4.2 ESD and Transients

ESD strike and Transient pulse suppression are also important for the LIN bus. In any application, ESD strikes and transient pulses are present, but specifically in automotive environments, because there are so many ECUs in close proximity of each other. It is especially important for the systems to be immune to any destruction or interruption in function, due to these high-voltage phenomena. The capacitor on the bus helps with ESD strikes by slowing down the pulse edge, but this is not enough to stop it from driving current into the device and potentially disrupting communication. Specially-made ESD protection and TVS diodes are designed to help with these conditions. LIN transceivers are tested to verify they can withstand these strikes. Typical passing level values of these tests are ±6 kV for ESD direct contact, and ±100 V for transient pulses.
