Product details
Overview
ESDA25SC6Y from STMicroelectronics is an automotive-grade quad-line unidirectional Transil™ TVS diode array designed for ESD and EOS transient overvoltage protection on data and transmission lines. It features a 25 V minimum breakdown voltage (VBR), 400 W peak pulse power (8/20 µs), 9 A peak pulse current (IPP), 24 V clamping voltage at IPP, and AEC-Q101 qualification - deployed in infotainment signal lines, CAN/FlexRay interfaces, and USB connectivity ports.
For engineers reviewing the ESDA25SC6Y datasheet, ESDA25SC6Y pinout, ESDA25SC6Y application, or ESDA25SC6Y equivalent, key selection criteria include ISO 10605 ±30 kV ESD robustness, ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1/2a/3a/3b surge immunity, SOT23-6L footprint compatibility, low leakage (<1 µA at 24 V), and line capacitance of 60 pF for high-speed signal integrity.
Technical Context
The ESDA25SC6Y integrates four independent unidirectional TVS elements in a single monolithic silicon die, each clamping positive transients just above the system supply rail and negative transients to ~0.7 V below ground. Its architecture enables simultaneous protection of four bidirectional or unidirectional signal paths without cross-coupling.
It meets stringent automotive transient immunity requirements: ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 (–100 V), Pulse 2a (+50 V), Pulse 3a (–150 V), and Pulse 3b (+100 V), with thermal stability across –40 °C to +150 °C junction temperature and lead-free reflow compatibility per JEDEC J-STD-020.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VBR (min) | 25 V - Ensures reliable triggering above nominal 24 V system rails while avoiding false clamping during normal operation. |
| VCL @ IPP | 24 V at 9 A (8/20 µs) - Limits downstream IC stress to safe levels during ESD events without disrupting logic-level signaling. |
| CLINE (typ) | 60 pF - Maintains signal integrity on 10–100 Mbps automotive serial buses (e.g., LIN, SENT, low-speed CAN). |
| IPP | 9 A - Withstands ISO 7637-2 Pulse 3a (–150 V) and Pulse 3b (+100 V) surges with margin under worst-case PCB trace inductance. |
| PPP | 400 W (8/20 µs) - Delivers robust energy absorption for multi-pulse ESD and load-dump-like transients in compact SOT23-6L form factor. |
| TJ range | –40 °C to +150 °C - Supports under-hood and cabin-mounted applications without derating or thermal shutdown. |
Pinout & Package
ESDA25SC6Y is housed in a RoHS-compliant, halogen-free SOT23-6L package (JEDEC TO-236AB), measuring 2.8–3.05 mm × 1.5–1.75 mm × 1.1–1.45 mm, with gull-wing leads optimized for automated surface-mount assembly and reflow soldering per ST's recommended profile.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode 1 | Input terminal for first protected signal line; connects to external trace before IC input. |
| 2 | Cathode 1 | Clamp return path to ground for Line 1; must be routed with low-inductance ground plane connection. |
| 3 | Anode 2 | Input terminal for second protected signal line; electrically isolated from Pin 1. |
| 4 | Cathode 2 | Clamp return path to ground for Line 2; shares common cathode structure with Pins 2 and 6. |
| 5 | Anode 3 | Input terminal for third protected signal line; supports independent routing for differential pairs. |
| 6 | Cathode 3 / Cathode 4 | Shared cathode node for Lines 3 and 4; requires single low-impedance ground tie to minimize clamping voltage rise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad unidirectional protection | Four independent clamping paths in one device reduce PCB area by >60% vs. discrete diodes and eliminate inter-channel crosstalk risk. |
| AEC-Q101 qualified | Validated for automotive use including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD stress - eliminates need for additional qualification testing. |
| ISO 10605 ±30 kV compliance | Passes both air and contact discharge tests at 150 pF/330 Ω and 330 pF/330 Ω configurations - exceeds most OEM ESD requirements. |
| Low leakage current | <1 µA at 24 V (TA = 25 °C) - prevents signal attenuation and battery drain in always-on vehicle modules. |
| ECOPACK® packaging | Lead-free, halogen-free, UL94 V0 epoxy - satisfies global environmental mandates (RoHS, REACH, ELV) without performance trade-offs. |
Applications
