TVS diode arrays ensure maximum reliability in automotive electronics applications

Littelfuse has introduced a series of AEC-Q101-qualified TVS Diode Arrays optimised to protect automotive CAN lines from damage due to ESDs, EFTs and other overvoltage transients. The AQ24CANFD Series TVS Diode Arrays can absorb repetitive ESD strikes above the maximum level defined in industry standards without performance degradation and can safely endure 3A surges at a very low clamping voltage. Similar to a growing number of devices produced for use in automotive electronics, the series is PPAP-capable. This means the company uses the Production Part Approval Process to confirm that the device’s supplier understands the design specifications and has a process capable of producing products to meet these demands, during a real production run, at the quoted production rate.
