Product details
Overview
VTVS9V4ASMF-HM3-08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a unidirectional 400 W TransZorb® transient voltage suppressor diode in SMF (DO-219AB) package, designed for ESD and surge protection on low-voltage DC lines such as USB, HDMI, and automotive sensor interfaces. It features a 9.4 V stand-off voltage (VRWM), 10.5–11.6 V reverse breakdown voltage (VBR) at 1 mA, 14.9 V maximum clamping voltage (VC) at 25.48 A peak pulse current, and ±30 kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD immunity.
For engineers reviewing the VTVS9V4ASMF-HM3-08 datasheet, VTVS9V4ASMF-HM3-08 pinout, VTVS9V4ASMF-HM3-08 application, or VTVS9V4ASMF-HM3-08 equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under 10/1000 μs transients, low capacitance (1130 pF at 0 V), AEC-Q101 qualification status, halogen-free compliance, and compatibility with SOD-123W footprint layouts.
Technical Context
This TVS diode operates as a unidirectional avalanche clamp, triggered when reverse voltage exceeds its 10.5–11.6 V breakdown threshold. Its low-noise design ensures sub-nanosecond response to ESD events, with thermal resistance of 20 K/W (junction-to-lead) enabling reliable power dissipation during 400 W 10/1000 μs pulses.
The device is rated for continuous operation from –55 °C to +175 °C junction temperature and supports wave and reflow soldering per J-STD-020 MSL level 1. Its 1130 pF capacitance at 0 V and 1.08 mm height make it suitable for space-constrained high-speed data line protection where signal integrity must be preserved.

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 modules exposed to load dump and ESD. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional transient clamp placed between sensor output and microcontroller ADC input. Use Value: Limits voltage to ≤14.9 V during 25.48 A transients, preventing ADC saturation and latch-up while maintaining <1.1 nF loading on millivolt-level signals. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding D+ and D– lines of USB 2.0 ports in infotainment head units against hot-plug ESD and cable-induced surges. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance TVS connected directly across differential pair, referenced to chassis ground. Use Value: Clamps ±30 kV ESD strikes within <1 ns while adding only 1130 pF per line-well below USB 2.0's 15 pF max per line requirement when combined with connector parasitics. |
| Industrial PLC Digital I/O | Automotive Camera Link |
|
Use Scenario: Shielding 24 V digital input channels in programmable logic controllers from field-wiring induced surges and lightning-induced coupling. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Standoff-rated TVS placed upstream of optocoupler or Schmitt trigger input stage. Use Value: Withstands repeated 400 W transients without parametric shift, ensuring long-term reliability in factory-floor environments with frequent cable disconnect/reconnect cycles. |
Use Scenario: Protecting MIPI CSI-2 lanes between ADAS camera modules and domain controllers against ESD during assembly and service. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Per-lane unidirectional TVS mounted adjacent to FPC connector, minimizing trace inductance. Use Value: 1.08 mm profile enables placement within tight camera module board space; 1130 pF capacitance avoids degrading 1.5 Gbps differential eye diagrams. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar transient voltage suppression applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ9.0A | Higher VRWM (9.0 V), lower VC (15.4 V at 24.7 A), same 400 W rating, SMA package (larger, 4.5 mm length) | Less suitable for ultra-thin modules due to 2.3 mm height; requires larger PCB area | Select when legacy SMA footprint exists and space constraints are less critical than cost |
| TPSMF9.0A | Same SMF package, 9.0 V VRWM, 10.0–11.1 V VBR, 15.4 V VC at 24.7 A, halogen-free, RoHS-compliant | Lower stand-off voltage reduces margin for 9.4 V nominal rails; identical footprint and mounting | Choose for direct replacement where 9.0 V VRWM suffices and AEC-Q101 is not required |
Compared with VTVS9V4ASMF-HM3-08, SMAJ9.0A trades compactness for broader industry familiarity and lower unit cost, while TPSMF9.0A offers identical packaging but reduced voltage margin-making VTVS9V4ASMF-HM3-08 optimal for 9.4 V systems needing AEC-Q101 validation and precise clamping control.

FAQ
What is the clamping voltage of VTVS9V4ASMF-HM3-08 under a 10/1000 μs surge?
The VTVS9V4ASMF-HM3-08 has a maximum reverse clamping voltage (VC) of 14.9 V at 25.48 A peak pulse current with a 10/1000 μs waveform. This value is measured per standard test conditions and defines the upper voltage limit imposed on the protected circuit during worst-case transient events. The VTVS9V4ASMF-HM3-08 maintains this clamping performance across its full operating temperature range of –55 °C to +175 °C.
Is VTVS9V4ASMF-HM3-08 qualified to AEC-Q101?
Yes, VTVS9V4ASMF-HM3-08 includes AEC-Q101 qualification, confirmed by the 'H' in its ordering code (VTVS9V4ASMF-HM3-08). This qualification covers stress tests including high-temperature operating life, temperature cycling, and ESD robustness, making the VTVS9V4ASMF-HM3-08 suitable for automotive powertrain, body electronics, and ADAS applications without additional reliability screening.
What is the capacitance of VTVS9V4ASMF-HM3-08 and how does it affect high-speed data lines?
The VTVS9V4ASMF-HM3-08 exhibits 1130 pF typical capacitance at 0 V reverse bias and 1 MHz frequency. While higher than some ultra-low-capacitance TVS devices, this value is carefully balanced against 400 W surge capability and remains acceptable for USB 2.0 (480 Mbps) and MIPI CSI-2 (1.5 Gbps) applications when placed with minimal trace length and proper grounding. The VTVS9V4ASMF-HM3-08's capacitance is stable across bias voltage, supporting predictable signal integrity.
Can VTVS9V4ASMF-HM3-08 replace older SMA-package TVS diodes on existing PCBs?
No, VTVS9V4ASMF-HM3-08 uses the SMF (DO-219AB) package-smaller and lower-profile than SMA-and is not a direct footprint replacement. Its 3.9 × 1.9 mm outline differs from SMA's 4.5 × 2.7 mm, requiring PCB layout revision. However, it is compatible with SOD-123W footprints, enabling migration from legacy SOD-123 designs. The VTVS9V4ASMF-HM3-08 offers superior power density and thermal performance versus SMA alternatives.
What is the maximum working voltage (VRWM) and why is it critical for VTVS9V4ASMF-HM3-08 selection?
The VTVS9V4ASMF-HM3-08 has a maximum stand-off voltage (VRWM) of 9.4 V, meaning it remains non-conductive up to this DC or RMS voltage level with leakage <0.1 μA. Selecting a VRWM ≥10–20 % above the nominal line voltage (e.g., 9.4 V for a 7.5–8.5 V rail) prevents false triggering while ensuring sufficient margin before breakdown. This parameter directly determines system reliability in VTVS9V4ASMF-HM3-08-based protection schemes.
