ESD Protection for Automotive In-Vehicle Networks

These devices from Nexperia are engineered to protect two automotive network bus lines from damage caused by ESD and other transients. They are housed in compact SOT23 and SOT323 packages, making them ideal for space-constrained designs. The automotive-qualified variants (denoted by the "-Q" suffix) meet AEC-Q101 standards, ensuring high reliability and robustness in harsh environments. With a reverse stand-off voltage (VRWM) of 36 V and low clamping voltages, these devices provide excellent protection for CAN, CAN-FD, and FlexRay applications. The PESD2CANFD36 series offers low capacitance, high ESD protection up to 22 kV, and low leakage current, making them a reliable choice for modern automotive designs.
