ESD protection for Automotive Infotainment USB 3.2, HDMI & LVDSTrEOS ESD protection
for Automotive Infotainment & SerDes

Nexperia‘s TrEOS Protection offers the ideal combination of low capacitance, low clamping
voltage and high ESD robustness for your design. Helping safeguard 10 Gbps data lines
systems in automotive applications against ESD and surge events while being AEC-Q101
qualified.
Automotive TrEOS Protection
Optimizing the three pillars of ESD protection:
1. Low capacitance for highest signal integrity down to 0.2 pF
2. Low clamping & trigger for enhanced system protection
down to 0.4 Ω (Rdyn)
3. H
 igh robustness against ESD up to 15 kV & Surge up to 7 Aat 8/20 μs
The ideal combination for every design

Nexperia TrEOS portfolio for high-speed data-lines
Our TrEOS family is composed of two subsets of devices which
can be employed together or separately:› Extremely high surge robustness devices are designed to beplaced between the connector and AC capacitor to protect
the decoupling capacitor and transceiver against possible peakpulses (up to 20 A).
› Extremely low peak voltages devices are designed to be placed
between the capacitor and the device, offering industry-leading
low-trigger voltage to maximize system-level protection 		(Vt1 as low as 3.5 V).
Combining a protection device from both subsets is suggested,to achieve ultimate ESD protection.

USB 3.2 ESD Protection for Automotive

The AEC-Q101-qualified automotive TrEOS ESD protection devices parts combine extremely low capacitance ensuringhigh signal integrity, extremely low clamping, and high robustness for modern automotive interfaces. Specific automotive
applications include infotainment, multimedia and ADAS systems featuring USB2.0, HDMI, LVDS, SerDes and SD-card
interfaces. With TrEOS technology, capacitance is kept down to 0.2 pF, clamping voltage is just 1.5 V and devices can withstandsurge and ESD pulses up to 7 A 8/20 µs. This industry-leading performance in all areas is delivered in the extensively-proven
SOT23 , DFN2510A-10 (SOT1176) and DFN2510D-10 (SOT1165D, SOT1176D) package. Nexperia will continue to offer TrEOS
ESD protection in more leadless packages, e.g. the 2-pin DFN1006BD-2 with side-wettable flanks.
