TDK Corporation has announced the addition of two new varistors to its AVRH series for automotive applications. Both are characterized by the high electrostatic discharge (ESD) withstanding voltage demanded to ensure the safe operation of safety-critical automotive functions that comprise advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).

Both of the two new varistors in TDK’s AVRH series are compliant with the AEC-Q200 automotive standard and fulfill 25 kV voltage resistance requirement under IEC 61000-4-2 standard in the electrostatic discharge test. They operate within the temperature range of -55 °C to +150 °C. They not only meet anti-ESD requirements, they also have minimal footprints, useful as automotive OEMs attempt to miniaturize.

Mass production of both the AVRH10C220YT201MA8 and the AVRH16A2C270KT200NA8 is scheduled to begin in March 2024.

Varistors are fundamental circuit elements for handling severe voltage irregularities. In automotive applications, they protect delicate ECUs, and are instrumental in conforming to automotive safety standards such as AEC-Q200 and IEC 61000-4-2.

The AVRH10C220YT201MA8 is designed to support electronics on a LIN bus. It has a maximum continuous voltage of 16 V and a capacitance of 200 pF. The 1005 size (1.0 mm (L) x 0.5 mm (W) x 0.5 mm (H)) is 75% smaller than the existing model. The smaller size allows customer devices to be smaller therefore reducing the consumption of materials. This product also uses TDK's proprietary coating technology to enhance durability. Small as it is, it achieves the high reliability needed to meet the automotive quality standard.

AVRH16A2C270KT200NA8 is designed to support electronics on a CAN bus. It has a 2-in-1 array structure, in which the functions of two varistors are integrated into a single element. Another characteristic is that TDK's proprietary design technology minimizes the capacitance difference between the channels. It is designed at the 1608 size (1.6 mm (L) x 0.8 mm (W) x 0.6 mm (H)).
