Semtech Introduces New AEC-Q100 Qualified Protection Array for Automotive CAN Bus Nodes (Photo: Business Wire) "CAN continues to be an important and prolific bus used in today's automotive system designs," said Tamir Reshef, Product Marketing Director for Semtech's Protection Products Group. "The new µClamp2492SQ, with its superior ESD robustness and low clamping voltage performance, provides automotive engineers a much needed solution to safeguard CAN nodes." The CAN networking bus has long served as the backbone of vehicle networking and is widely used in today's vehicles. To adequately provide ESD immunity, CAN nodes require ESD protection devices with 24V working voltage and a low ESD clamping voltage to safeguard bus nodes from the harsh electrical environment in the car. The two-line, 24V µClamp2492SQ offers a low ESD clamping voltage while minimizing loading capacitance, making it suitable for higher speed versions of CAN, including CAN 2.0 and CAN FD. The µClamp2492SQ is housed in an industry standard SOT-23 3L package, and provides two lines of robust transient protection. The device far exceeds the IEC61000-4-2 ESD immunity standards, offering an industry-leading protection level of ±30kV air and ±30kV contact, and is qualified to Grade 1 of the AEC-Q100 Automoive Standard.
