Product details
Overview
ESDA25LY from STMicroelectronics is an AEC-Q101-qualified dual unidirectional Transil™ diode array for automotive ESD protection, featuring 25 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR), 30 kV ESD immunity per ISO 10605, 300 W peak pulse power (8/20 µs), and 50 pF line capacitance-designed for signal-line protection in infotainment interfaces and CAN/LIN bus data lines.
For engineers reviewing the ESDA25LY datasheet, ESDA25LY pinout, ESDA25LY application, or ESDA25LY equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping voltage at 7 A (≤24 V), leakage current <1 µA at VRM, low-profile SOT23-3L packaging, and compliance with ISO 7637-3 fast/slow transients for automotive electronics.
Technical Context
This device implements two independent unidirectional avalanche diodes in a single SOT23-3L package, each configured as a stand-off/clamp pair to protect one signal line against ESD and electrical transients. It operates with a 25–30 V breakdown range and delivers ≤24 V clamping at 7 A (8/20 µs), enabling robust protection without signal distortion in high-speed analog or digital lines.
The diode array supports bidirectional suppression when only pins 1 and 2 are used, and its 50 pF capacitance at 0 V bias ensures minimal impact on signal integrity in 10–100 Mbps communication links. Thermal performance is rated for junction temperatures from –40 °C to +150 °C, supporting under-hood and dashboard deployment.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR min/max | 25 V / 30 V - defines minimum voltage threshold before avalanche conduction begins; ensures reliable stand-off during normal operation |
| VCL @ IPP = 7 A | ≤24 V - maximum clamped voltage during 8/20 µs surge; limits stress on downstream ICs |
| CLINE @ 0 V | 50 pF - low line-to-line capacitance preserves signal rise/fall times in high-speed data lines |
| IR @ VRM | <1 µA - ultra-low leakage prevents DC loading or battery drain in always-on automotive modules |
| PPP (8/20 µs) | 300 W - peak transient power handling capability compliant with ISO 10605 and ISO 7637-3 |
| ESD rating | ±30 kV air/contact discharge - exceeds AEC-Q101 requirements for automotive ESD immunity |
| TJ range | –40 °C to +150 °C - enables use in engine control units, body controllers, and ADAS sensor interfaces |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-3L package: 3-pin surface-mount plastic case with gull-wing leads, 1.4 mm × 1.3 mm footprint, 1.0 mm height, lead-free and RoHS-compliant per ECOPACK® standards.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode of Channel 1 | Connects to protected signal line; forms cathode-to-ground path for negative transients |
| 2 | Cathode (common ground reference) | Shared cathode node tied to system ground; provides return path for both channels |
| 3 | Anode of Channel 2 | Connects to second protected signal line; enables dual-line protection in compact layout |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual unidirectional Transil™ architecture | Two independent ESD protection paths sharing one ground pin-reduces PCB area by 40% vs. discrete diodes |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for automotive temperature cycling, humidity, mechanical shock, and lifetime reliability per JESD47 |
| Low 50 pF line capacitance | Enables use on USB 2.0, LIN, and low-speed CAN lines without signal degradation or timing skew |
| 30 kV ESD immunity (ISO 10605) | Guarantees survival and functionality after repeated contact/air discharge events in assembly and field environments |
| Clamping voltage ≤24 V @ 7 A | Protects 3.3 V and 5 V logic interfaces (e.g., microcontroller GPIO, transceiver I/O) from overvoltage damage |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual unidirectional ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ESDA6V1LY | Lower VBR (6.1–7.2 V), higher CLINE (140 pF), lower clamping (≤12 V @ 5 A) | Better suited for 5 V logic rails; not recommended for 24 V systems or high-speed lines due to capacitance | Select when protecting low-voltage MCU I/O where tighter clamping margin is critical and speed is secondary |
| ESDA14V2LY | Mid-range VBR (14.2–15.8 V), CLINE = 90 pF, clamping ≤12 V @ 5 A | Optimized for 12 V automotive supply domains (e.g., telematics, gateway modules); moderate speed trade-off | Choose for mixed-signal clusters requiring balance between clamping performance and bandwidth |
Compared with ESDA6V1LY and ESDA14V2LY, ESDA25LY offers superior voltage standoff for 24 V systems and lowest line capacitance-making it uniquely suitable for high-reliability, high-speed signal protection where both ESD robustness and signal fidelity are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum clamping voltage of ESDA25LY at 7 A?
The maximum clamping voltage (VCL) is 24 V when subjected to a 8/20 µs peak pulse current of 7 A, as specified in Table 2 of the official ST datasheet (DocID022075 Rev 2). This value ensures safe operation for 3.3 V and 5 V interface ICs without exceeding their absolute maximum ratings.
Can ESDA25LY be used for bidirectional ESD protection?
Yes-by connecting only pins 1 and 2 (leaving pin 3 unconnected), ESDA25LY functions as a single bidirectional suppressor. However, this configuration sacrifices dual-line protection and reduces effective ESD rating compared to full dual-unidirectional use per the device's functional diagram and application guidelines.
Is ESDA25LY compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes-ESDA25LY uses a lead-free SOT23-3L package qualified for standard Pb-free reflow profiles, including ST's recommended profile with peak temperature up to 260 °C for 10 seconds. The epoxy meets UL 94 V0 flammability rating and complies with ECOPACK® environmental specifications.
Does ESDA25LY meet ISO 7637-3 test requirements?
Yes-ESDA25LY is validated for ISO 7637-3 fast transients (Pulse a: –150 V; Pulse b: +100 V) and slow transients (+85 V / –85 V), as confirmed in Figures 7–10 of the datasheet. Its dynamic impedance (Rd = 1000 mΩ) and clamping behavior ensure compliance without external filtering components.
