TDS5311P delivers near-constant clamping voltage across current and temperature where conventional TVS diodes fall short

CAMARILLO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Semtech Corporation ( SMTC ) , a leading provider of high-performance semiconductors powering data center networking, Internet of Things (IoT) connectivity and cellular infrastructure solutions, today announced the TDS5311P, the industry’s first circuit protection device to deliver near-constant clamping voltage for USB Power Delivery (PD) Extended Power Range (EPR) applications at 48 V. The latest addition to its SurgeSwitch® family, the TDS5311P protects power buses (VBus) operating at up to 53 V, purpose-built for the growing class of USB PD EPR systems operating at 48 V across industrial equipment, rugged mobility devices and high-performance portable systems.

As USB PD EPR adoption extends into industrial equipment, rugged mobility devices and high-performance portable systems, designers face a protection gap: conventional TVS diodes clamp inconsistently, with clamping voltage shifting across current levels and temperature ranges. The TDS5311P, built on SurgeSwitch’s surge-rated FET architecture, maintains a nearly constant clamping voltage from the first microsecond of a surge event through maximum rated current, across the full -40°C to +125°C industrial temperature range.

“USB Power Delivery Extended Power Range is bringing 48 V into application environments that demand industrial-grade reliability,” said Tamir Reshef, vice president of product marketing and applications, analog mixed signal and wireless products group at Semtech ( SMTC ). “The TDS5311P gives designers the consistent protection behavior those systems require, in a package small enough to fit the space constraints of the devices they’re building.”

The TDS5311P handles 1512 W peak pulse power, 24 A peak pulse current and meets the IEC 61000-4-5 industrial surge standard, all from a 2.0 x 2.0 mm DFN-6 (Dual Flat No-lead) package.

The TDS5311P is available now. Learn more at https://www.semtech.com/products/circuit-protection/tvs-diodes/tds5311p.
