Like a growing number of devices designed for use in automotive electronics, the AQ24CANFD Series is PPAP-capable, which means Littelfuse uses the Production Part Approval Process to confirm that the device’s supplier understands the design specifications and has a process capable of producing product to meet these requirements, during an actual production run, at the quoted production rate.
Automotive applications for AQ24CANFD Series TVS Diode Arrays include protecting:
• Drive-by-wire (CAN BUS) lines.
• Engine control modules.
• Anti-lock brakes.
• Air bag and other safety circuits.
• Electronic control units.
• Body control units.
• ADAS control units.
• Power train control units.
They are also suitable for factory automation and lightning control (DALI) applications.
“These PPAP-capable devices provide enhanced performance verification across a wider temperature range than most commercial products can offer and the clearly defined product flow from wafer creation to back-end processes ensures their provenance,” said Tim Micun Business Development Manager, TVS Diode Arrays (SPA Diodes) at Littelfuse.
“Our raw material supplier partnerships ensure a predictable pricing component lifetime cycle and allow offering same-site assembly over multiple design-in cycles.”
AQ24CANFD Series TVS Diode Arrays offer these key benefits:
• Enhanced ESD (21kV) and surge (3A) protection well in excess of industry standards allows for worry-free use in demanding automotive environments.
• Low dynamic resistance (0.5Ω RDYN) provides for a 10 percent reduction in clamping voltage when compared to similar market solutions for superior clamping performance.
• Low capacitance (11.5 pF typ.) helps preserve signal integrity and minimise data loss.
AQ24CANFD Series TVS Diode Arrays are available in surface-mount SOT23-3 packaging in tape and reel format in quantities of 3,000. Sample requests may be placed through authorised Littelfuse distributors worldwide.
