Description
AZ1065-06Q
Ultra Low Capacitance ESD Protection Array
For High Speed I/O Port
AZ1065-06Q is a design which includes surge
rated diode arrays to protect high speed data
interfaces. The AZ1065-06Q has been
specifically designed to protect sensitive
components which are connected to data and
transmission lines from over-voltage caused by
Electrostatic Discharging (ESD).
AZ1065-06Q is a unique design which includes
surge rated, ultra low capacitance steering
diodes and a unique design of clamping cell
which is an equivalent TVS diode in a single
package. During transient conditions, the
steering diodes direct the transient to either the
power supply line or to ground line. The internal
unique design of clamping cell prevents
over-voltage on the power line, protecting any
downstream components. Besides, there is a
back-drive protection design in AZ1065-06Q for
power-down mode operation.
AZ1065-06Q may be used to meet the ESD
immunity requirements of IEC 61000-4-2, Level 4
(±15kV air, ±8kV contact discharge).

The ESD protection scheme for system I/O
connector is shown in the Fig. 1. In Fig. 1, the
diodes D1 and D2 are general used to protect
data line from ESD stress pulse. The diode D3 is
a back-drive protection design, which blocks the
DC back-drive current when the potential of I/O
pin is greater than that of VDD pin. If the
power-rail ESD clamping circuit is not placed
between VDD and GND rails, the positive pulse

VCL of data line can be described as follow:
VCL = Fwd voltage drop of D1 + Breakdown
voltage drop of D3 + supply voltage of VDD
rail + L1 × d(I
Where L1 is the parasitic inductance of data line,
and L2 is the parasitic inductance of VDD rail.
An ESD current pulse can rise from zero to its
peak value in a very short time. As an example, a
level 4 contact discharge per the IEC61000-4-2
standard results in a current pulse that rises from

10nH of total parasitic inductance (L1 and L2
combined) will lead to over 300V increment in
VCL! Besides, the ESD pulse current which is
directed into the VDD rail may potentially
damage any components that are attached to
that rail. Moreover, it is common for the forward
voltage drop of discrete diodes to exceed the
damage threshold of the protected IC. This is due
to the relatively small junction area of typical
discrete components. Of course, the discrete
diode is also possible to be destroyed due to its
power dissipation capability is exceeded.
The AZ1065-06Q has an integrated
power-rail ESD clamped circuit between VDD
and GND rails. It can successfully overcome
previous disadvantages. During an ESD event,
the positive ESD pulse current (I

clamped circuit to GND rail (ESD current path2).
The clamping voltage VCL on the data line is
small and protected IC will not be damaged
because power-rail ESD clamped circuit offer a
low impedance path to discharge ESD pulse

Fig. 1 Application of positive ESD pulse between data line and GND rail.
The AZ1065-06Q is designed to protect six
data lines and one power rail from transient
over-voltage (such as ESD stress pulse). The
device connection of AZ1065-06Q is shown in
the Fig. 2. In Fig. 2, the six protected data lines
are connected to the ESD protection pins (pin1,
pin2, pin3, pin4, pin5, and pin6) of AZ1065-06Q.
The ground pin (pin7) of AZ1065-06Q is a
negative reference pin. This pin should be
directly connected to the GND rail of PCB
(Printed Circuit Board). To get minimum parasitic
inductance, the path length should keep as short
as possible. In addition, the power pin (pin 8) of
AZ1065-06Q is a positive reference pin. This pin
should directly connect to the VDD rail of PCB.,
then the VDD rail also can be protected by the
power-rail ESD clamped circuit (not shown) of
AZ1065-06Q.

AZ1065-06Q can provide protection for 6 I/O
signal lines simultaneously. If the number of I/O
signal lines is less than 6, the unused I/O pins
can be simply left as NC pins.
In some cases, systems are not allowed to
be reset or restart after the ESD stress directly
applying at the I/O-port connector. Under this
situation, in order to enhance the sustainable
ESD Level, a 0.1µF chip capacitor can be added
between the VDD and GND rails. The place of
this chip capacitor should be as close as possible
to the AZ1065-06Q.
In some cases, there isn’t power rail
presented on the PCB. Under this situation, the
power pin (pin 8) of AZ1065-06Q can be left as
floating. The protection will not be affected, only
the load capacitance of I/O pins will be slightly
increased. Fig. 3 shows the detail connection.

AZ1065-06Q is designed for protecting high
speed I/O ports from over-voltage caused by
Electrostatic Discharging (ESD). Thus, a lot of
kinds of high speed I/O ports can be the
applications of AZ1065-06Q, especially, the
USB3.0 port.
USB3.0 Protection for Super Speed
Differential signals
USB3.0 is expected to transmit and receive
above 5Gb/s data, which needs differential
signaling. For differential signaling, keep the
differential impedance at constant is the most
importance.
ESD protection devices have an inherent

junction capacitance. Usually, this added
capacitance on an USB3.0 port will cause the
impedance of the differential pair to drop to
interfere with the signaling. The AZ1065-06Q
presents only
differential signal while being rated to handle 8kV
ESD contact/air discharges as outlined in IEC
61000-4-2 and providing a low clamping voltage
to protect the downstream devices.
Therefore, AZ1065-06Q is the most suitable
ESD protector for USB3.0 I/O port and other high
speed, above 5Gb/s, I/O ports in any electronic
product. Fig.4 shows the PCB layout example for
USB3.0 I/O port. Fig. 5 shows the 5GHz Eye
Diagram when the AZ1065-06Q is used. No
degradation is observed.
