TVS Diode Proves Road Worthy

The AEC-Q101-qualified TPSMB Series automotive TVS diode combines up to 600W of peak pulse power dissipation with fast response. A high-voltage, single-component circuit protection solution, it eliminates the need to use multiple TVS Diodes in series to provide adequate protection.

 

With a standoff voltage range from 10V to 550V for both unidirectional and bidirectional forms, the series is viable for protecting I/O interfaces and Vcc buses, for starts. Typical applications include automotive electronic control units (ECUs), BCMs/LIN Bus/CAN Bus, sensors, on-board entertainment systems, Xenon head lamp ignitors, IGBT active clamping in HVAC and convertor/invertor systems, and series battery protection in battery management systems.

 

TPSMB Series Automotive TVS Diodes are available in tape and reel format in quantities of 3,000. Samples are available upon request. For more details and specs, a TPSMB Series datasheet is available. For more details and sample requests, contact Littelfuse Inc., Chicago, IL. 773-628-1000
