Multilayer varistors optimized for automotive Ethernet

September 17, 2019 By Lee Teschler

Multilayer varistors (AVRH10C221KT1R5YA8) for automotive Ethernet have a high ESD robustness for use in especially hostile environments. The new addition to the AVR series from TDK provides reliable ESD protection up to 25 kV (IEC61000-4-2). Moreover, thanks to the extremely precise multilayer technology and optimized manufacturing process, the new chip varistor features a low capacitance of 1.5 ±0.13 pF. With its IEC 1005 package (1.0×0.5×0.5 mm) the component occupies about 75% less volume than that of existing components. The new varistor features a maximum operating voltage of 70 V and an operating temperature range of -55 to 150°C, thus enabling a broad range of possible applications.

Automotive Ethernet is the communication infrastructure of choice for today’s vehicles since ECUs tdk ML Varistorsrequire a high speed, low latency communication in advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving. TDK’s newest multilayer varistor extends the portfolio of protection components for automotive Ethernet applications. With the AVR and CT series reliable ESD protection up to 25 kV is now available for both 100Base-T1 and 1000Base-T1 interfaces without impeding high speed data communication.

Moving forward, TDK will further increase the product lineup in terms of compactness, operating voltage, and capacitance to flexibly respond to the wide range of automotive device designs.
