Product details
Overview
TSM24CADBZR from Texas Instruments is a bidirectional ±24V low-capacitance TVS diode in SOT-23 (DBZ) package, designed for IEC 61000-4-5 surge protection on automotive signal lines. It delivers 30A peak pulse current handling, clamps at 40V under 24A 8/20µs surge, and features 12pF typical line capacitance and ≤75nA leakage - enabling robust EMC compliance for CAN/LIN bus interfaces in EV charging systems.
For engineers reviewing the TSM24CADBZR datasheet, TSM24CADBZR pinout, TSM24CADBZR application, or TSM24CADBZR equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±24V working voltage, 40V clamping at 24A, bidirectional polarity support, 12pF capacitance for high-speed signal integrity, and SOT-23 footprint compatibility with automated optical inspection (AOI) and space-constrained EV communication modules.
Technical Context
The TSM24CADBZR implements a snapback-triggered bidirectional TVS structure optimized for fast transient suppression on differential or single-ended signal lines. Its breakdown voltage is specified at 25.5V (10mA), with reverse stand-off voltage of ±24V and clamping voltage tightly controlled at 40V under 24A 8/20µs surge - meeting IEC 61000-4-5 Level 4 (1kV/42Ω) requirements for industrial and automotive networks.
It integrates dual ESD protection per IEC 61000-4-2 (±30kV contact/air), operates from –40°C to +125°C, and uses a thermally efficient SOT-23 (DBZ) package with RθJA = 203.8°C/W. The NC pin (Pin 3) must remain unconnected to ensure proper surge response and low-leakage performance.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Working Voltage | ±24V - supports signal protection on 12V automotive systems with margin against transients |
| Clamping Voltage | 40V at 24A (8/20µs) - limits downstream IC stress during IEC 61000-4-5 surges |
| Peak Pulse Current | 30A (8/20µs) - withstands high-energy lightning-induced transients per IEC 61000-4-5 |
| Line Capacitance | 12pF (typical at 1MHz) - preserves signal integrity on CAN/LIN buses up to 1Mbps |
| Leakage Current | ≤75nA at ±24V - minimizes power loss and avoids false triggering in low-current sensor interfaces |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar TVS diode applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SMAJ24A | Unidirectional, SMA package (4.5mm × 2.7mm), 400W PPPM, 17.1V VRWM | Requires dual devices for bidirectional protection; larger footprint limits routing density in compact EV modules | Select when cost sensitivity outweighs board space and bidirectional capability |
| TPD2E001DRYR | 2-channel unidirectional, 0.65mm × 0.65mm DSBGA, 12pF, but only 3A IPP and 12V VRWM | Insufficient for 24V systems or IEC 61000-4-5 surges; limited to low-energy ESD-only use cases | Choose only for low-voltage digital I/O protection where surge immunity is not required |
Compared with SMAJ24A and TPD2E001DRYR, the TSM24CADBZR uniquely combines ±24V bidirectional operation, 30A surge rating, and SOT-23 size - making it the only option that satisfies both CHAdeMO/GB/T surge immunity and CAN/LIN signal integrity constraints in a single device.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the TSM24CADBZR?
The TSM24CADBZR is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C ambient temperature. This range aligns with under-hood and powertrain environments in HEV/EV systems. Thermal metrics including RθJA = 203.8°C/W and RθJB = 39.4°C/W are provided in the datasheet to support board-level thermal design. The TSM24CADBZR maintains its 40V clamping voltage and ≤75nA leakage across this full range.
Can the TSM24CADBZR be used for protecting CAN FD interfaces running at 2 Mbps?
Yes, the TSM24CADBZR is suitable for CAN FD up to 2 Mbps due to its 12pF typical line capacitance and minimal impact on signal edge rates. Measured capacitance remains stable below 12.5pF across 0–24V bias, and its low dynamic resistance ensures clean clamping without ringing. However, layout best practices - such as symmetric placement near connectors and minimized trace length - must be followed to preserve signal integrity at higher data rates. The TSM24CADBZR has been validated in CAN FD reference designs by Texas Instruments.
Is Pin 3 of the TSM24CADBZR required to be grounded or left floating?
Pin 3 of the TSM24CADBZR must be left floating (no-connect) - it is explicitly designated as NC in the datasheet and internal construction. Connecting Pin 3 to ground or any other node degrades leakage current, increases capacitance, and compromises clamping performance. The TSM24CADBZR's electrical specifications - including 75nA max leakage and 40V clamping - are guaranteed only when Pin 3 remains unconnected and unstubbed on the PCB.
How does the TSM24CADBZR compare to the automotive-grade TSM24CA-Q1?
The TSM24CADBZR is the standard industrial-grade version, while TSM24CA-Q1 is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications with enhanced reliability testing (e.g., HTOL, TC, UHAST). Both share identical electrical specs - ±24V VRWM, 40V clamping at 24A, 12pF capacitance - and same SOT-23 (DBZ) package. The TSM24CADBZR is appropriate for non-safety-critical EV charging infrastructure; TSM24CA-Q1 is required for ASIL-B/C powertrain modules where qualification evidence is mandatory. The TSM24CADBZR part marking is "35P8".
Does the TSM24CADBZR require external series impedance for optimal surge protection?
No, the TSM24CADBZR is designed for direct parallel connection between protected signal line and ground - no external series resistor or inductor is needed. Its snapback trigger mechanism and low dynamic resistance provide immediate clamping without timing delays. Adding series impedance would degrade ESD response time and increase voltage overshoot. Layout guidelines recommend placing the TSM24CADBZR within 5mm of the connector with short, wide traces to ground pour - a practice confirmed effective in TI's SLVSH75A evaluation reports for the TSM24CADBZR.
