ESDAxxL
Application Specific Discretes
A.S.D.
APPLICATIONS
Where transient overvoltage protection in ESD
sensitive equipment is required, such as :
- COMPUTERS
- PRINTERS
- COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS
It is particulary recommended for the RS232 I/O
port protection where the line interface withstands
only with 2kV ESD surges.

DESCRIPTION
The ESDAxxL is a dual monolithic voltage
suppressordesignedtoprotectcomponentswhich
are connected to data and transmission lines
against ESD.
It clamps the voltage just above the logic level
supply for positive transients, and to a diode drop
below ground for negative transients.
It can also work as bidirectionnal suppressor by
connecting only pin1 and 2.

CALCULATION OF THE CLAMPING VOLTAGE
USE OF THE DYNAMIC RESISTANCE
The ESDA family has been designed to clamp fast
spikes like ESD. Generally the PCB designers
need to calculate easily the clamping voltage V
CL
This is why we give the dynamic resistance in
addition to the classical parameters. The voltage
across the protection cell can be calculated with
the following formula:
=VBR+RdI
V
CL
PP
WhereIpp is thepeak current throughthe ESDA cell.
DYNAMIC RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT
The short duration of the ESD has led us to prefer
amore adapted test wave, as below defined, to the
classical 8/20µs and 10/1000µs surges.
I
Ipp
As the value of the dynamic resistance remains
stable for a surge duration lower than 20µs, the
.
2.5µs rectangular surge is well adapted. In
addition both rise and fall times are optimized to
avoid any parasitic phenomenon during the
measurement of Rd.
