ESD protection for automotive networks
As the amount of in-car electronics increases, ESD is becoming a real challenge for automotive systems designers. Failures in electronic control units (ECUs) due to ESD or other transient pulses not only damage the maker's reputation, they put lives at risk.
We offer a range of high-performance ESD protection diodes that are ideal for automotive use. You can use them to protect Local Interconnect Network (LIN) bus transceivers, Controller Area Network (CAN) bus transceivers and other ESD–sensitive automotive electronic components. They help you improve the reliability of your complete system.
Key features
- Excellent ESD clamping performance
- Ultra low leakage current
- Low device capacitance
- ESD protection up to 23 kV
- IEC 61000-4-2, level 4–compliant (8 kV contact, 15 kV air discharge)
- Optimized diode structure
Key benefits
- Best-in-class ESD protection
- Outstanding size / performance ratio
- Optimal electromagnetic immunity (EMI)
- Dedicated types for CAN and LIN systems
- Compact, industry-standard SOT23 and SOD323 (SC-76) packages
Key applications
- Protecting ECUs such as CAN and LIN transceivers from damage due to ESD and other transient pulses
- Data and audio interfaces e.g. car multimedia
- Over-voltage protection e.g. airbag controllers)
- Car-driver interface protection e.g. dashboard panels
