±15kV ESD-Protected USB Transceivers with
External/Internal Pullup Resistors
10 ______________________________________________________________________________________
V
TRM
An internal linear regulator generates the V
TRM
voltage
(+3.3V, typ). V
TRM
derives power from V
BUS
(see the
Power-Supply Configurations section). V
TRM
powers
the internal portions of the USB circuitry and provides
the pullup voltage for the MAX13481E/MAX13482E.
Bypass V
TRM
to GND with a 1µF ceramic capacitor as
close to the device as possible. Do not use V
TRM
to pro-
vide power to any other external circuitry.
D+ and D-
D+ and D- serve as bidirectional bus connections and
are ESD-protected to ±15kV (Human Body Model). For
OE = low, D+ and D- serve as transmitter outputs. For
OE = high, D+ and D- serve as receiver inputs.
BD (MAX13482E/MAX13483E)
The push-pull bus detect (BD) output monitors V
BUS
and asserts high if V
BUS
is greater than V
TH_H
. BD
asserts low if V
BUS
is less than V
TH_L
, and the
MAX13482E/MAX13483E enter sharing mode (Table 2).
V
BUS
For most applications, V
BUS
connects to the V
BUS
terminal on the USB connector (see the Power-Supply
Configurations section). V
BUS
can also connect to an
external supply. Drive V
BUS
low to enable sharing
mode. Bypass V
BUS
to GND with a 1µF ceramic capac-
itor as close to the device as possible.
External Components
External Capacitors
The MAX13481E/MAX13482E/MAX13483E require
three external capacitors for proper operation. Bypass
V
L
to GND with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor. Bypass
V
BUS
to GND with a 1µF ceramic capacitor. Bypass
V
TRM
to GND with a 1µF (min) ceramic capacitor.
Install all capacitors as close to the device as possible.
External Resistor
Proper USB operation requires two external resistors,
each 27Ω ±1%. Install one resistor in series between D+
of the MAX13481E/MAX13482E/MAX13483E and D+ on
the USB connector. Install the other resistor in series
between D- of the MAX13481E/MAX13482E/MAX13483E
and D- on the USB connector (see the Typical Operating
Circuits). The MAX13483E requires an external 1.5kΩ
pullup resistor between V
TRM
and D+ for full-speed
operation. The MAX13481E requires an external 1.5kΩ
pullup resistor between VPU and D+ for full-speed operation. The MAX13482E does not require an external
pullup resistor but VPUR must be connected to D+ for
full-speed operation.
Data Transfer
Transmitting Data to the USB
To transmit data to the USB, drive OE low. The
MAX13481E/MAX13482E/MAX13483E transmit data to
the USB differentially on D+ and D-. VP and VM serve
as input signals to the differential driver and are also
used to assert a single-ended zero (SE0) driver (see
Table 3).
Receiving Data from the USB
To receive data from the USB, drive OE high and SUS
low. Differential data received by D+ and D- appears at
RCV. Single-ended receivers on D+ and D- drive VP
and VM, respectively.
RCV
RCV monitors D+ and D- when receiving data. RCV is a
logic 1 for D+ high and D- low. RCV is a logic 0 for D+
low and D- high. RCV retains its last valid state when
D+ and D- are both low (single-ended zero, or SE0).
ESD Protection
D+ and D- possess extra protection against static electricity to protect the devices up to ±15kV. The ESD
structures withstand high ESD in all operating modes:
normal operation, suspend mode, and powered down.
D+ and D- provide protection to the following limits:
•±15kV using the Human Body Model
•±8kV using the Contact Discharge method specified
in IEC 61000-4-2
• To protect V
BUS
from ±15kV ESD, a 1µF or greater
capacitor must be connected from V
BUS
to GND.
ESD Test Conditions
ESD performance depends on a variety of conditions.
Contact Maxim for a reliability report that documents
test setup, test methodology, and test results.
Human Body Model
Figure 6 shows the Human Body Model and Figure 7
shows the current waveform generated when discharged into a low impedance. This model consists of
a 100pF capacitor charged to the ESD voltage of interest, which then discharges into the test device through
a 1.5kΩ resistor.
IEC 61000-4-2
The IEC 61000-4-2 standard covers ESD testing and
performance of finished equipment. It does not specifically refer to integrated circuits. The major difference
between tests done using the Human Body Model and
IEC 61000-4-2 is a higher peak current in IEC 61000-42, due to lower series resistance. Hence, the ESD with-
