TVS diode arrays optimised for use with all automotive electronics systems

Littelfuse has introduced 16 series of Automotive Qualified TVS Diode Arrays (SPA Diodes) that are PPAP capable. They offer automakers and high-end industrial manufacturers the assurance of a known and reputable single origin flow from wafer creation to testing of the devices used in their products. These AEC-Q101 qualified diodes offer a compelling and durable protection approach for current and emerging interfaces in the automotive ecosystem for charging lines, control lines, data lines, and drivetrain, as well as for communication ports, plus antennas, against damage due to ESDs, EFTs, and other overvoltage transients. “These AEC-Q101 compliant TVS Diode Arrays give automakers and industrial manufacturers a wider choice of automotive qualified devices from which to choose,” said Tim Micun, business development manager/TVS Diode Arrays (SPA Diodes) at Littelfuse. “They offer both uni-directional and bi-directional overvoltage protection solutions suitable for a broad variety of automotive electronics applications.”
