Automotive common-mode filter with integrated ESD protection

Enhance antenna desense and immunity

Ensure safe wireless communication in your car with AEC-Q101 grade common-mode filter

The ECMF2-40A100M6Y is an automotive-grade integrated common mode filter designed to effectively suppress EMI/RFI common mode noise on high-speed data lines including MIPI A-PHY, FPD-link III, GMSL, APIX, USB2.0, USB3.2, USB4, HDMI2.0, and HDMI2.1.

Engineered to replace traditional discrete common mode chokes or LTCC, the ECMF2-40A100M6Y (2-line configuration) and other products in the series (available in 4-line configurations) integrate robust ESD protection to comply with ISO 10605 standards, making them an ideal choice for enhancing signal integrity.
