Automotive TVS diodes

14 June 2017 Circuit & System Protection

Littelfuse introduced a series of AEC-Q101 qualified TVS diodes designed specifically to protect sensitive electronic equipment from voltage transients induced by load dump and other transient voltage events.

SLD8S series automotive SMT transient voltage suppression (TVS) diodes offer a choice of 7000 W (10/1000 s) or 2200 W (load dump) peak pulse power dissipation ratings in a surface-mount SMTO-263 package. These high-peak pulse power dissipation ratings allow power systems to pass the

ISO 7637-2 5a, 5b surge tests and meet the ISO 16750-2 load dump waveform standard, which are widely used in the automotive industry as the basis for transient specifications. Their surface-mount package is ideal for automatic pick-and-place assembly and reflow processes.

The parts are well suited for applications such as load dump protection and ESD protection in automotive electronics like transmission control units (TCU), electronic control units (ECU), body control modules (BCM), battery management systems (BMS), sensors and entertainment systems, as well as in other long pulse applications that require high reliability.
