In modern automotive electronics and industrial control systems, safeguarding high-speed data interfaces from electrostatic discharge (ESD) and transient voltage events is essential. Amazing Microelectronic introduces two advanced TVS (Transient Voltage Suppression) diodes designed for these challenges: AZ9400-01F and AZ9400-02S. 

Key Features of AZ9400 Series TVS Devices 

AZ9400-01F 

  • Ultra-small 0402 package for space-constrained PCB designs. 
  • Protects one channel of bidirectional signal line. 
  • Proprietary clamping cells with ultra-low capacitance, ensuring signal integrity for high-speed data lines. 
  • Ideal for automotive Ethernet and industrial communication systems. 

AZ9400-02S 

  • Popular SOT23-3L package, widely adopted in the automotive industry. 
  • Protects two channels of bidirectional lines. 
  • Proprietary clamping cells for robust transient voltage protection. 
  • Specifically designed for high-speed automotive Ethernet interfaces. 

Applications 

The AZ9400 series is engineered for demanding environments, including: 

  • Automotive network protection:  
  • OPEN Alliance IEEE 100BASE-T1 / 1000BASE-T1 Ethernet 
  • Automotive backbone communications 
  • Gateway and infotainment systems 
  • Industrial control systems 
  • High-speed data transmission lines 

Why Choose AZ9400 Series TVS Diodes? 

The AZ9400 series offers superior protection against: 

  • ESD events 
  • Lightning surges 
  • Cable discharge events 

During transient conditions, the proprietary clamping cells in these devices prevent over-voltage on data and control lines, safeguarding sensitive downstream components without compromising signal performance. 

AZ9400-02S: Dual-Channel Automotive Ethernet Protection 

The AZ9400-02S integrates two bi-directional ESD-rated clamping cells in a compact package, making it perfect for automotive Ethernet and backbone communication systems. 

AZ9400-01F: Ultra-Compact Single-Channel Solution 

For designs where space is at a premium, the AZ9400-01F provides reliable protection in an ultra-small footprint without sacrificing performance. 

Amazing Microelectronic continues to lead the way in ESD protection technology, delivering solutions that combine compact design, high reliability, and exceptional performance for automotive and industrial applications.
