Product details
Overview
NUP3125WTT3G from onsemi is a dual-line bidirectional TVS diode array designed to protect CAN transceivers in 24 V automotive and industrial networks. It delivers 120 W peak power dissipation per line (8/20 µs), clamps at ≤55 V @ 2 A, and features matched diode capacitance (≤2% mismatch) with <100 nA reverse leakage at 32 V. It is deployed in high-speed and fault-tolerant CAN bus interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the NUP3125WTT3G datasheet, pinout, applications, or equivalent options, key selection criteria include IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 ESD immunity (±21 kV contact/air), low 4.5–6.0 pF line-to-GND capacitance at 5 V bias, and AEC-Q101 qualification for automotive use.
Technical Context
The NUP3125WTT3G integrates two identical bidirectional Zener TVS diodes in a single SC-70 (SOT-323) package, configured as a common-anode dual-channel array. Each channel provides symmetrical clamping for CAN_H and CAN_L lines, with breakdown voltage specified at 35.6–39 V and clamping voltage ≤60 V at 2 A peak pulse current.
It meets IEC 61000-4-4 (50 A EFT) and IEC 61000-4-5 (2.0 A lightning surge), operates across −55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature, and maintains ≤2% capacitance matching between lines - critical for preserving CAN signal integrity and minimizing skew in differential signaling.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Peak Power Dissipation | 120 W per line (8/20 µs waveform); sustains transient energy without degradation in CAN bus protection. |
| Clamping Voltage | ≤55 V @ 1 A, ≤60 V @ 2 A; limits transceiver stress during ESD/EFT events to safe levels. |
| Breakdown Voltage | 35.6–39 V @ 1 mA; ensures reliable conduction onset above 24 V system rail while avoiding false triggering. |
| Line-to-GND Capacitance | 4.5–6.0 pF @ 5 V, 1 MHz; minimizes signal distortion and timing skew on high-speed CAN (up to 5 Mbps). |
| Capacitance Matching | ≤2% difference between CAN_H and CAN_L paths; preserves differential mode integrity and common-mode rejection. |
| ESD Immunity | ±21 kV contact & air (IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4); exceeds automotive OEM requirements for connector-level ESD robustness. |
| Operating Temperature | −55 °C to +150 °C; supports under-hood and industrial control environments without derating loss. |

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 clamping voltage (≤130 V @ 1 A), larger SOT-23-6 package, asymmetric unidirectional design. | Targeted at RS-485/RS-422; not optimized for CAN differential impedance or capacitance matching. | Use only if higher voltage tolerance is needed and board space allows larger footprint. |
| TPD2E001DRYR | Lower power rating (360 W total, not per line), 5.5 pF typical capacitance, but lacks IEC 61000-4-5 compliance. | Designed for USB/low-speed digital I/O; not AEC-Q101 qualified or validated for 24 V CAN bus surge profiles. | Suitable for non-automotive embedded CAN nodes where ESD-only protection suffices and lightning surge is absent. |
Compared with SM712.TCT and TPD2E001DRYR, the NUP3125WTT3G uniquely combines per-line 120 W surge handling, ≤2% capacitance matching, AEC-Q101 qualification, and IEC 61000-4-5 compliance - making it the only option qualified for full-spectrum CAN bus protection in automotive and industrial 24 V systems.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the NUP3125WTT3G in a CAN system?
The NUP3125WTT3G serves as a dual-line bidirectional TVS diode array that protects CAN transceivers from ESD, EFT, and lightning surges. It clamps transient voltages on both CAN_H and CAN_L lines to safe levels while maintaining signal integrity through matched capacitance and low leakage. Its design ensures the NUP3125WTT3G remains effective across automotive and industrial 24 V CAN networks without compromising data rate or reliability.
Is the NUP3125WTT3G qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the NUP3125WTT3G is AEC-Q101 qualified and PPAP capable, meeting stringent automotive reliability standards. It is explicitly rated for under-hood and chassis-mounted CAN nodes in passenger vehicles and trucks. The NUP3125WTT3G operates from −55 °C to +150 °C and passes thermal cycling, humidity testing, and mechanical shock validation required by automotive OEMs.
What is the pin configuration and how should the NUP3125WTT3G be laid out on the PCB?
The NUP3125WTT3G uses a 3-pin SC-70 package with Pin 1 = CAN_H cathode, Pin 2 = common anode (ground), and Pin 3 = CAN_L cathode. For optimal performance, place the NUP3125WTT3G as close as possible to the CAN connector, use symmetric trace lengths to both cathodes, and tie Pin 2 directly to a low-inductance ground plane. Avoid vias in protection paths to preserve clamping speed.
Does the NUP3125WTT3G support CAN FD data rates up to 5 Mbps?
Yes, the NUP3125WTT3G supports CAN FD operation up to 5 Mbps due to its low and tightly matched line-to-GND capacitance (4.5–6.0 pF at 5 V bias) and ≤2% capacitance mismatch. These parameters minimize signal rise-time degradation and differential skew - verified in onsemi's application circuits for high-speed CAN. The NUP3125WTT3G maintains signal fidelity without requiring additional equalization or termination adjustments.
How does the NUP3125WTT3G compare to standard single-line TVS diodes in CAN protection?
Unlike single-line TVS diodes, the NUP3125WTT3G integrates matched dual channels in one SC-70 package, ensuring identical clamping behavior and capacitance on CAN_H and CAN_L. This eliminates inter-channel timing skew and simplifies layout. Standard discrete diodes risk mismatched response, leading to common-mode noise and false error frames - issues the NUP3125WTT3G inherently avoids by design.
