The TSM24CA is a low-capacitance TVS diode and is part of TI's surge protection device family. The TSM24CA robustly shunts up to 30A of IEC 61000-4-5 (8μs to 20μs) fault current to protect systems from high power transients or lightning strikes. The device offers an answer to the common industrial signal line EMC requirement to survive up to 1kV IEC 61000-4-5 open circuit voltage coupled through a 42Ω impedance, clamping that surge at 40V (IPP = 24A). The TSM24CA also has a very low line capacitance of 12pF allowing protection of common automotive communication networks like CAN from surges in EV charging applications.
