Product details
Overview
ESDCAN02-2BWY from STMicroelectronics is an AEC-Q101-qualified dual-line transient voltage suppressor (TVS) designed for bidirectional ESD and EOS protection of CAN H and CAN L signal lines in automotive networks. It features a breakdown voltage (VBR) of 28.5 V, clamping voltage (VCL) of 44 V at 3.7 A (8/20 µs), junction capacitance of 3 pF, and supports ISO 10605 ±30 kV contact/air discharge. It is deployed in high-speed CAN FD and LIN bus interfaces where low capacitance and fast response are critical.
For engineers reviewing the ESDCAN02-2BWY datasheet, ESDCAN02-2BWY pinout, ESDCAN02-2BWY application, or ESDCAN02-2BWY equivalent, key selection criteria include its SOT323-3L package footprint, 3 pF line-to-ground capacitance, -55 °C to +175 °C operating junction temperature, compliance with ISO 7637-3 Pulse 3a/3b, and verified performance under IEC 61000-4-4 EFT 4 kV.
Technical Context
This dual-channel TVS integrates two identical, symmetrically configured avalanche diodes in a single SOT323-3L package - one between CAN H and GND, the other between CAN L and GND - enabling simultaneous protection of both differential bus lines without polarity dependence. Its low dynamic impedance ensures rapid clamping during ISO 10605 ESD events and ISO 7637-3 load-dump transients.
The device operates with a stand-off voltage of 26.5 V (min), VBR = 28.5 V (typ), and achieves VCL = 44 V at 3.7 A peak pulse current (8/20 µs), delivering a clamping factor (VCL/VBR) of ~1.54. Its 3 pF capacitance per line preserves signal integrity on CAN FD buses up to 5 Mbps and supports compatibility with FlexRay and future CAN XL physical layers.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-line CAN bus TVS applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| NUP4202MR6T1G | Higher capacitance (12 pF), lower VBR (14 V), rated for 12 V systems only | Limited to legacy CAN (≤1 Mbps); unsuitable for CAN FD or LIN due to bandwidth restriction | Select only for cost-sensitive 12 V body electronics with no high-speed bus requirements |
| TPD2E001DRYR | Single-line configuration, 3.5 pF, 5 V VBR, not AEC-Q101 qualified | Requires two devices per CAN pair; lacks automotive qualification and ISO 7637-3 Pulse 3a/3b validation | Acceptable for non-automotive industrial CAN nodes but not for OEM production |
Compared with NUP4202MR6T1G and TPD2E001DRYR, ESDCAN02-2BWY uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 3 pF capacitance, 28.5 V VBR, and full ISO 7637-3 Pulse 3a/3b compliance - making it the only option qualified for CAN FD in safety-critical automotive domains.

FAQ
What is the maximum peak pulse current rating for ESDCAN02-2BWY?
The ESDCAN02-2BWY is rated for 3.7 A peak pulse current under the 8/20 µs waveform per IEC 61000-4-5. This value is measured at 25 °C ambient and derates linearly to approximately 2.2 A at 125 °C junction temperature, as confirmed by Figure 2 in DS12789 Rev 3.
Does ESDCAN02-2BWY require external biasing or control signals?
No. ESDCAN02-2BWY is a passive, bidirectional TVS diode array with no pins requiring voltage bias, enable signals, or configuration. It operates solely via avalanche breakdown when transient voltage exceeds VBR, and draws zero static current below 26.5 V.
Can ESDCAN02-2BWY be used on LIN bus lines?
Yes. With its 26.5–28.5 V VBR, 3 pF capacitance, and ±30 kV ESD rating, ESDCAN02-2BWY protects LIN bus lines against ESD and load-dump transients while preserving the 19.2 kbps data rate and 12 V supply margin required by LIN 2.2A specifications.
Is the SOT323-3L package lead-free and RoHS compliant?
Yes. ESDCAN02-2BWY uses ST's ECOPACK2-compliant SOT323-3L package, certified to RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and halogen-free per IEC 61249-2-21. The device meets UL94 V0 flammability rating and J-STD-020 MSL Level 1 moisture sensitivity classification.
