Description
The USB specification requires USB downstream
ports to be terminated with pull-down resistors
from the D+ and D- lines to ground. On the
implementation of USB 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 termination and
EMC compatibility, the computing devices are
required to be tested for ESD susceptibility.
The USBDFxxW5 provides the recommended line
termination while implementing a low pass filter to
limit EMI levels and providing ESD protection
which exceeds IEC 61000-4-2 level 4 standard.
The device is packaged in a SOT323-5L, which is
a very small (50% smaller than the standard
SOT23).
Complies with the following standards
IEC 61000-4-2, level 4 ±15 kV (air discharge)
±8 kV (contact discharge)
MIL STD 883C, Method 3015-6
Class 3 C = 100 pF R = 1500 W
3 positive strikes and 3 negative strikes (F = 1 Hz)
Current FCC regulations requires that class B computing devices meet specified maximum
levels for both radiated and conducted EMI.
●Radiated EMI covers the frequency range from 30 MHz to 1 GHz.
●Conducted EMI covers the 450 kHz to 30 MHz range.
For the types of devices utilizing the USB the most difficult test to pass is usually the
radiated EMI test. For this reason the USBDF device aims to minimize radiated EMI.
The differential signal (D+ and D-) of the USB does not contribute significantly to radiated or
conducted EMI because the magnetic field of the two conductors exactly cancels each
other.

The inside of the PC environment is very noisy and designers must minimise noise coupling
from the different sources. D+ and D- must not be routed near high speed lines (clocks...).
Induced common mode noise can be minimised by running pairs of USB signals parallel to
each other and running grounded guard trace on each side of the signal pair from the USB
controller to the USBDF device.
If possible, locate the USBDF device physically near the USB connectors. Distance between
the USB controller and the USB connector must be minimized.
The 47 pF (C
) capacitors are used to divert high frequency energy to ground and for edge
t
control, and must be placed between the USB Controller and the series termination
resistors (R
). Both Ct and Rt should be placed as close to the mSB Controller as
t
practicable.
The USBDFxxW5 ensure a filtering protection against electroMagnetic and radio-frequency
Interference thanks to its low-pass filter structure. This filter is characterized by the following
parameters :
●cut-off frequency
●Insertion loss
●high frequency rejection
Figure 4. shows the attenuation curve for frequencies up to 3 GHz.
In addition to the requirements of termination and EMC compatibility, computing devices are
required to be tested for ESD susceptibility. This test is described in the IEC 61000-4-2 and
is already in place in Europe. This test requires that a device tolerates ESD events and
remain operational without user intervention.
The USBDFxxW5 is particularly optimized to perform ESD protection. ESD protection is
based on the use of device which clamps at :
V=V+ R.I
INPUTBRd pp
This protection function is split in 2 stages. As shown in Figure 5., the ESD strikes are
clamped by the first stage S1 and then the remaining overvoltage is applied to the second
stage through the resistor R. Such a configuration makes the output voltage very low at the
V
level.
