AEC-Q101 qualified device ensures maximum reliability for automotive electronics
Friday, June 27, 2014: The SM24CANA Series 200W TVS Diode Array from Littelfuse is designed for protecting Controller Area Network (CAN) lines from damage due to ESD, EFT, and other overvoltage transients. It can absorb repetitive ESD strikes above the maximum level specified in the IEC61000-4-2 international standard without performance degradation and safely dissipate 3A of surge current with very low clamping voltages. In addition to maximizing the reliability of automotive electronics applications, it is suitable for use in industrial CAN bus applications that are susceptible to damage due to lightning-induced transients or ESD.
Features
- Enhanced ESD and surge protection
- ESD, IEC61000-4-2: ±24kV (contact)
- Lightning, IEC61000-4-5: 3A
- Peak pulse power: 200W
- Low dynamic resistance offers superb clamping performance
- MAX Clamping of 36V @ 1A (tP=8/20µs)
- RDYN of 0.7Ω (TYP)
- Low capacitance of 11pF (TYP)
- AEC-Q101 qualified
Benefits
* Enhanced ESD protection permits worry-free product implementation in a demanding automotive environment with protection well in excess of the IEC61000-4-2 standard (±8kV)
* Low dynamic resistance = fast acting, low clamping protection; provides a 10 percent reduction in clamping voltage compared to similar market solutions, making it ideal for protecting automotive ICs from catastrophic failure and maximizing system reliability
* Low capacitance helps to preserve signal integrity and minimize data loss
* Qualified for use in automotive electronics, ensuring maximum reliability
