Nexperia ESD Protection

Nexperia introduced an AEC-Q101 qualified portfolio with six ESD protection devices (PESD2CANFD36XX-Q) designed to protect bus lines in automotive in-vehicle networks (IVN) such as LIN, CAN, CAN-FD, FlexRay and SENT from damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD) and other transients. As data rates increase and vehicles feature more electrification, the need for ESD protection is becoming ever more critical. Providing the right protection for automotive modules is a continuous challenge for design engineers.

Key features

• Reverse stand-off voltage: V_RWM = 36 V
• Low clamping voltage
• ESD protection up to 15 kV (IEC 61000-4-2)
• Low capacitance

Additional features

• Three different ultra-low capacitance classes of 4.3 pF, 6 pF and 10 pF, which help ensure a smooth communication between interfaces without impacting signal integrity
• Reverse stand-off voltage: V_RWM = 36 V
• Low clamping voltage of V_CL= 48 V at I_PP = 1 A to provide the best-in-class system-level robustness for IVN.
• ESD protection up to 15 kV (IEC 61000-4-2)
• Low capacitance
• Qualified according to AEC-Q101 and recommended for use in automotive applications
• SOT23 and SOT323 packages

Applications

• 24 V board net / truck systems
• CAN / CAN-FD
• FlexRay
