DESCRIPTION
On the implementation of computer systems, the
radiated and conducted EMI should be kept 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.
The KBMF implements a low pass filter to limit EMI
levels and provide ESD protection which exceeds
IEC 61000-4-2 level 4 standard. The device also
implements the pull up resistors needed to bias
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
1. EMI FILTERING
The KBMFxxSC6 ensure a 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

2. ESD PROTECTION
The KBMFxxSC6 is particularly optimized to perform ESD protection. ESD protection is based on the use
of device which clamps at:
V
= VBR + Rd.I
output
This protection function is splitted in 2 stages. As shown in figure 4, 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 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 (figure 6) the high efficiency of the ESD protection :
- no influence of the parasitic inductances on output stage
- V