| Infotainment Signal Protection | CAN Bus Interface Protection |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protecting HDMI, LVDS, or FPD-Link III video/data lines between head unit and display in automotive infotainment systems. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Unidirectional TVS array clamping ESD-induced voltage spikes before they reach serializer/deserializer IC inputs. Use Value: Prevents pixel corruption, screen flicker, or blackouts during door-handle ESD events while maintaining <60 pF line loading for 1.5 Gbps signal fidelity. |
Use Scenario: Shielding CAN_H and CAN_L lines at gateway ECUs against ESD and load dump coupling from adjacent 12 V circuits. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-line transient suppressor placed at connector entry point, referenced to chassis ground with minimal loop area. Use Value: Enables uninterrupted CAN communication during ISO 10605 ±30 kV discharges and ISO 7637-2 Pulse 3a (–150 V) without bus arbitration errors or node reset. |
| USB Type-C Port Protection | LIN/Sent Sensor Interface Protection |
|
Use Scenario: Safeguarding USB 2.0 D+/D– and VBUS lines in vehicle telematics modules exposed to user-accessible ports. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Four-channel TVS array covering both differential data pair and power line, with separate cathode paths to avoid ground bounce. Use Value: Meets USB-IF ESD requirements while limiting VCL to 24 V - protecting 3.3 V PHY transceivers without compromising hot-plug detection timing. |
Use Scenario: Securing LIN bus or SENT sensor inputs (e.g., pressure, temperature) in engine control units subject to under-hood ESD and ignition noise. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance unidirectional clamp on LIN TX/RX and SENT output lines, mounted within 5 mm of connector. Use Value: Maintains LIN baud rate accuracy (up to 20.2 kbaud) and SENT frame integrity by holding CLINE ≤60 pF and leakage <1 µA at 12 V supply. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar TVS array applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ESDA6V1SC6Y | Lower VBR (6.1 V min), lower VCL (5.2 V), higher CLINE (190 pF) | Targeted at 5 V logic buses (e.g., UART, SPI); unsuitable for 24 V systems due to premature conduction. | Select only for sub-12 V signal lines where tighter clamping and higher capacitance are acceptable. |
| ESDA14V2SC6Y | VBR = 14.2 V min, VCL = 12 V at 14 A, CLINE = 100 pF | Balances 12 V battery rail margin and ESD robustness; used in body control modules with mixed 5/12 V interfaces. | Preferred when protecting 12 V CAN/LIN nodes requiring higher IPP than ESDA25SC6Y but lower VBR than 24 V systems. |
Compared with ESDA6V1SC6Y and ESDA14V2SC6Y, ESDA25SC6Y provides optimal clamping headroom for 24 V automotive subsystems - avoiding false triggering during cold-crank dips while delivering superior surge energy handling and lower line capacitance for high-speed links.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating voltage for ESDA25SC6Y in continuous DC conditions?
The ESDA25SC6Y has a standoff voltage (VRWM) of 24 V, meaning it can sustain up to 24 V DC continuously without leakage exceeding 1 µA. This aligns with nominal 24 V automotive systems and provides 1 V margin below its 25 V minimum breakdown threshold to prevent unintended conduction during normal operation or cold-crank transients.
Can ESDA25SC6Y protect bidirectional signal lines like RS-485 or CAN?
No - ESDA25SC6Y is unidirectional and intended for single-ended or asymmetric signal paths referenced to ground. For true bidirectional lines such as CAN_H/CAN_L, two ESDA25SC6Y devices (one per line) or a dedicated bidirectional array like ESDALYV5-1BF3 is required to clamp both polarities effectively without forward-biasing during normal signaling.
How does the SOT23-6L package affect thermal performance during repeated ESD strikes?
The SOT23-6L package delivers a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (RθJA) of ~300 °C/W on standard 1 oz copper FR-4. Under repetitive 8/20 µs pulses at 1 Hz, the device remains within its –40 °C to +150 °C TJ limit if PCB layout includes ≥2 cm² of 2-layer ground copper directly under the package and short, wide traces to ground vias.
Is ESDA25SC6Y compatible with lead-free reflow profiles per JEDEC J-STD-020?
Yes - ESDA25SC6Y is qualified for lead-free reflow with a peak temperature of 260 °C for 10 seconds, matching JEDEC Level 1 moisture sensitivity and ST's recommended reflow profile (preheat 150–200 °C, soak 180–200 °C, ramp-up ≤3 °C/s, peak 235–260 °C, time above liquidus 60–150 s). No pre-baking is required for dry-packed reels.
