Product details
Overview
PESD1IVN27U-QX from Nexperia is a bidirectional automotive-grade ESD protection diode in SOT323 (SC-70) package, designed to safeguard in-vehicle network bus lines against IEC 61000-4-2 ±30 kV and ISO 10605 ±30 kV ESD events, with 27 V reverse standoff voltage, 36 V clamping at 3 A, and 14 pF typical capacitance - deployed on CAN, LIN, FlexRay, and SENT interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the PESD1IVN27U-QX datasheet, PESD1IVN27U-QX pinout, PESD1IVN27U-QX application, or PESD1IVN27U-QX equivalent, this device is selected for low-capacitance, high-reliability transient suppression in space-constrained automotive signal lines where leakage (<1 nA), dynamic resistance (0.2 Ω), and AEC-Q101 qualification are critical.
Technical Context
This dual-cathode TVS diode implements a symmetrical bidirectional clamping architecture using two series-connected avalanche diodes, enabling robust ±30 kV ESD protection without polarity sensitivity. Its 14–17 pF capacitance at 0 V reverse bias ensures minimal signal integrity impact on high-speed IVN buses up to 1 Mbps.
The device operates within −55 °C to +150 °C ambient range and supports peak pulse currents up to 3 A (8/20 μs), with clamping voltage tightly bounded between 36 V (typ) and 45 V (max) - meeting ISO 7637-3 Pulse a (−150 V) and Pulse b (+100 V) surge immunity requirements for automotive electronics.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Standoff Voltage | 27 V - Maximum continuous operating voltage before conduction; sets upper limit for protected bus line DC bias (e.g., LIN at 12 V, CAN at 5 V). |
| Clamping Voltage | 36 V (typ) at 3 A - Peak voltage seen by downstream IC during 8/20 μs surge; ensures connected transceivers remain below absolute maximum ratings. |
| ESD Rating | ±30 kV per IEC 61000-4-2 contact discharge - Validates immunity to human-body-model ESD events common in vehicle assembly and service environments. |
| Diode Capacitance | 14 pF (typ) at 0 V - Low enough to avoid signal rise-time degradation on 1 Mbps LIN or 5 Mbps CAN FD lines. |
| Leakage Current | 1 nA (typ) at 27 V - Negligible power loss and bus loading in always-on automotive modules (e.g., body control units). |
| Dynamic Resistance | 0.2 Ω - Enables fast, low-impedance clamping response to sub-nanosecond ESD transients, minimizing energy dissipation in protected ICs. |
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Yes - Confirmed reliability for automotive under temperature cycling, humidity, and mechanical stress per discrete semiconductor stress test standard. |
Pinout & Package
SOT323 (SC-70) plastic surface-mount package: 3-terminal, 1.3 mm pitch, 2.0 × 1.25 × 0.95 mm body size, optimized for automated placement and reflow soldering on dense automotive PCBs.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Cathode (Diode 1) | Connects to protected signal line (e.g., LIN bus); forms one half of symmetrical clamping path to ground. |
| 2 | Not Connected | No internal connection; must be left floating - avoids unintended parasitic coupling or solder bridging in layout. |
| 3 | Cathode (Diode 2) | Connects to same protected signal line as Pin 1; completes bidirectional clamping structure with shared anode tied to ground. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Bidirectional Clamping | Symmetrical ±36 V clamping enables single-device protection of unidirectional or differential IVN signals without polarity concerns. |
| Ultra-Low Capacitance | 14 pF typical minimizes signal distortion on 1–5 Mbps automotive serial buses while maintaining ESD robustness. |
| AEC-Q101 Qualification | Validated for automotive under temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD stress - eliminates need for additional qualification effort in Tier-1 designs. |
| Low Leakage | 1 nA max at VRWM ensures no measurable current draw on always-active vehicle networks, preserving battery standby life. |
| Compact SOT323 Footprint | 2.0 × 1.25 mm area saves board space vs. SO-8 or SOT23 alternatives - critical for multi-channel ECU sensor nodes. |
Applications
