Littelfuse, Inc. has announced the launch of the TPSMB-L Series Automotive TVS Diodes, designed explicitly for Battery Management Systems (BMS) in 800 V electric vehicles (EVs). These innovative diodes feature an ultra-low clamping voltage (Vcl), providing protection for sensitive components such as Analog Front End (AFE) and Battery Management ICs (BMICs).
The TPSMB-L Series addresses the growing demand for reliable, high-performance components in the fast-expanding EV market. With a focus on safety and reliability, these diodes meet the rigorous requirements of ISO-26262, the global standard for functional safety in automotive systems, ensuring optimal performance in critical BMS applications.
Uses and benefits of the TPSMB-L Series Automotive TVS Diodes include:
- Ultra Low Clamping Voltage (Vcl): Ensures effective protection for AFEs and BMICs, safeguarding sensitive electronic components from voltage spikes and surges.
- Automotive Grade Reliability: AEC-Q101 qualified with PPAP Level 3 compliance, meeting the stringent standards of automotive applications.
- High Power Handling: 600 W peak pulse power capability in a compact SMB DO-214AA package.
- Wide Application Range: Designed for 14- to 20-cell BMS configurations, ideal for high-voltage EV battery systems.
- Fast Response Time: Protects against electrostatic discharge (ESD) and transient voltage surges.
- Electric Vehicles (EVs): Designed for 800 V battery systems in electric and hybrid vehicles.
- Battery Management Systems (BMS): Ensures safety and longevity of AFEs and BMICs in 14- to 20-cell designs.
- High-Voltage Automotive Systems: Suitable for advanced EV architectures requiring ISO-26262 compliance.
