Product details
Overview
NNCD36ST-T1-AT from Renesas Electronics is an ESD noise clipping diode designed for bidirectional transient voltage suppression on CAN bus lines, featuring a 33–39 V breakdown voltage (VBR), ≤0.1 µA reverse leakage at 27 V, and 9 pF capacitance at 0 V/1 MHz - enabling low-capacitance, high-speed protection in automotive and industrial CAN networks.
For engineers reviewing the NNCD36ST-T1-AT datasheet, NNCD36ST-T1-AT pinout, NNCD36ST-T1-AT application, or NNCD36ST-T1-AT equivalent, key selection criteria include its SC-70 package footprint, ±15 kV IEC61000-4-2 ESD rating, 85 W surge reverse power capability, and suitability for CAN physical layer signal integrity preservation under fast transients.
Technical Context
The NNCD36ST-T1-AT operates as a bidirectional clamping diode with symmetrical positive/negative breakdown characteristics, optimized for CAN bus differential pair protection where low capacitance (<10 pF) minimizes signal distortion at 1 Mbps data rates. Its thermal design supports 200 mW steady-state dissipation on standard 50 mm × 50 mm PCBs.
It complies with IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 (±15 kV contact discharge) and withstands non-repetitive 85 W surge pulses (tT = 10 µs), making it suitable for harsh electromagnetic environments typical in automotive body control modules and industrial fieldbus nodes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Breakdown Voltage | 33–39 V (clamps transients above CAN common-mode range without interfering with 2.5–3.5 V logic levels) |
| Capacitance | 9 pF at 0 V, 1 MHz (preserves signal edge integrity in high-speed CAN FD applications) |
| ESD Rating | ±15 kV per IEC61000-4-2 (meets automotive OEM requirements for connector-level ESD immunity) |
| Surge Power | 85 W (10 µs pulse; handles load dump and inductive switching spikes on vehicle networks) |
| Reverse Leakage | ≤0.1 µA at 27 V (minimizes standby current impact on CAN bias networks) |
| Package | SC-70 (3-pin Super Mini Mold; enables 1.25 mm × 2.1 mm board area, compatible with automated SMT assembly) |
Pinout & Package
Supplied in a Pb-free, pure tin-plated 3-pin SC-70 (Super Mini Mold) package with gull-wing leads, optimized for high-density CAN transceiver interface layouts and reflow-compatible mounting.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| 2 | Common Cathode/Anode Node | Internal connection point between two anti-series diodes; ties to ground reference plane |
| 3 | Cathode (Anode of internal negative clamp) | Connects to CAN_L line; completes symmetric clamping structure across differential pair |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional Clamping | Equal positive/negative VBR symmetry ensures consistent protection on both CAN_H and CAN_L against polarity-reversed transients |
| Low Capacitance | 9 pF enables use in 500 kbps–1 Mbps CAN systems without measurable rise-time degradation |
| IEC61000-4-2 Compliance | Rated for ±15 kV contact discharge - satisfies Tier-1 automotive ESD test plans without external filtering |
| SC-70 Footprint | 1.25 mm × 2.1 mm outline allows placement adjacent to CAN transceiver ICs with minimal trace length |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPD2E001DRYR | Lower VBR (5.5–7.5 V), higher Ct (15 pF), dual-channel layout | Targeted at USB/low-voltage I/O; insufficient standoff for 27 V CAN common-mode | Select only if protecting sub-5 V buses; not suitable for direct CAN_H/L placement |
| ESDALC6V1-1U2 | Same VBR range (30–40 V), lower surge rating (30 W), 12 pF capacitance | Qualified per AEC-Q200; rated for 125°C operation but lacks 85 W pulse handling | Prefer for extended temperature designs where peak surge energy is limited to ≤30 W |
Compared with TPD2E001DRYR and ESDALC6V1-1U2, the NNCD36ST-T1-AT uniquely balances 33–39 V standoff, 9 pF capacitance, and 85 W surge capacity - making it the only option among the three validated for full IEC61000-4-2 Level 4 and ISO 16750-2 load-dump robustness in CAN physical layer protection.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the NNCD36ST-T1-AT in a CAN bus system?
The NNCD36ST-T1-AT functions as a bidirectional ESD noise clipping diode that clamps transient overvoltages on CAN_H and CAN_L lines. It protects downstream CAN transceivers from electrostatic discharge and surge events by activating at 33–39 V while maintaining low 9 pF capacitance to avoid signal integrity degradation. Its design ensures reliable operation in automotive and industrial CAN networks where robustness against ±15 kV ESD is required.
Does the NNCD36ST-T1-AT meet automotive ESD standards?
Yes, the NNCD36ST-T1-AT complies with IEC61000-4-2 up to ±15 kV contact discharge, satisfying Level 4 requirements commonly mandated for automotive electronic control units. This certification is confirmed in the original Renesas datasheet D18881EJ1V0DS00 and applies directly to the NNCD36ST-T1-AT variant, making it suitable for CAN bus protection in body control modules and telematics units without additional external filtering.
What is the maximum surge power rating for the NNCD36ST-T1-AT?
The NNCD36ST-T1-AT has a non-repetitive surge reverse power rating of 85 W at a 10 µs pulse width, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table of its datasheet. This value reflects its ability to absorb high-energy transients such as those induced by load dump or inductive switching in vehicle electrical systems - a critical parameter distinguishing it from lower-rated alternatives like the ESDALC6V1-1U2.
Can the NNCD36ST-T1-AT be used in place of the NNCD18ST-T1-AT?
No - the NNCD36ST-T1-AT is not a drop-in replacement for the NNCD18ST-T1-AT due to differing breakdown voltage ranges (33–39 V vs. 16–20 V) and application scope. The NNCD18ST-T1-AT targets lower-voltage CAN variants or LIN bus protection, whereas the NNCD36ST-T1-AT is engineered for full 27 V common-mode CAN systems. Substitution would risk premature clamping or inadequate protection depending on bus voltage margins.
Is the NNCD36ST-T1-AT RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the NNCD36ST-T1-AT is Pb-free, with pure tin (Sn) lead plating on all external electrodes as stated in the Ordering Information section of the Renesas datasheet. It meets RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU requirements and carries the "Note Pb-free" designation, confirming absence of lead in both terminations and internal construction - essential for compliance in automotive and industrial manufacturing environments.
