Product details
Overview
VTVS11ASMF-M3-08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a unidirectional 400 W TransZorb® transient voltage suppressor diode in SMF (DO-219AB) package, designed for board-level ESD and surge protection of low-voltage DC lines. It features a 11.2 V maximum stand-off voltage (VRWM), 12.6–13.9 V reverse breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 18.0 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 21.13 A peak pulse current, and ±30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity - deployed in automotive infotainment power rails and industrial sensor interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the VTVS11ASMF-M3-08 datasheet, VTVS11ASMF-M3-08 pinout, VTVS11ASMF-M3-08 application, or VTVS11ASMF-M3-08 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage margin relative to protected IC VCC, VRWM derating for temperature drift, unidirectional polarity compatibility with DC bias schemes, and SOD-123W footprint compliance for high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a shunt-clamping device triggered by avalanche breakdown above VRWM, delivering fast response (<1 ns) via "Low-Noise" silicon technology. Its unidirectional configuration enables integration into positive-rail protection paths without forward conduction during normal operation.
Rated for 400 W peak pulse power (10/1000 μs waveform) and 175 °C junction temperature, it sustains repeated transients while maintaining <0.05 μA leakage at VRWM and 910 pF capacitance at 0 V - critical for preserving signal integrity on 10–50 MHz analog or digital lines.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Pulse Power | 400 W (10/1000 μs waveform): withstands automotive load-dump surges and industrial switching transients without degradation |
| Stand-off Voltage (VRWM) | 11.2 V max: ensures no conduction during nominal 12 V rail operation, allowing safe margin before clamping |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 12.6–13.9 V at 1 mA: defines precise avalanche onset threshold for repeatable clamping behavior |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | 18.0 V at 21.13 A IPPM: limits downstream voltage stress to <1.6× VRWM, protecting 16 V-tolerant ICs |
| ESD Rating | ±30 kV contact / ±30 kV air (IEC 61000-4-2): meets Level 4 system-level ESD robustness for automotive ECUs |
| Junction Temperature | -55 to +175 °C: supports under-hood and industrial control cabinet deployments without thermal derating |
| Capacitance | 910 pF at 0 V, 1 MHz: compatible with low-speed data lines (e.g., LIN, CAN FD stubs, sensor analog outputs) |
Pinout & Package
SMF (DO-219AB) low-profile surface-mount package: 3.9 mm × 1.9 mm × 1.08 mm body, halogen-free molding compound, MSL level 1, wave/reflow solderable, compatible with SOD-123W footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Anode | Reference node for unidirectional clamping | Connected to GND or low-side return path; establishes polarity-dependent avalanche trigger |
| Cathode | Protected line connection point | Connected to the 12 V rail or signal line being safeguarded; conducts surge current to ground when VC exceeded |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 400 W peak pulse power | Enables single-device protection against ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/5a transients in 12 V automotive systems |
| ±5 % VBR tolerance (A-suffix) | Guarantees tight clamping window across production lots, reducing design margin uncertainty |
| "Low-Noise" fast response | Sub-nanosecond turn-on time prevents overshoot propagation to sensitive analog front-ends |
| AEC-Q101 qualified option | M3-08 packaging code denotes RoHS-compliant, lead-free, halogen-free construction meeting automotive reliability standards |
| SOD-123W footprint compatibility | Allows drop-in replacement of legacy SOD-123 devices without PCB redesign or stencil changes |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ11A | Same VRWM (11 V) and VC (18.2 V), but 400 W rating uses 8.3 ms waveform; higher 1.5 nA IR at VRWM | Larger SMA package (4.5 × 2.7 mm) requires PCB area increase; not AEC-Q101 qualified | Select for cost-sensitive industrial designs where footprint flexibility exists and automotive qualification is unnecessary |
| TPSMD11A | Identical VRWM (11.1 V) and VC (18.0 V); tighter ±3.5 % VBR tolerance; 1000 W rating (10/1000 μs) | DO-214AB package (7.1 × 6.2 mm) incompatible with SMF layout; higher capacitance (1200 pF) | Choose when higher surge margin is required and board space permits larger package; unsuitable for space-constrained automotive modules |
Compared with SMAJ11A and TPSMD11A, VTVS11ASMF-M3-08 uniquely balances compact DO-219AB footprint, AEC-Q101 readiness, and precise ±5 % VBR control - making it optimal for next-generation ADAS domain controllers and miniaturized industrial PLC I/O modules.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of VTVS11ASMF-M3-08 at its rated peak pulse current?
The VTVS11ASMF-M3-08 has a maximum reverse clamping voltage (VC) of 18.0 V when subjected to its rated 21.13 A peak pulse current (10/1000 μs waveform). This value ensures protected circuits remain within safe operating limits during transient events, and is measured per JEDEC standards with specified test conditions.
Is VTVS11ASMF-M3-08 qualified to AEC-Q101 for automotive use?
VTVS11ASMF-M3-08 is offered in an AEC-Q101 qualified version - confirmed by Vishay's documentation and ordering code structure (M3-08 denotes RoHS-compliant, lead-free, halogen-free construction meeting automotive reliability requirements). Always verify qualification status using the specific part number's official Vishay datasheet revision.
What package type does VTVS11ASMF-M3-08 use, and is it compatible with standard SOD-123 footprints?
VTVS11ASMF-M3-08 uses the SMF (DO-219AB) package - a low-profile, halogen-free surface-mount case measuring 3.9 mm × 1.9 mm × 1.08 mm. It is explicitly stated as compatible with SOD-123W, SOD-123F, and SOD-123FL outlines, enabling mechanical and soldering compatibility with existing SOD-123-based layouts.
How does the ±5 % VBR tolerance of VTVS11ASMF-M3-08 impact circuit protection design?
The ±5 % breakdown voltage tolerance (denoted by the "A" suffix in VTVS11ASMF-M3-08) guarantees that VBR falls between 12.6 V and 13.9 V at 1 mA. This tight specification allows designers to set precise clamping margins relative to downstream IC absolute maximum ratings, minimizing overdesign while ensuring reliable activation before damage occurs.
Can VTVS11ASMF-M3-08 be used for bidirectional signal line protection?
No - VTVS11ASMF-M3-08 is a unidirectional TVS diode, intended for DC power rail or single-polarity signal protection. For bidirectional applications (e.g., USB data lines, RS-485), a symmetrical device such as VTVS11BSMF-M3-08 would be required. Using VTVS11ASMF-M3-08 on AC-coupled or floating lines risks forward conduction or inadequate clamping.
