The TESDA1L2B17P1Q1 is an ESD protection device designed for a single LIN bus signal line, providing effective immunity against electrostatic discharge and transient surge events. Typical LIN applications include seat control systems, door locking modules, mirror adjustment units, and sensor interfaces such as rain sensors.

The LIN bus employs a single-wire serial communication scheme with a maximum data rate of 20 kbit/s. The operating bus voltage is approximately equal to the vehicle supply voltage, typically around 14.4V in a 12V automotive system. External ESD protection on the LIN bus is recommended to enhance module ESD robustness, as the LIN line may be shorted to the battery and must withstand the maximum battery voltage.

To maintain signal integrity at 20 kbit/s, diode capacitance should be below 100 pF, with values under 30 pF preferred.

The TESDA24VB6P02CX, designed for CAN Bus FD (CAN with Flexible Data-Rate) safeguards differential communication lines from electrostatic discharge, surge pulses, electromagnetic interference, and fast transient disturbances commonly encountered in automotive and industrial environments. Because CAN-FD supports significantly higher data rates—typically from 5 Mbps to 8 Mbps—the protection device must feature extremely low parasitic capacitance so it does not load the bus, distort the differential eye diagram, or slow signal edges.

With its ultra-low capacitance and robust surge capability, the TESDA24VB6P02CX ensures clean, stable CAN-FD communication even in harsh automotive conditions such as load dump, inductive switching, and ESD events. This allows engineers to achieve higher data-rate margins, reduce EMI design risk, and enhance overall system reliability without compromising signal integrity—an increasingly critical requirement in modern vehicle architectures.

Taiwan Semiconductor  (TSC), a global supplier of discrete power electronics devices, LED drivers, analog ICs and ESD protection devices, announces its new 1200V low-loss diodes for power electronics systems.

The current rating are from 15-60A with ThinDPAK, D2PAK-D and TO-247BD packages available.

The low V_F reduces DC conduction losses to achieve greater power efficiencies. TSC provides SPICE models, thermal models and 3D CAD files on the TSC website to support design simulation.

Engineered for demanding, high-temperature operation, these diodes offer a maximum junction temperature(T_J of 175°C. This exceptional thermal performance, combined with the low conduction loss, makes them ideal for enhancing reliability and minimizing the heatsink requirements in high-density applications like EV charging and server power supplies.

Applications range from three-phase AC/DC converters, totem pole bridgeless topologies and other power electronics applications such as server power, battery charging, networking, data-telecom, inverters and more.

SUPER CLAMP series TVS diodes with snapback characteristics features a superior optimized clamping ratio between the designated breakdown voltage and clamping voltage. And a wide operation range of -55°C to 175°C meeting the automotive applications. This optimized clamping ratio provides a lower clamping voltage to protect the circuit at a much higher peak pulse current than conventional TVS diodes.

To ensure maximum safety and reliability against the harshest electrical events, Taiwan Semiconductor introduces a series of 5000W SMC Transient Voltage Suppressors for automotive applications. The new 5KSMCXX Series offers high energy absorption capabilities to effectively guard against surges caused by lightning strikes and switching power supplies. The SMC package not only facilitates surface mount assembly but also provides excellent thermal dissipation in high-power applications.

600V Super Junction (SJ) family expands with new products within compact PDFN88 and robust TOLL packages. These advanced package options offer improved thermal performance, higher power density, and efficient PCB layout flexibility. Ideal for space-constrained and high-efficiency applications, they deliver enhanced reliability and performance.
