SN65HVDA195-Q1 Load Dump Test

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: SN65HVDA195-Q1

Hi,

SN65HVDA195-Q1 was damaged if applying the JASO A-1 load dump test(70V/200ms) to the VBAT terminal using the schematic which is mentioned on page 15 of SN65HVDA195-Q1 data sheet.
What kind of damage modes does SN65HVDA195-Q1 occur ?

Best regards,
Kato

  • Hi Kato,

    For signal pins, overvoltage conditions most often induce failures in the transient protection cells. This failure mode typically expresses itself as a short to ground at the stressed pin or increased leakage current into the pin. For power pins like VSUP, though, the failure modes can be less predictable. The power rail is shared by many internal components that are typically only rated up to the absolute maximum voltage of that power rail (or slightly beyond it for design margin), and any of those components can become damaged if they are stressed beyond their rating.

    In this case damage to VSUP seems to be the most likely issue, so I would recommend implementing some external protection (like a TVS diode) on that net in order to improve the system's immunity to JASO A-1 stresses.

    Please let me know if you have any questions.

  • Hi Max-san,

    Thank you for your explanation.
    I understood and will inform our customer of this information.
    Then, could you please give me your advice if there are any TVS diodes which you recommend in the TI esd protection diode ?

    Best regards,
    Kato

  • Hi Kato-san,

    I am not very familiar with the options from TI since I work primarily with our transceiver products, but you could check with our ESD/EMI experts in their forum here:
