Recommendations for ESD-Optimized Layout
Basic Recommendations
ESD tests with different TV chassis layouts have shown that in order to avoid ESD sensitivity, the following two layout recommendations should be used in all l ayout designs with the MSP:
1. ESD caused reset (see Fig. 2: )
As the reset input pin of the MSP is of high impedance, voltage spikes caused by ESD pulses can gener-
ate an MSP hardware reset with muting of all analog outputs. This can be avoided by connecting one
blocking capacitor of approximately 100 nF as closely as possibl e between the RESETQ pin and the MSP
ground (e.g. DVSS pin).
2. ESD sensitivity due to ground voltage differences (see Fig. 2: )
ESD pulses can cause high current spikes in the ground line. This may result in large voltage differences
at the MSP ground pins if they are not connected with low impedance. These large voltage differences
can lead to an MSP malfunction. Therefore, all MSP ground pins (DVSS, AVSS, AHVSS, VREF1/2, and
ASGX) should be connected t ogether close to the MSP. Alternatively, they should be connected to a common MSP ground plane.
The following recommendations have also shown good results:
1. Ground connection MSP to power supply (see Fig. 2: )
The MSP ground should have a close and low-impedance connection to the power supply ground.
2. Ground connection between TV connector and power supply (see Fig. 1: )
As ESD pulses are normally applied by the TV-user only to the connectors for antenna, chinch, scart, and
headphone, each of the corresponding connector-grounds should have a direct and separated lowimpedance connection to the power supply ground. This enables possible voltage differences between
the MSP and other sections to be minimized. For maintaining good audio signal-to-noise performance,
the area encircled by the ground connection of the MSP, the ground connections of the connectors, and
the audio signal lines to the connectors should be kept to a minimum.

3. Layout example
Figures 1 and 2 show exemplary layouts with the MSP 34xx (in 64-pin PSDIP package) and the above
recommendations in detail.
4. ESD test results
Typical ESD test results with layouts designed according to the above-mentioned recommendations:
– ESD pulses up to 10 kV: maximum 1 of 10 tests shows any eff ect to the audio functions
– ESD pulses from 10 kV to 15 kV: No destroyed MSP was detected . If any ef f ect t o audio was detect ed,
it could be automatically corrected by the controller software.
(tested with: ESD pulse generator (Schaffner) using the Human Body Model (1.5 kOhm,100 pF))
