CIRCUIT BOARD LAYOUT RECOMMENDATIONS
Circuit board layout is critical for Electromagnetic Compatibility
(EMC) protection. The following guidelines are recommended:
✔ The protection device should be placed near the input
terminals or connectors, the device will divert the transient
current immediately before it can be coupled into the nearby
traces.
✔ The path length between the TVS device and the protected
line should be minimized.
✔ All conductive loops including power and ground loops
should be minimized.
✔ The transient current return path to ground should be kept
as short as possible to reduce parasitic inductance.
✔ Ground planes should be used whenever possible. For
multilayer PCBs, use ground vias.
The USB04 Series are TVS arrays designed to protect I/O or
data lines from the damaging effects of ESD and EFT. This
product series provides both unidirectional and bidirectional
protection, with a surge capability of 500 Watts PPP per line for
an 8/20µs waveform and ESD protection > 40kV.
UNIDIRECTIONAL
COMMON-MODE CONFIGURATION (Figure 1)
The two USB04 Series devices provide protection in a commonmode configuration as depicted in Figure 1.
Circuit connectivity is as follows:
✔ TVS Device 1: Line 1(D+) is connected to Pins 2 & 3.
✔ TVS Device 2: Line 2(D-) is connected to Pins 2 & 3.
✔ Both TVS Devices: Pins 1 & 4 connected to ground.
BIDIRECTIONAL
DIFFERENTIAL-MODE CONFIGURATION (Figure 2)
The USB04xxC Series provides protection in a differential-mode
configuration as depicted in Figure 2.
Circuit connectivity is as follows:
✔ Line 1(RX) is connected to Pins 1 & 4.
✔ Line 2(TX) is connected to Pins 2 & 3.
