The Vishay Semiconductor VETH100A1DD1 ESD has successfully passed IEEE 10BASE-T1 compliance testing. It confirms suitability for use in a one-pair Ethernet (OPEN) bus architecture.
The VETH100A1DD1 meets all three OPEN Alliance EMC Test Specifications for ESD Protection Devices. Which supports 100BASE-T1S , and 1000BASE-T1 applications. 10BASE-16 is an automotive data bus which is designed to connect eight nodes over a single twisted-pair cable with lengths of up to 25 meters. The standard nominal data rate is 10 Mbit/s using baseband transmission over one twisted pair in short-range operations. Ethernet connects 100BASE-T1, 1000BASE-T1 , and 10BASE-TS in a multidrop bus topology. It protects automotive Ethernet networks.
10BASE-T1S network includes an ESD protection device at each node; very low capacitance is critical to maintain signal integrity across the bus. The VETH100A1DD1 is specially designed to meet this requirement, offering a capacitance below 1 pF as described in the 10BASE-T1S test specification, making it well-suited for 10BASE-T1S applications while remaining compatible with higher-speed automotive Ethernet standards.
Vishay manufactures one of the world’s largest portfolios of semiconductors and electronic components that are essential to create innovative designs in automotive, industrial, computing, consumer, telecommunications, military, aerospace, and medical markets.
