FUNCTIONAL DIAGRAM

DESCRIPTION The ESDALC6V1W5 is a 4-bit wide monolithic suppressor which is designed to protect component 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. BENEFITS High ESD protection level : up to 25 kV. Capacitance: 12pF @ 0V Typ. High integration. Suitable for high density boards.

ESDALC6V1W5
TECHNICAL INFORMATION 1. ESD protection by ESDALC6V1W5 With the focus of lowering the operation levels, the problem of malfunction caused by the environment is critical. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a major cause of failure in electronic systems. As a transient voltage suppressor, ESDALC6V1W5 is an ideal choice for ESD protection by suppressing ESD events. It is capable of clamping the incoming transient to a low enough level such that any damage is prevented on the device protected by ESDALC6V1W5. ESDALC6V1W5 serves as a parallel protection elements, connected between the signal line and ground. As the transient rises above the operating voltage of the device, the ESDALC6V1W5 becomes a low impedance path diverting the transient current to ground. The clamping voltage is given by the following formula: VCL = VBR + Rd.IPP As shown in figure A1, the ESD strikes are clamped by the transient voltage suppressor.

ESDALC6V1W5

To have a good approximation of the remaining voltages at both Vi/o side, we provide the typical dynamical resistance value Rd. By taking into account the following hypothesis: Rg > Rd and Rload > Rd we have: V V (i / o ) = V BR + Rd × g Rg The results of the calculation done Vg = 8kV, Rg = 330 (IEC61000-4-2 standard), VBR = 6.1V (min) and Rd = 1.1 (typ.) give: V (i / o ) = 32,8Volts 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 a few tenths of volts during a few ns at the Vi/o side.

The measurements done here after show very clearly (Fig. A4) the high efficiency of the ESD protection: the clamping voltage V(i/o) becomes very close to +VBR (positive way, Fig. A4a) and -VBR (negative way, Fig. A4b).
