Product details
Overview
PESD2CAN24LT-Q from Nexperia is a dual-channel automotive-grade ESD protection diode in SOT23 package, designed to safeguard CAN FD bus lines against IEC 61000-4-2 (±30 kV), ISO 10605 (±30 kV), and IEC 61000-4-5 (9 A surge) transients. It features 24 V reverse standoff voltage, 29.5 V clamping at 1 A, 25 pF capacitance, and AEC-Q101 qualification for under-hood CAN interface protection.
For engineers reviewing the PESD2CAN24LT-Q datasheet, PESD2CAN24LT-Q pinout, PESD2CAN24LT-Q application, or PESD2CAN24LT-Q equivalent, this device delivers verified bidirectional transient suppression with matched capacitance, low dynamic resistance (0.14 Ω), and precise common-cathode topology for differential CANH/CANL line protection in production automotive ECUs.
Technical Context
This dual-diode array uses a common-cathode configuration (pins 1/K1, 2/K2, 3/CC) to provide symmetrical transient clamping on two independent signal lines relative to a shared reference. Its design targets CAN FD physical layer compliance where low capacitance (25 pF typ.) and tight capacitance matching (<0.5% ΔCd/Cd) preserve signal integrity up to 5 Mbps.
The device operates within ±24 V reverse standoff range and clamps to ≤33.5 V at 9 A surge (8/20 µs), with breakdown voltage specified between 25.5 V and 36 V at 10 mA. Reverse leakage remains ≤50 nA at 24 V, supporting low-power always-on bus monitoring without loading.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Standoff Voltage (VRWM) | 24 V - Maximum continuous operating voltage before conduction; sets safe margin above 12 V automotive supply and CAN common-mode range. |
| Clamping Voltage (VCL) | 29.5 V at 1 A - Peak voltage seen by protected CAN transceiver during ESD event; ensures downstream IC stays below absolute max ratings. |
| Surge Current (IPPM) | 9 A at 8/20 µs - Withstands ISO 7637-2 pulse 3a/3b (±220 V/±150 V) and IEC 61000-4-5 surges without degradation. |
| Diode Capacitance (Cd) | 25 pF at 1 MHz, 0 V - Minimizes signal distortion and timing skew on high-speed CAN FD buses; matched between channels (<0.5% difference). |
| ESD Rating | ±30 kV per IEC 61000-4-2 and ISO 10605 - Validated for direct contact discharge in assembly, service, and end-user environments. |
| Dynamic Resistance (Rdyn) | 0.14 Ω - Low impedance during transient conduction reduces clamping overshoot and improves energy dissipation efficiency. |
| AEC-Q101 Qualification | Qualified - Meets stress test requirements for temperature cycling, HTRB, UHAST, and ESD robustness required for automotive under-hood deployment. |
Pinout & Package
SOT23 plastic surface-mount package (2.9 mm × 1.3 mm × 1.0 mm body, 1.9 mm lead pitch); 3-terminal monolithic dual-diode structure with common cathode.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | K1 (Cathode of Diode 1) | Connects to CANH line; forms low-impedance path to common cathode during positive transients on CANH. |
| 2 | K2 (Cathode of Diode 2) | Connects to CANL line; provides symmetric clamping for negative transients on CANL relative to CC. |
| 3 | CC (Common Cathode) | Reference node tied to system ground or chassis; enables bidirectional clamping for both differential lines using single return path. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Common-cathode dual-diode architecture | Enables compact, balanced protection of differential CANH/CANL without separate ground paths-reducing PCB layout complexity and ground loop risk. |
| 25 pF matched capacitance | Ensures <0.5% inter-channel capacitance mismatch, preserving differential signal symmetry and minimizing jitter on CAN FD links up to 5 Mbps. |
| 29.5 V clamping at 1 A | Keeps peak transient voltage safely below typical CAN transceiver absolute maximum rating (36 V), preventing latch-up or damage. |
| 0.14 Ω dynamic resistance | Reduces clamping voltage overshoot during fast-rising ESD events (IEC 61000-4-2, tr < 1 ns), improving protection margin. |
| AEC-Q101 qualification | Validates reliability across -55 °C to +150 °C ambient, including temperature cycling, humidity testing, and mechanical shock for engine bay use. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-channel automotive CAN bus protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ON Semiconductor NUF2221MUTAG | Higher VRWM (26 V), higher VCL (36 V at 1 A), 30 pF capacitance, no AEC-Q101 documentation in public datasheet. | Less suitable for 12 V CAN systems requiring tight clamping margin; higher capacitance may limit >2 Mbps operation. | Select only if 26 V standoff is required and AEC-Q101 validation is not mandatory for the program. |
| Vishay SMA6J24A | Single-channel, unidirectional, 24 V standoff, 38.9 V clamping at 9 A, 150 pF capacitance, AEC-Q101 qualified. | Requires two devices plus external biasing for bidirectional CAN protection; excessive capacitance degrades high-speed signal integrity. | Not recommended for CAN FD; acceptable only for legacy 125 kbps CAN where layout space allows dual-device implementation. |
Compared with NUF2221MUTAG and SMA6J24A, PESD2CAN24LT-Q uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, 25 pF matched capacitance, 29.5 V low clamping, and integrated common-cathode dual-diode topology-making it the only drop-in solution for space-constrained, high-speed automotive CAN FD designs requiring production-grade reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature for continuous operation?
The PESD2CAN24LT-Q has a maximum junction temperature (Tj) rating of 150 °C, validated per AEC-Q101 stress testing. Continuous operation at this limit requires thermal design that maintains junction-to-ambient thermal resistance ≤40 K/W, typically achieved via copper pour under the SOT23 pad and minimal trace length to ground.
Can this device protect both CANH and CANL simultaneously during a common-mode surge?
Yes-the common-cathode (pin 3) configuration enables simultaneous clamping of both CANH (pin 1) and CANL (pin 2) to the same reference. During a common-mode surge, current flows through both diodes into the shared cathode node, limiting voltage rise across the differential pair while maintaining signal integrity.
Is the 25 pF capacitance measured differentially or line-to-ground?
The 25 pF value is measured line-to-ground: capacitance between pin 1 and pin 3 (K1–CC) and between pin 2 and pin 3 (K2–CC), each specified at 25 pF typical (1 MHz, 0 V bias). The datasheet confirms <0.5% matching between these two capacitances, critical for differential signal fidelity.
Does the device meet ISO 7637-3 requirements for coupled transient immunity?
No-PESD2CAN24LT-Q is characterized for ISO 7637-2 pulses (2a, 3a, 3b) and IEC 61000-4-5 surge, but ISO 7637-3 specifies capacitive coupling clamp tests not covered in its qualification scope. System-level ISO 7637-3 compliance requires additional filtering or common-mode chokes upstream of this device.
