PRODUCTION DATA.
Transient voltage suppressors are the preferred protection components for CAN bus applications due to their low capacitance, fast response times and high peak power dissipation limits. The low bus capacitance allows these devices to be used at many, if not all, nodes on the network without having to reduce the data rate. The quick response times in the order of a few picoseconds enable these devices to clamp the energy of very fast transients like ESD and EFT. Lastly, the high peak power ratings enable these devices to handle high energy surge pulses without being damaged.
