EMI FILTER AND LINE TERMINATION
FOR USB DOWNSTREAM PORTS
APPLICATIONS
EMI Filter and line termination for USB downstream ports on:
- Desktop computer
- Notebooks
- Workstations
- USB Hubs
FEATURES
n Monolithic device with recommended line termination for USB downstream ports
n Integrated Rt series termination and Ct bypassing capacitors.
n Integrated ESD protection
n Small package size
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
the smallest available lead frame package (50%
smaller than the standard SOT23).

EMI FILTERING
Current FCC regulations requires that class B computing devices meet specified maximum levels for both
ratiated and conducted EMI.
- Radiated EMI covers the frequency range from 30MHz to 1GHz.
- Conducted EMI covers the 450kHz to 30MHz 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 is aiming 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 47pF (Ct) capacitors are used to bypass high frequency energy to ground and for edge control, and
must be placed between the USB Controller and the series termination resistors (Rt). Both Ct and Rt
should be placed as close to the USB Controller as practicable.
The USBDFxxW5 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
Fig. A3 shows the attenuation curve for frequencies up to 3GHz.

ESD PROTECTION
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 :
Vinput = VBR + Rd .IPP
This protection function is splitted in 2 stages. As shown in figure A4, 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 Vout level.

to be
protected
To have a good approximation of the remaining voltages at both Vin and Vout stages, we give the typical
dynamical resistance value Rd. By taking into account these following hypothesis : Rt>Rd, Rg>Rd and
Rload>Rd, it gives these formulas:
Rg .VBR + Rd .Vg
Vinput =
Rg
Rt.VBR + Rd .Vinput
Voutput =
Rt
The results of the calculation done for V PP=8kV, Rg=330Ω (IEC61000-4-2 standard), V BR=7V (typ.)
and Rd = 1Ω (typ.) give:
Vinput = 31.2 V
Voutput = 7.95 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 Vin side. This parasitic effect is not present at the Vout side due the low
current involved after the resistance R.
The measurements done here after show very clearly (Fig. A6) the high efficiency of the ESD protection :
- no influence of the parasitic inductances on Vout stage
- output clamping voltage very close to VBR (positive strike) and -VF (negative strike)

Please note that the USBDFxxW5 is not only acting for positive ESD surges but also for negative ones. For
these kinds of disturbances it clamps close to ground voltage as shown in Fig. A6b.
LATCH-UP PHENOMENA
The early ageing and destruction of IC’s is often due to latch-up phenomena which is mainly induced by
dV/dt. Thanks to its structure, the USBDFxxW5 provides a high immunity to latch-up phenomena by
smoothing very fast edges.

RECEIVERS
The crosstalk phenomena is due to the coupling between 2 lines. The coupling factor ( β12 or β21 ) increases
when the gap across lines decreases, this is the reason why we provide crosstalk measurements for
monolithic device to guarantee negligeable crosstalk between the lines. In the example above the expected signal on load RL2 is α2VG2, in fact the real voltage at this point has got an extra value β21VG1. This
part of the VG1 signal represents the effect of the crosstalk phenomenon of the line 1 on the line 2. This phenomenon has to be taken into account when the drivers impose fast digital data or high frequency analog
signals in the disturbing line. The perturbed line will be more affected if it works with low voltage signal or
high load impedance (few kΩ).

Figure A8 gives the measurement circuit for the analog crosstalk application. In figure A9, the curve shows
the effect of the D+ cell on the D- cell. In usual frequency range of analog signals (up to 100MHz) the effect
on disturbed line is less than -46dB.

Figure A10 shows the measurement circuit used to quantify the crosstalk effect in a classical digital application.
Figure A11 shows that in such a condition signal from 0 to 5V and rise time of few ns, the impact on the
other line is less than 100mV peak to peak (Below the logic high voltage threshold).The measurements
performed with falling edges give the same results.
