Automotive-grade TVS diode arrays ensure reliability in harsh environments

Littelfuse has introduced two series of AEC-Q101-qualified TVS Diode Arrays (SPA Diodes). The AQHV and AQHV-C series has been developed to give very fast acting, high performance over-voltage protection devices perfectly suited for passenger charging interfaces, power interfaces, and well as LED lighting modules, and low speed I/Os. The 200W discrete AQHV Series (unidirectional) and AQHV-C (bidirectional) protect sensitive equipment from damage due to ESD and other overvoltage transients. Both series can safely absorb repetitive ESD strikes above the maximum level needed by international standards without performance degradation and safely dissipate up to 8A (for AQHV12) of induced surge current with very low clamping voltages.
