MAIN APPLICATIONS
The ST1284-xxA8/T8 is a highly integrated termination forenhancedhigh speed parallel ports. The
integrated termination complies to the IEEE1284
Standard recommendations and government
EMC compatibility requirements. It is built around
two basic cells. The first one (Cell 1) provides line
termination, EMI filtering and ESD protection for
the Strobe and Datalines while the second one
(Cell 2) provides EMI filtering and ESD protection
for the Control and Status lines. In addition,
ST1284-xxA8 provides extra protection against
ESD. When tested according to IEC61000-4-2,
they withstand ±8kV contact discharges and
±15kV air-discharges, thereby providing to the
system the necessary robustness to meet up to
level 4of IEC61000-4-2, withoutthe need for additional ESD protection components. Cells 1 and 2
are described in more detail in figures 1 and 2.

FUNCTIONAL DIAGRAM
Thefunctional diagram here above presentsa IEEE1284-Aconnector pinoutand show how to connect
the ST1284-xxA8/T8in order to correctlyterminate and filter the17 signal lines. TheIEEE1284-A connector is the PC standard for the host connection.
Control and status lines (from 10 to 17) only require a pull-up resistor (Rp) and a filter capacitor (C).
The data lines (from 2 to 9) and the STROBE (pin 1) also require a termination series resistor (Rs)
in addition to the pull-up resistor and a filter capacitor. The Vcc is connected to pin 20 and the
ground to pin 22.
The ST1284-xxA8/T8 can be used with all 3 types of connectors defined in the IEEE1284 standard:
- IEEE1284-A is a 25DB connector which is the PC standard for the host connection.
- IEEE1284-B is a 36 pin, 0.085 inch centerline connector used on the peripheral device.
- IEEE1284-C is a new 36 pin, 0.050inch centerline connector which can beused for both host and peripherals.

Inaddition to therequirements of termination and EMCcompatibility, computing devices are requiredto be
tested for ESD susceptibility. This test is described in the IEC61000-4-2 and is already in place in Europe.
This test requires that a device tolerates ESD events and remain operational without user intervention.
The ST1284-xxA8/T8 is particularly optimized to perform ESD protection. ESD protection is based on the
use of device which clamps at :
Vouput V R I
BR d 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 voltage very low at the output.

To have a good approximation of the remaining voltages at both Vin and Vout 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:
Vinput

Theresults ofthe calculationdone forV

=8kV,Rg=330Ω (IEC61000-4-2standard), VBR=7V(typ.)
and Rd = 1Ω (typ.) give:
Vinput = 31.2 V
Voutput = 7.95 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.
The measurements done here after show very clearly (Fig. A5) the high efficiency of the ESD protection :
- no influence of the parasitic inductances on Vout stage
- Voutput clamping voltage very close to V

(positive strike) and -VF(negative strike)