| CAN Bus Protection | LIN Bus Protection |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Protecting high-speed Controller Area Network (CAN) transceivers in engine control units and ADAS domain controllers from ESD during vehicle assembly and field operation. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Transient voltage suppressor placed directly at CAN_H/CAN_L connector entry point, clamping surges before they reach the PHY layer. Use Value: Prevents latch-up or permanent damage to CAN transceivers rated for ≤40 V absolute maximum, leveraging 36 V clamping and 0.2 Ω dynamic resistance. |
Use Scenario: Safeguarding low-cost Local Interconnect Network (LIN) slave nodes - such as door modules and seat controllers - from ESD induced via wiring harnesses. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Bidirectional ESD clamp on LIN bus line, referenced to chassis ground, with minimal capacitive loading to preserve 19.2 kbps timing margins. Use Value: Maintains signal integrity across 20+ meter harness runs while meeting ISO 10605 ±30 kV requirements without adding series impedance. |
| FlexRay Bus Protection | SENT Sensor Interface Protection |
|
Use Scenario: Shielding FlexRay communication channels in powertrain and chassis ECUs from electrostatic discharge during manufacturing handling and roadside diagnostics. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Low-capacitance TVS array element protecting differential FlexRay A/B lines, mounted adjacent to connector with short trace routing. Use Value: 14 pF capacitance avoids skew between differential pairs at 10 Mbps data rates, while 27 V VRWM accommodates FlexRay's 2.5–5.5 V common-mode range. |
Use Scenario: Securing Single Edge Nibble Transmission (SENT) sensor interfaces - e.g., pressure and position sensors in brake systems - from ESD-induced bit errors or reset events. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Point-of-entry ESD suppressor on SENT signal line, grounded to local sensor module ground plane to minimize loop inductance. Use Value: Sub-1 nA leakage prevents false triggering of SENT's 5.5 V logic threshold; 36 V clamping protects microcontroller GPIOs rated for 6 V max. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor SZ1.5SMC27AQ | Unidirectional, higher 27 V VBR, 43 V clamping at 3 A, 1000 W peak power, DO-214AB package (larger, 4.5 × 3.5 mm) | Requires separate devices per signal polarity; unsuitable for bidirectional IVN buses like LIN without external circuitry | Select only for high-energy surge-only scenarios (e.g., ISO 7637-2) where ESD is secondary and board space is not constrained. |
| Vishay VE15A270L | Bidirectional, 27 V VRWM, 45 V clamping at 3 A, 15 pF capacitance, SOT-23 package (2.9 × 1.3 mm) | Higher clamping voltage increases risk to 40 V-rated transceivers; larger footprint reduces routing density in compact ECUs | Acceptable for cost-sensitive non-safety LIN nodes where 45 V clamping margin is acceptable and SOT-23 placement is feasible. |
Compared with SZ1.5SMC27AQ and VE15A270L, PESD1IVN27U-QX delivers tighter clamping (36 V vs. ≥43 V), lower capacitance (14 pF vs. ≥15 pF), and smaller footprint (2.0 × 1.25 mm vs. ≥2.9 × 1.3 mm), making it optimal for space- and performance-critical automotive IVN protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for PESD1IVN27U-QX?
The absolute maximum junction temperature is 150 °C, validated per IEC 60134 limiting values. This allows operation in under-hood environments up to 125 °C ambient when derated per thermal resistance curves in the datasheet, with no degradation in ESD performance.
Can PESD1IVN27U-QX protect both CAN_H and CAN_L simultaneously?
No - PESD1IVN27U-QX is a single-line protector. For full CAN differential pair protection, two devices are required: one placed between CAN_H and ground, another between CAN_L and ground, with both sharing the same ground reference to maintain common-mode rejection.
Is Pin 2 required to be connected to ground or left floating?
Pin 2 is internally not connected (n.c.) and must remain unconnected in the PCB layout. Soldering or routing to ground introduces parasitic capacitance and may compromise ESD performance; the datasheet explicitly requires it to be left floating.
How does the 0.2 Ω dynamic resistance impact system-level ESD robustness?
A 0.2 Ω dynamic resistance enables faster voltage collapse during ESD events, reducing the time-integrated energy (I²t) delivered to downstream ICs. This directly lowers failure probability in transceivers with limited surge withstand capability, especially under repeated ±8 kV contact discharges.
