Product details
Overview
NUP3125WTT1G from onsemi is a dual-line bidirectional CAN bus transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode array in SC-70 (SOT-323) package, designed to protect 24 V CAN transceivers against ESD (IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4), EFT (50 A), and lightning surges (2.0 A, 8/20 µs). It delivers 120 W peak power dissipation per line, 32 V reverse working voltage, and ≤100 nA leakage at 32 V - deployed in automotive CAN-FD and fault-tolerant networks.
For engineers reviewing the NUP3125WTT1G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include clamping voltage (≤55 V at 1 A), diode capacitance matching (≤2%), and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive-grade reliability in harsh 24 V environments.
Technical Context
The NUP3125WTT1G integrates two matched bidirectional TVS diodes in a single SC-70 package, each configured as a back-to-back Zener pair to provide symmetrical surge clamping on CAN_H and CAN_L lines. Its breakdown voltage is specified at 35.6–39 V (IT = 1 mA), with clamping voltage ≤55 V at 1 A and ≤60 V at 2 A under 8/20 µs waveform.
It operates across −55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature, supports lead-free reflow up to 260 °C, and meets IEC 61000-4-2 (±21 kV contact/air), -4-4 (50 A), and -4-5 (2.0 A) standards - enabling robust protection without signal integrity degradation in high-speed CAN systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Power Dissipation | 120 W per line (8/20 µs); sustains high-energy transients without failure in automotive CAN bus nodes |
| Reverse Working Voltage (VRWM) | 32 V; ensures no conduction during normal 24 V CAN bus operation with margin |
| Clamping Voltage (VC) | ≤55 V at 1 A (8/20 µs); limits voltage seen by transceiver to safe level during surge |
| Diode Capacitance Matching | ≤2% (at 0 V, 5 MHz); preserves differential signal integrity and timing skew between CAN_H/CAN_L |
| Leakage Current (IR) | ≤100 nA at 32 V; avoids loading or bias shift in low-power CAN receivers |
| Breakdown Voltage (VBR) | 35.6–39 V at 1 mA; defines precise turn-on threshold for symmetric bidirectional clamping |
| ESD Rating | ±21 kV (IEC 61000-4-2 contact/air); exceeds automotive EMC requirements for human-handling events |
Pinout & Package
Package: SC-70 (SOT-323), 3-pin surface-mount, Pb-free, RoHS-compliant, UL 94 V-0 rated.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | Cathode (Line 1) | Connects to CAN_H for bidirectional clamping; forms one half of back-to-back Zener pair |
| Pin 2 | Anode (Common) | Shared anode node tied to ground; enables dual-line protection with single reference |
| Pin 3 | Cathode (Line 2) | Connects to CAN_L; matched to Pin 1 for balanced differential surge suppression |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional Dual-Line Protection | Single SC-70 package protects both CAN_H and CAN_L with matched clamping characteristics |

| Pb-Free & Halogen-Free | Complies with RoHS, ELV, and JESD201A whisker resistance standards for long-life automotive use |
Applications
| Automotive CAN-FD Nodes | Fault-Tolerant CAN Bus |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: High-speed in-vehicle communication in ADAS ECUs requiring >5 Mbps data rates with ESD immunity. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional TVS array clamping transients on differential CAN_H/CAN_L lines before they reach the transceiver input stage.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-channel protector on SDS bus lines (typically 24 V DC) to maintain communication integrity during lightning-induced ground potential rise. Use Value: 120 W per-line rating and −55 °C to +150 °C operating range ensure reliability in uncontrolled ambient installations. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar CAN bus protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SM712.TCT | Higher VRWM (12 V / −7 V asymmetric), lower clamping (23 V / −12 V), larger SOT-23-6 package | Optimized for RS-485/RS-422; not AEC-Q101 qualified; lacks diode matching spec | Use only in non-automotive, lower-voltage differential buses where footprint and qualification are secondary |
| TPD2E001DRYR | Lower power rating (350 W total, not per line), 5.5 V VRWM, 0.5 pF typical capacitance | Targeted at USB/low-voltage I/O; unsuitable for 24 V CAN due to premature conduction and insufficient surge margin | Select only for sub-6 V digital interfaces; not a functional substitute for NUP3125WTT1G in CAN systems |
Compared with SM712.TCT and TPD2E001DRYR, the NUP3125WTT1G uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 32 V VRWM, matched dual-line clamping, and 120 W per-line surge capability - making it the only validated solution for 24 V automotive CAN-FD and fault-tolerant deployments.

FAQ
Is NUP3125WTT1G still in production or marked obsolete?
Yes, the NUP3125WTT1G is officially marked as discontinued per onsemi's October 2025 datasheet revision (Rev. 3). However, Aetrix Electronics maintains active inventory and offers lifecycle support, including last-time buy planning and cross-reference guidance for qualified replacements aligned with existing designs using the NUP3125WTT1G.
What is the maximum peak pulse current rating for NUP3125WTT1G?
The NUP3125WTT1G supports a maximum peak pulse current (IPP) of 2.0 A under 8/20 µs waveform conditions, as confirmed in its Electrical Characteristics table. This rating applies per line and is validated per IEC 61000-4-5 testing, ensuring reliable surge handling in automotive and industrial CAN environments where the NUP3125WTT1G is deployed.
Does NUP3125WTT1G support CAN-FD data rates up to 5 Mbps?
Yes, the NUP3125WTT1G supports CAN-FD operation up to 5 Mbps due to its low and tightly matched line-to-ground capacitance (4.5–6.0 pF at 5 V, 1 MHz) and ≤2% capacitance matching. These parameters minimize signal distortion and timing skew - critical for maintaining bit error rate integrity in high-speed CAN-FD physical layers where the NUP3125WTT1G is applied.
Can NUP3125WTT1G be used in 12 V automotive systems?
While the NUP3125WTT1G is optimized for 24 V CAN systems (with 32 V VRWM and 35.6–39 V VBR), it remains compatible with 12 V automotive CAN networks. Its higher standoff voltage provides additional margin against load dump and battery transients, though designers should verify that clamping voltage (≤55 V at 1 A) does not exceed downstream transceiver absolute maximum ratings when using the NUP3125WTT1G in 12 V contexts.
What is the meaning of "SZ" prefix in related part numbers like SZNUP3125WTT1G?
The "SZ" prefix in SZNUP3125WTT1G denotes automotive-grade qualification per AEC-Q101, PPAP capability, and enhanced process control for site-specific change management - distinct from the standard NUP3125WTT1G. Both share identical electrical specs and SC-70 packaging, but only SZ-prefixed variants carry full automotive certification documentation required for Tier 1 vehicle programs using the NUP3125WTT1G family.
