STMicroelectronics Integrates Common-Mode Filter and ESD Suppression in New Automotive-Protection Devices

Geneva, April 27, 2020 – STMicroelectronics’ ECMF04-4HSM10Y and ECMF04-4HSWM10Y automotive-qualified common-mode filters (CMF) for high-speed serial buses protect interface ICs by integrating transient-suppression diodes with low clamping voltage.

These are the first CMFs on the market with automotive-grade qualification and automotive surge compliance guaranteed. They are not only produced and qualified according to AEC-Q101 requirements but are also designed and tested against automotive surge specifics such as ISO10605.

The filters replace discrete common-mode chokes or LTCC (low-temperature cofired ceramic) devices that are typically larger and provide … Read More → "STMicroelectronics Integrates Common-Mode Filter and ESD Suppression in New Automotive-Protection Devices"
