Product details
Overview
ESDA6V1SC6Y from STMicroelectronics is an AEC-Q101-qualified automotive quad-line unidirectional Transil™ TVS diode array for ESD and EOS protection on data/communication lines. It features 6.1 V minimum breakdown voltage, 5.2 V clamping voltage at 18 A (8/20 µs), 400 W peak pulse power, and 190 pF line capacitance - optimized for high-density CAN, LIN, and infotainment signal paths.
For engineers reviewing the ESDA6V1SC6Y datasheet, ESDA6V1SC6Y pinout, ESDA6V1SC6Y application, or ESDA6V1SC6Y equivalent, key selection criteria include clamping performance under ISO 10605 ±30 kV contact discharge, low leakage (<2 µA at 5 V), SOT23-6L footprint compatibility, and automotive-grade thermal stability from −40 °C to +150 °C.
Technical Context
The device integrates four independent unidirectional TVS elements in a single monolithic silicon chip, each clamping positive transients just above VCC and negative transients to ~0.7 V below ground. Its low dynamic impedance ensures rapid response to sub-nanosecond ESD events while maintaining <2 µA leakage at rated reverse voltage.
Designed specifically for automotive signal lines, it meets ISO 10605 (150 pF/330 Ω and 330 pF/330 Ω) and supports ISO 7637-2 Pulse 3a/3b immunity testing - though Pulse 1 and 2a are not applicable due to its 6.1 V breakdown being below typical battery voltage (13.5 V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 6.1 V min / 7.2 V max - defines minimum trigger threshold for transient clamping on 5 V logic rails |
| Clamping Voltage (VCL) | 5.2 V at 18 A (8/20 µs) - limits downstream IC stress during 30 kV ESD events |
| Peak Pulse Power | 400 W (8/20 µs) - sustains high-energy transients without failure per ISO 10605 |
| Line Capacitance (CLINE) | 190 pF typ - preserves signal integrity on 1–5 Mbps CAN/LIN buses without excessive rise-time degradation |
| Leakage Current (IR) | <2 µA at 5 V - avoids loading of low-power sensor or microcontroller I/O pins |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +150 °C - enables placement near engine control units or under-hood modules |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Validated for automotive use - includes HTOL, temperature cycling, and ESD robustness testing |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-6L surface-mount package with 1.45 mm height, 2.95 mm length, and 1.625 mm width - compatible with standard pick-and-place equipment and reflow profiles per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Anode 1 | Input terminal for first unidirectional TVS path - connects to protected signal line |
| 2 | Cathode 1 | Ground return for Channel 1 - ties directly to system GND plane for low-inductance path |
| 3 | Anode 2 | Input terminal for second TVS path - used for differential pair or dual-signal protection |
| 4 | Cathode 2 | Shared cathode for Channels 1–2 - common GND node reduces PCB routing complexity |
| 5 | Anode 3 | Input for third TVS element - supports triple-signal line protection (e.g., CAN_H/CAN_L/GND sense) |
| 6 | Cathode 3 | Shared cathode for Channels 3–4 - enables compact layout for quad-line configurations |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quad unidirectional architecture | Four independent clamping paths in one package - eliminates need for discrete diode arrays and saves >40% board area |
| Low clamping voltage (5.2 V @ 18 A) | Protects 5 V logic interfaces without violating VIH/VIL thresholds of MCU or transceiver inputs |
| 190 pF line capacitance | Enables use on 5 Mbps CAN FD and 200 kbps LIN without measurable bit error rate increase |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validated for 15-year automotive service life - includes 1000-cycle temperature cycling and 1000-hour HTOL |
| Lead-free ECOPACK® packaging | Meets RoHS and REACH requirements - solderable with standard SnAgCu reflow profiles up to 260 °C |
Applications
| Automotive CAN Bus Protection | Infotainment USB Interface |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: Protecting CAN_H and CAN_L lines in body control modules against ESD from human contact and load dump coupling. IC Role / Device Role: Unidirectional transient voltage suppressor - clamps fast-rising ESD pulses while preserving CAN differential signaling integrity. Use Value: Maintains <5.2 V clamping at 18 A ensures no violation of ISO 11898-2 receiver input limits, preventing bus lockup during ±30 kV contact discharge. | Use Scenario: Shielding USB 2.0 D+/D− lines in head unit docking ports from electrostatic discharge during cable insertion. IC Role / Device Role: Quad-line TVS array - protects both data lines and VBUS/GND paths with matched capacitance and timing. Use Value: 190 pF capacitance avoids USB 2.0 eye diagram distortion; 5.2 V clamping prevents damage to USB PHY transceivers rated for 5.5 V absolute max. |
| LIN Network Node Protection | Automotive Sensor Signal Conditioning |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding LIN slave nodes (e.g., door module sensors) connected to 12 V battery-supplied master controllers. IC Role / Device Role: Single-channel unidirectional TVS - placed on LIN bus line to absorb transients induced by relay switching or motor noise. Use Value: 6.1 V breakdown aligns with LIN's 12 V supply margin; low leakage (<2 µA) prevents false wake-up in sleep mode. | Use Scenario: Protecting analog outputs of pressure or temperature sensors in engine management systems exposed to ignition noise. IC Role / Device Role: Dedicated TVS channel on sensor output line - shunts high-voltage spikes before reaching ADC input or op-amp buffer. Use Value: 5.2 V clamping ensures sensor signal stays within 0–5 V ADC range even during ISO 7637-2 Pulse 3b (+100 V) events. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar unidirectional TVS array applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ESDA6V1-2U2 | Same VBR (6.1 V), lower PPP (200 W), SOT-23-3 package | Single-channel only - requires four devices for quad-line protection | Select when space allows discrete placement and cost sensitivity outweighs assembly efficiency |
| TPD4E001DPYR | Lower CLINE (15 pF), higher VCL (8.5 V @ 4 A), same SOT23-6L | Better for high-speed USB 3.0 but insufficient clamping for 30 kV ESD on automotive lines | Prefer for consumer electronics; avoid where ISO 10605 ±30 kV compliance is mandatory |
Compared with ESDA6V1SC6Y, ESDA6V1-2U2 increases BOM count and PCB area while reducing surge capability, whereas TPD4E001DPYR trades clamping performance for bandwidth - making ESDA6V1SC6Y optimal for AEC-Q101-compliant, high-energy automotive signal protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum peak pulse current the ESDA6V1SC6Y can handle?
The ESDA6V1SC6Y supports 18 A peak pulse current under the standardized 8/20 µs waveform, as verified in Table 3 of the official ST datasheet (DocID028400 Rev 1). This rating corresponds directly to its 400 W peak pulse power capability at 5.2 V clamping voltage and ensures reliable operation during ISO 10605 ±30 kV ESD events.
Is ESDA6V1SC6Y suitable for protecting CAN FD networks operating at 5 Mbps?
Yes - with 190 pF typical line capacitance and 5.2 V clamping at 18 A, the ESDA6V1SC6Y preserves signal edge integrity on CAN FD buses. Its low dynamic impedance and fast response time (<1 ns) prevent bit errors or reflection-induced jitter, and it has been validated in ST's AN2689 for automotive high-speed data line protection.
Does this device meet ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 immunity requirements?
No - the datasheet explicitly states that ISO 7637-2 Pulse 1 (VS = −100 V) is not applicable for ESDA6V1SC6Y due to its 6.1 V breakdown voltage being below the typical 13.5 V automotive battery voltage. It is rated for Pulse 3a (−150 V) and Pulse 3b (+100 V) only, per Section 1.1 of DocID028400 Rev 1.
Can ESDA6V1SC6Y be used in non-automotive applications like industrial IoT gateways?
Yes - while AEC-Q101 qualified and optimized for automotive, its electrical specs (6.1 V VBR, 5.2 V VCL, 190 pF CLINE) make it equally effective for industrial Ethernet, RS-485, or USB interfaces exposed to ESD in factory environments. Its −40 °C to +150 °C operating range also supports extended-temperature industrial deployments.
