- Desktop computers
- Notebooks
- Workstations
- Servers
DESCRIPTION
On the implementation of computer systems,
theradiatedand conducted EMI should bekept
within the required levels as stated by the FCC
regulations. In addition to the requirements of
EMC compatibility, the computing devices are
required to tolerate ESD events and remain
operational without user intervention.
TheKBMFimplementsa low pass filter to limit EMI
levels and provide ESD protection which exceeds
IEC 61000-4-2 level 4 standard. The device also
implementsthepull up resistors neededtobias the
data and clock lines. The package is the
SOT23-6L which is ideal for situations where
board space is at a premium.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
EMI FILTERING
TheKBMFxxSC6ensurea filtering protection against ElectroMagnetic and RadioFrequency Interferences
thanks to its low-pass filter structure. This filter is characterized by the following parameters :
- cut-off frequency
- Insertion loss
- high frequency rejection

ESD PROTECTION
The KBMFxxSC6 is particularly optimized to perform ESD protection. ESD protection is based on the use
of device which clamps at :
VouputVR I
BRd PP
=+.
This protection function is splitted in 2 stages. As shown in figure A3, the ESD strikes are clamped by the
first stage S1 and then its remaining overvoltage is applied to the second stage through the resistor R.
Such a configuration makes the output voltage very low at the Voutput level.

To have a good approximation of the remaining voltages at both Vinput and Voutput stages, we give the
typical dynamical resistance value Rd. By taking into account these following hypothesis : Rt>Rd, Rg>Rd
and Rload>Rd, it gives these formulas:

The results of the calculation done for V
=8kV, Rg=330Ω (IEC 61000-4-2 standard), Vbr=7V
PP
(typ.) and Rd = 1ohm (typ.) give:
Vinput = 31.2 V
Voutput = 7.8 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 few
tenths of volts during few ns at the input side. This parasitic effect is not present at the output side due the
low current involved after the resistance R
.
S
The measurements done here after show very clearly (Fig. A5) the high efficiency of the ESD protection :
- no influence of the parasitic inductances on output stage
- Voutput clamping voltage very close to Vbr (positive strike) and -Vf (negative strike)

Please note that the KBMFxxSC6 is not only acting for positiveESDsurgesbutalsofornegativeones.For
these kind of disturbances it clamps close to ground voltage as shown in Fig. A5b.
LATCH-UP PHENOMENA
The early ageing and destruction of IC’s is often due to latch-up phenomena which is mainly induced by
dV/dt. Thanks to its structure, the KBMFxxSC6 provides a high immunity to latch-up phenomena by
smoothing very fast edges.

Thecrosstalkphenomena is duetothe coupling between2 lines. Thecouplingfactor ( β

orβ21)increases

when the gap across lines decreases, this is the reason why we provide crosstalk measurements for
monolithic device to guarantee negligeable crosstalk between the lines. In the example above the expected signal on load R
partofthe V
is α2VG2, in fact the real voltage at this point has got an extra value β21VG1. This
L2
nomenon 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 A9 shows the measurement circuit used to quantify the crosstalk effect in a classical digital application.
Figure A10 shows that in such a condition signal from 0 to 5V and rise time of few ns, the impact on the
otherlineisless than 50mV peak topeak.(Below the logic high thresholdvoltage).Themeasurementsperformed with falling edges gives the results within the same range.
