The CM1234 is ideal for protecting systems with high data and clock rates or for circuits requiring low capacitive loading and tightly controlled signal skews (with channel-to-channel matching at 2% max deviation). The device is particularly well-suited for protecting systems using high-speed ports such as DVI or HDMI, along with corresponding ports in removable storage, digital camcorders, DVD-RW drives and other applications where extremely low loading capacitance with ESD protection are required. The CM1234 also features easily routed "passthrough" pinouts in a RoHS compliant (lead-free),16lead TDFN, small footprint package.

April 2010 – Rev. 3 Publication Order Number: CM1234/D CM1234 Block Diagram *Standard test condition is IEC61000-4-2 level 4 test circuit with each pin subjected to ±8kV contact discharge for 1000 pulses. Discharges are timed at 1 second intervals and all 1000 strikes are completed in one continuous test run. The part is then subjected to standard production test to verify that all of the tested parameters are within spec after the 1000 strikes. PicoGuard XS ESD Protection Architecture Conceptually, an ESD protection device performs the following actions upon an ESD strike discharge into a protected ASIC (see Figure 1): 1. When an ESD potential is applied to the system under test (contact or air-discharge), Kirchoff’s Current Law (KCL) dictates that the Electrical Overstress (EOS) currents will immediately divide throughout the circuit, based on the dynamic impedance of each path. 2. Ideally, the classic shunt ESD clamp will switch within 1ns to a low-impedance path and return the majority of the EOS current to the chassis shield/reference ground. In actuality, if the ESD component's response time (tCLAMP) is slower than the ASIC it is protecting, or if the Dynamic Clamping Resistance (RDYN) is not significantly lower than the ASIC's I/O cell circuitry, then the ASIC will have to absorb a large amount of the EOS energy, and be more likely to fail. 3. Subsequent to the ESD/EOS event, both devices must immediately return to their original specifications, and be ready for an additional strike. Any deterioration in parasitics or clamping capability should be considered a failure, since it can then affect signal integrity or subsequent protection capability. (This is known as "multistrike" capability.) Rev. 3 | Page 2 of 13 | www.onsemi.com CM1234 In the CM1234 PicoGuard XS architecture, the signal line leading the connector to the ASIC routes through the CM1234 chip which provides 100Ω matched differential channel characteristic impedance that helps optimize 100Ω load impedance applications such as the HDMI high speed data lines. Note:When each of the channels are used individually for single-ended signal lines protection, the individual channel provides 50Ω characteristic impedance matching. The load impedance matching feature of the CM1234 helps to simplify system designer’s PCB layout considerations in impedance matching and also eliminates associated passive components. The route through the PicoGuard XS architecture enables the CM1234 to provide matched impedance for the signal path between the connector and the ASIC. Besides this function, this circuit arrangement also changes the way the parasitic inductance interacts with the ESD protection circuit and helps reduce the IRESIDUAL current to the ASIC. Figure 1.

CM1234 PicoGuard XS ESD Protection Model Rev. 3 | Page 4 of 13 | www.onsemi.com CM1234 CM1234 Inductor Elements In the CM1234 PicoGuard XS architecture, the inductor elements and ESD protection diodes interact differently compared to the standard ESD model. In the standard ESD protection device model, the inductive element presents high impedance against high slew rate strike voltage, i.e. during an ESD strike. The impedance increases the resistance of the conduction path leading to the ESD protection element. This limits the speed that the ESD pulse can discharge through the ESD protection element. In the PicoGuard XS architecture, the inductive elements are in series to the conduction path leading to the protected device. The elements actually help to limit the current and voltage striking the protected device. First the reactance of the inductive element, L1, on the connector side when an ESD strike occurs, acts in the opposite direction of the ESD striking current. This helps limit the peak striking voltage. Then the reactance of the inductive element, L2, on the ASIC side forces this limited ESD strike current to be shunted through the ESD protection diodes. At the same time, the voltage drop across both series element acts to lower the clamping voltage at the protected device terminal. Through this arrangement, the inductive elements also tune the impedance of the ESD protection element by cancelling the capacitive load presented by the ESD diodes to the signal line. This improves the signal integrity and makes the overall ESD protection device more transparent to the high bandwidth data signals passing through the channel. The innovative PicoGuard XS architecture turns the disadvantages of the parasitic inductive elements into useful components that help to limit the ESD current strike to the protected device and also improves the signal integrity of the system by balancing the capacitive loading effects of the ESD diodes. At the same time, this architecture provides an impedance matched signal path for 50Ω loading applications. Board designs can take advantage of precision internal component matching for improved signal integrity, which is not otherwise possible with discrete components at the system level. This helps to simplify the PCB layout considerations by the system designer and eliminates the associated passive components for load matching that is normally required with standard ESD protection circuits. Each ESD channel consists of a pair of diodes in series which steer the positive or negative ESD current pulse to either the Zener diode or to ground. This embedded Zener diode also serves to eliminate the need for a separate bypass capacitor to absorb positive ESD strikes to ground. The CM1234 protects against ESD pulses up to ±18kv contact per the IEC 61000-4-2 standard.
