Product details
Overview
LDP01-30AY from STMicroelectronics is an AEC-Q101-qualified automotive Transil™ TVS diode designed for load-dump protection in 12 V and 24 V vehicle electrical systems. It features a 30 V nominal breakdown voltage (28.9–31.9 V), 125 A peak pulse current (8/20 µs), 49 V clamping voltage at 125 A, 1 µA leakage at 27 V, and operates up to 175 °C junction temperature. It is used in alternator output line protection for engine control units and body control modules.
For engineers reviewing the LDP01-30AY datasheet, LDP01-30AY pinout, LDP01-30AY application, or LDP01-30AY equivalent, key selection criteria include ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a/5b and ISO 16750-2 Test A/B compliance, D²PAK thermal performance (Rth(j-c) = 0.24 °C/W), and low-temperature coefficient (αT = 9.7 × 10−4/°C) for stable clamping across automotive temperature ranges.
Technical Context
The LDP01-30AY employs planar silicon avalanche technology optimized for high-energy transient suppression in automotive power rails. Its bidirectional configuration enables symmetrical clamping during both positive and negative load-dump events, with dynamic impedance of 65 mΩ (10/1000 µs) and 1400 mΩ (8/20 µs).
It meets stringent automotive surge standards including ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (±150 V), Pulse 5b (±87 V), and ISO 16750-2 Tests A (up to +75 V) and B (up to +80 V), while maintaining <1 µA leakage at 27 V and full functionality up to Tj = 175 °C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 28.9–31.9 V at 1 mA - defines minimum trigger threshold for load-dump clamping |
| Clamping Voltage (VCL) | 49 V at 125 A (8/20 µs) - maximum voltage seen by protected IC during worst-case surge |
| Peak Pulse Current | 125 A (8/20 µs) - supports robust protection against ISO 16750-2 Test A 75 V surges with 0.5 Ω source impedance |

IC Role / Device Role: Load-dump protector on 12 V input before buck converter, rated for continuous 175 °C junction operation. Use Value: Enables reliable operation at Tj = 175 °C with no derating, critical for sealed camera housings near exhaust manifolds. |
Use Scenario: Suppresses inductive kickback and alternator surges in EPS motor driver power stage during rapid torque transitions. IC Role / Device Role: Secondary TVS on high-side gate driver supply rail, complementing primary D²PAK on main battery input. Use Value: Delivers 1400 mΩ dynamic impedance at 8/20 µs to limit voltage overshoot to <55 V during 100 A motor phase-switching events. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar automotive load-dump protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ30A | Unidirectional, SMA package, Rth(j-c) ≈ 50 °C/W, VCL = 48.4 V @ 100 A (8/20 µs) | Limited to lower-energy transients; unsuitable for ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a without parallel staging | Select when space-constrained and surge energy <100 mJ; requires external thermal management |
| SMCJ33A | Unidirectional, SMC package, VBR = 33–36.7 V, VCL = 53.3 V @ 113 A (8/20 µs), Tj max = 150 °C | Higher clamping voltage and lower temperature rating reduce margin in high-ambient under-hood use | Choose for cost-sensitive non-critical modules where 175 °C operation is not required |
Compared with SMAJ30A and SMCJ33A, the LDP01-30AY provides superior thermal capability (0.24 °C/W vs. >40 °C/W), full bidirectional clamping, and guaranteed 175 °C operation-making it the only option qualified for direct alternator-line placement in modern ASIL-B power domains.

FAQ
Is LDP01-30AY unidirectional or bidirectional?
LDP01-30AY is a bidirectional TVS diode, with both anodes electrically connected internally and cathode serving as the common reference. This configuration enables symmetrical clamping of both positive and negative transients-essential for meeting ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a (+150 V) and Pulse 5b (−87 V) requirements without polarity-sensitive placement.
What is the recommended PCB layout for thermal performance?
For optimal thermal performance, the cathode tab must be soldered to a ≥10 cm² copper pour on the top layer, thermally connected via ≥6 thermal vias (0.3 mm diameter, 0.6 mm pitch) to an internal ground plane. ST recommends using 2 oz copper and minimizing solder mask coverage over the tab to achieve Rth(j-a) < 25 °C/W in standard 4-layer boards.
Does LDP01-30AY meet ISO 16750-2 Test B requirements?
Yes-LDP01-30AY is validated for ISO 16750-2 Test B (UA + Us* = 13.5 + 30 V, Us = 87 V, td = 400 ms, Ri = 0.5 Ω), clamping to ≤49 V at 125 A. Figure 12 in the datasheet shows Us* vs. Ri curves confirming compliance up to 80 V with Ri ≥ 0.5 Ω, making it suitable for EPS and transmission control unit power inputs.
Can LDP01-30AY replace LDP01-28AY or LDP01-33AY in existing designs?
LDP01-30AY is not a drop-in replacement due to its specific 30 V nominal breakdown (28.9–31.9 V). Substituting it for LDP01-28AY (26.7–29.5 V) risks premature triggering; replacing LDP01-33AY (31.1–34.3 V) may allow excessive voltage stress during surges. Design validation per ISO 7637-2 Pulse 5a/5b is required for any cross-part change.
