Product details
Overview
VCAN36A2-HT5HG3-08 from Vishay Semiconductors is a bidirectional symmetrical (BiSy) dual-line ESD protection diode in DFN1110-3A package, rated for ±36 V reverse stand-off voltage, <0.05 μA leakage current at 36 V, and <6 pF capacitance at 5 V - designed specifically for CAN FD bus interface protection in automotive and industrial control systems.
For engineers reviewing the VCAN36A2-HT5HG3-08 datasheet, VCAN36A2-HT5HG3-08 pinout, VCAN36A2-HT5HG3-08 application, or VCAN36A2-HT5HG3-08 equivalent, key selection criteria include IEC 61000-4-2 ±20 kV contact/air discharge immunity, AEC-Q101 qualification, low clamping voltage (53–58 V at 1.6 A), and matched line-to-line capacitance (<0.12 pF difference).
Technical Context
This device implements a symmetrical dual-channel TVS architecture with identical clamping behavior on both protected lines (pins 1–3 and 2–3), enabling balanced transient suppression for differential CAN FD signals without polarity sensitivity. Its BiSy design eliminates need for orientation-aware layout and supports bidirectional data flow integrity under ESD stress.
Rated for junction temperatures from –55 °C to +150 °C and qualified per AEC-Q101, the VCAN36A2-HT5HG3-08 meets automotive-grade reliability requirements including MSL level 1 moisture sensitivity and peak reflow up to 260 °C. It delivers 92 W peak pulse power (8/20 μs) with clamping voltage tightly bounded between 53 V and 58 V at maximum 1.6 A surge.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Reverse Stand-off Voltage | 36 V - defines maximum continuous operating voltage before conduction; ensures no interference with CAN FD nominal ±2 V differential swing. |
| ESD Immunity (IEC 61000-4-2) | ±20 kV contact / ±20 kV air - guarantees robustness against human-body and system-level electrostatic events in vehicle assembly and field operation. |
| Clamping Voltage (IPPM = 1.6 A) | 53–58 V - limits transient overvoltage seen by downstream CAN transceiver, staying well below typical 70 V absolute max ratings. |
| Diode Capacitance (VR = 5 V) | 3.8–4.6 pF - minimizes signal distortion and timing skew on high-speed CAN FD (up to 5 Mbps) interfaces. |
| Capacitance Matching (CD13 vs CD23) | ≤0.12 pF - preserves differential signal integrity by ensuring near-identical loading on CANH and CANL lines. |
| Leakage Current (VRWM = 36 V) | <0.05 μA - prevents measurable DC loading on bus, critical for low-power wake-up and sleep-mode functionality. |
| Peak Pulse Power (8/20 μs) | 92 W - sustains single-event surges per IEC 61000-4-5 without degradation, supporting ISO 16750-2 load dump immunity staging. |
Pinout & Package
VCAN36A2-HT5HG3-08 is housed in a 3-terminal DFN1110-3A package (1.1 mm × 1.0 mm × 0.4 mm), with exposed thermal pad (pin 3) and side-wettable e3 tin-plated terminations for automated optical inspection (AOI) compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1 | CAN Line 1 Anode/Cathode | Bidirectional ESD path for first CAN signal line (e.g., CANH); symmetrically clamps positive/negative transients. |
| Pin 2 | CAN Line 2 Anode/Cathode | Bidirectional ESD path for second CAN signal line (e.g., CANL); electrically matched to Pin 1 for differential balance. |
| Pin 3 | Common Cathode/Thermal Pad | Shared low-inductance return path and primary heat sink; must be soldered to PCB ground plane for optimal clamping and thermal performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| AEC-Q101 Qualified | Validated for automotive use across –55 °C to +150 °C junction temperature range, including temperature cycling, HTRB, and ESD stress tests. |
| BiSy Symmetry | Identical electrical characteristics on both protected lines eliminate polarity dependency and simplify routing of differential CAN FD traces. |
| Low Capacitance Matching | ≤0.12 pF inter-line capacitance mismatch ensures <10 ps skew between CANH/CANL, preserving signal integrity at 5 Mbps. |
