This AEC-Q101 qualified device helps maximize the reliability of automotive electronics applications like drive-by-wire (CAN BUS) systems, engine control modules, powertrain electronics, anti-lock brakes, airbags and other safety circuits. It is also suitable for use in industrial CAN bus applications that are susceptible to damage due to lightning-induced transients or ESD.

The SM24CANA Series’ lower dynamic resistance provides a 10 percent improvement compared to similar solutions available in the market. It provides the consumer with a higher order protection solution, helping to extend the life of mission critical equipment, ” said Chad Marak, Product Director for the TVS Diode Array product line.

“Providing more robust, ESD protection while meeting all of the requirements of the rigorous automotive AEC-Q101 qualification regime, I expect the SM24CANA to be a new benchmark for automotive circuit protection applications.”

Features:

－ Enhanced ESD and surge protection permits worry-free product implementation in automotive environments, with protection well in excess of the IEC61000-4-2 standard (±8kV).

－ Low dynamic resistance (0.7Ω typical) ensures superior clamping protection, providing a 10 percent reduction in clamping voltage versus similar market solutions. This makes the SM24CANA Series ideal for protecting automotive ICs from catastrophic failure to maximize system reliability.

－ Low capacitance (11pF typical) helps to preserve signal integrity and minimizes data loss.

－ AEC-Q101 qualified for use in automotive electronics, which ensures maximum reliability.
