TECHNICAL INFORMATION
ESD PROTECTION
The ESDA6V1-5W6 is particularly optimized to perform ESD protection. ESD protection is achieved by
clamping the unwanted overvoltage. The clamping voltage is given by the following formula :
VVRI

=+⋅
As shown in figure A1, the ESD strikes are clamped by the transient voltage suppressor.

Tohave agood approximationof theremaining voltagesat bothVi/o side,we providethe typicaldynamical
resistance value Rd. By taking into account the following hypothesis :
Rg > Rd and Rload > Rd
we have:

VinVR
brd
=+×
The results of the calculation done for Vg = 8 kV, Rg = 330 Ω (IEC 61000-4-2 standard), Vbr = 6.4 V (typ.)
and Rd = 0.61 Ω (typ.) give:
Vouput = 21.2 V
This confirms the very low remaining voltage across the device to be protected. It is also important to note
that in this approximation the parasitic inductance effect was not taken into account. This could be a few
tenths of volts during a few ns at the Vi/o side.

The measurements done here after show very clearly (Fig. A3) the high efficiency of the ESD protection:
theclamping voltageVout becomesvery closeto Vbr(positive way,Fig. A3a)and -Vf(negative way,Fig.
A3b).

b: Vi/o during negative surge
Onecan note thatthe ESDA6V1-5W6is notonly acting forpositive ESDsurges butalso for negative ones.
For these kind of disturbances it clamps close to ground voltage as shown in Fig. A3b.

The crosstalk phenomena are due to the coupling between 2 lines. The coupling factor ( β12or β21)
increases when the gap across lines decreases, particularly in silicon dice. In the example above the
expected signal on load R
Thispart ofthe V
signalrepresents theeffect ofthe crosstalkphenomenon ofthe line1 onthe line2. This
G1
phenomenon has to be taken into account when the drivers impose fast digital data or high frequency
analog signals in the disturbing line. The perturbed line will be more affected if it works with low voltage
signal or high load impedance (few kΩ).

Figure A7 shows the measurement circuit used to quantify the crosstalk effect in a classical digital
application.
Figure A8 shows that in such acondition, i.e signalfrom 0 to5V and risetime of afew ns, the impact on the
disturbed line isless than 50 mV peak to peak.No data disturbance was noted on the concerned line. The
measurements performed with falling edges give an impact within the same range.
