The AQ24CANFD is designed to protect automotive Controller Area Network (CAN) lines from damage due to electrostatic discharge (ESD), electrical fast transient (EFT), and other overvoltage transients. The AQ24CANFD can absorb repetitive ESD strikes above the maximum level specified in the IEC 61000-4-2 international standard without performance degradation and can safely withstand 3A surge (8/20 waveshape as defined in IEC 61000-4-5 2nd edition) at a very low clamping voltages.
ESD, IEC 61000-4-2, ±21kV contact, ±21kV air
EFT, IEC 61000-4-4, 50A (5/50ns)
Lightning, 3A (8/20 as defined in IEC 61000-4-5 2nd edition)