| e3 Tin Plating | RoHS-compliant Sn plating on side walls enables reliable solder joint formation and AOI-compatible visual inspection. |
| MSL Level 1 Rating | Unlimited floor life at ≤30 °C/60% RH - supports standard SMT assembly without dry pack or baking requirements. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-line CAN FD ESD protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| STUSB4710QTR | Higher VRWM (40 V), higher capacitance (8.5 pF @ 5 V), unidirectional configuration requiring external biasing. | Requires additional bias network for CAN FD symmetry; less suitable for space-constrained layouts. | Prefer when higher working voltage margin is needed and board area allows added passive components. |
| NUP4202MR6T1G | Lower ESD rating (±15 kV), higher clamping (65 V at 1 A), larger SOT-563 package (2.2 mm × 1.35 mm). | Larger footprint and reduced ESD margin limit suitability in next-gen compact automotive modules. | Acceptable for legacy CAN 2.0B designs where 5 Mbps speed and ±20 kV immunity are not required. |
Compared with STUSB4710QTR and NUP4202MR6T1G, VCAN36A2-HT5HG3-08 uniquely combines AEC-Q101 qualification, BiSy symmetry, sub-4.6 pF capacitance, and ±20 kV ESD immunity in the smallest DFN1110-3A footprint - making it the only option meeting full CAN FD interface protection requirements without layout or bias compromises.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for VCAN36A2-HT5HG3-08?
The VCAN36A2-HT5HG3-08 is rated for junction temperatures from –55 °C to +150 °C and qualified per AEC-Q101, making it suitable for under-hood automotive applications and high-temperature industrial environments. This wide range ensures reliable ESD clamping performance even during sustained thermal stress, and the device maintains its <0.05 μA leakage and <6 pF capacitance specs across the full range. VCAN36A2-HT5HG3-08 operates without derating up to +150 °C.
Does VCAN36A2-HT5HG3-08 require external biasing for CAN FD operation?
No, VCAN36A2-HT5HG3-08 does not require external biasing because it uses a bidirectional symmetrical (BiSy) architecture. Its matched diode pairs on pins 1–3 and 2–3 provide identical clamping in both polarities, enabling direct placement across differential CAN FD lines (e.g., CANH and CANL) without polarity concerns or added components. This simplifies layout and reduces bill-of-materials cost compared to unidirectional alternatives like VCAN36A2-HT5HG3-08.
How does the capacitance matching specification benefit CAN FD signal integrity?
The VCAN36A2-HT5HG3-08 guarantees ≤0.12 pF capacitance mismatch between its two protection paths (CD13 vs. CD23), which directly limits differential signal skew to <10 ps at 5 Mbps. This precision matching preserves eye diagram opening and jitter margins required for CAN FD's higher bit rates, preventing bit errors caused by unequal line loading. VCAN36A2-HT5HG3-08 achieves this while maintaining sub-4.6 pF total capacitance per line at 5 V reverse bias.
Is VCAN36A2-HT5HG3-08 compatible with lead-free reflow processes?
Yes, VCAN36A2-HT5HG3-08 features e3 tin-plated terminations and is qualified for peak reflow temperatures up to 260 °C per J-STD-020, fully compliant with lead-free soldering profiles. Its DFN1110-3A package has MSL level 1 rating, meaning it can be stored indefinitely at ≤30 °C/60% RH without baking. VCAN36A2-HT5HG3-08 supports standard 7" tape-and-reel (10 k/reel) SMT assembly with AOI capability due to side-wettable terminations.
What standards does VCAN36A2-HT5HG3-08 meet for automotive qualification?
VCAN36A2-HT5HG3-08 is AEC-Q101 qualified, covering stress tests including HTGB, HTRB, temperature cycling, mechanical shock, and ESD (HBM class H3B > 8 kV). It also meets IEC 61000-4-2 (±20 kV contact/air) and IEC 61000-4-5 (92 W, 8/20 μs) for system-level immunity. These certifications confirm suitability for safety-critical automotive domains such as ADAS, powertrain, and chassis control - all verified for VCAN36A2-HT5HG3-08 in its final packaged form.
