to +175 °C rating accommodates thermal cycling in camera modules. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ10A-E3/5A | ±5 % VBR tolerance (11.1–12.9 V), higher 1000 pF capacitance, SMA package (larger footprint) | Less precise clamping threshold; unsuitable for tight-tolerance 10 V rail protection | Select when cost priority outweighs precision and board space constraints |
| TPSMD10A | 10.0 V nominal VWM, 1000 W rating, but 22.5 V clamping at 43.5 A - significantly higher let-through voltage | Higher clamping compromises protection of 3.3 V/5 V logic; better suited for 24 V industrial lines | Choose only if system can tolerate ≥22 V transient overshoot on protected node |
Compared with SMAJ10A-E3/5A and TPSMD10A, VTVS10GSMF-M3-08 offers tighter ±2 % breakdown tolerance, lower 16.3 V clamping, and a 30 % smaller footprint - making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability automotive and portable electronics where precise voltage thresholds and minimal parasitic capacitance are essential.

FAQ
What is the exact reverse breakdown voltage range for VTVS10GSMF-M3-08?
The VTVS10GSMF-M3-08 has a reverse breakdown voltage (VBR) of 11.81 V minimum to 12.30 V maximum at IT = 1 mA and TJ = 25 °C, reflecting its ±2 % tolerance grade. This tight specification ensures predictable clamping onset in 10 V nominal systems and distinguishes it from ±5 % variants like VTVS10ASMF-M3-08.
Is VTVS10GSMF-M3-08 qualified for automotive use?
Yes, VTVS10GSMF-M3-08 is AEC-Q101 qualified, having passed stress tests including high-temperature reverse bias (HTRB), temperature cycling, and ESD robustness per JESD22-A114. Its −55 °C to +175 °C operating range and halogen-free construction meet automotive under-hood and cabin module requirements.
What does the "-M3-08" suffix indicate in VTVS10GSMF-M3-08?
The "-M3-08" suffix denotes tape-and-reel packaging: "M3" specifies lead (Pb)-free, RoHS-compliant tin plating, and "-08" indicates 3000 units per 7-inch reel (8 mm tape width, minimum order quantity 30 k units). This format supports automated SMT placement in high-volume manufacturing.
How does VTVS10GSMF-M3-08 compare to bidirectional TVS diodes in USB protection?
VTVS10GSMF-M3-08 is unidirectional and optimized for DC-biased lines like USB 2.0 D+ (typically pulled up to 3.3 V). Unlike bidirectional devices, it avoids leakage current during normal operation and provides lower clamping voltage (≤16.3 V) for positive transients - critical when protecting 3.3 V tolerant PHYs without compromising signal integrity.
Can VTVS10GSMF-M3-08 be used in parallel for higher surge current handling?
No - VTVS10GSMF-M3-08 is not characterized for parallel operation. Variations in VBR tolerance (±2 %) and dynamic impedance cause current imbalance during surge events, risking thermal runaway in one device. For higher IPPM, select a single higher-rated part such as VTVS12GSMF-M3-08 (19.53 A) or consult Vishay's application note AN8001 for derating guidance.
