ESDCAN02-2BWY - Automotive Dual-Line CAN Bus ESD Protection

The ESDCAN02-2BWY from STMicroelectronics is a robust, high-performance device designed to protect automotive Controller Area Network (CAN) bus lines from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) and other transient voltage events. Engineered to safeguard sensitive electronics in vehicles, this dual-line Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) diode offers a strong line of defense against the rigors of on-the-road conditions.

This device is specifically tailored for CAN or CAN-FD bus lines, providing bidirectional clamping with a low clamping voltage and low capacitance to ensure signal integrity. The ESDCAN02-2BWY is capable of withstanding ESD strikes up to the IEC 61000-4-2 level 4 standard, absorbing repetitive ESD strikes at ±30 kV without performance degradation, and safely shunting up to 2 kV (IEC 61000-4-5 8/20 μs) surge pulses.

The compact SOT-23-3L package makes the ESDCAN02-2BWY suitable for space-constrained applications, allowing for easy integration into existing designs. The device's low leakage current and high surge protection features make it an ideal choice for protecting sensitive electronic components in automotive environments, where reliability and durability are paramount.

Key features of the ESDCAN02-2BWY include:

• ESD protection up to ±30 kV (contact discharge)
• Automotive-grade qualification - AEC-Q101 compliant
• Low clamping voltage to protect the transceiver
• Low capacitance to preserve signal integrity
• Support for CAN and CAN-FD protocols
• PPAP (Production Part Approval Process) available

Applications for the ESDCAN02-2BWY extend across various automotive domains, including onboard diagnostics, infotainment systems, telematics, and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), where reliable communication is critical. It provides automotive engineers with a reliable solution for ESD protection in their CAN bus systems, ensuring long-term functionality and safety for vehicle electronic systems.

By incorporating the ESDCAN02-2BWY into their designs, automotive manufacturers can significantly enhance the ESD robustness of their electronic modules, contributing to overall vehicle reliability and customer satisfaction.
