RClamp0542T RailClamp® 2-Line ESD Protection PROTECTION PRODUCTS - RailClamp® Description Features RailClamp TVS diode arrays are specifically designed to protect sensitive components which are connected to high-speed data and transmission lines from overvoltage caused by ESD (electrostatic discharge), CDE (Cable Discharge Events), and EFT (electrical fast transients). The RClamp®0542T has a typical capacitance of only 0.25pF between I/O pins. This allows it to be used on circuits operating in excess of 3GHz without signal attenuation. These devices are constructed using Semtech’s proprietary RailClamp process technology. This technology yields superior electrical characteristics including reduced leakage current (IR), a key requirement for high-speed interfaces. As such, the RClamp0542T has a maximum IR of only 50nA at 5 volts. The RClamp0542T is in a 6-pin SLP1610P4T package. It measures 1.6 x 1.0 x 0.4mm. The leads are spaced at a pitch of 0.5mm and are finished with lead-free NiPdAu. They are designed for easy PCB layout by allowing the traces to run straight through the device. They may be used to meet the ESD immunity requirements of IEC 61000-4-2. Each device is designed to protect two lines (one differential pair). The combination of small size, low capacitance, low leakage current, and high level of ESD protection makes them a flexible solution for protection of next generation interfaces including 10Gigabit Ethernet, HDMI 1.4, and USB 3.0.

Not only does the designer have to consider device characteristics such as clamping voltage and junction capacitance, but package layout as well. A carefully chosen package can mean the difference between a layout optimized for high speed signals and one that requires uneven trace routing, vias, and transmission line stubs. The RClamp0542T is optimized for use on high-speed lines. It utilizes a flow through design that allows traces to be routed uninterrupted through the device. This virtually eliminates impedance mismatches and stubs in the high speed signal path. It also allows traces to remain tightly coupled, reducing EMI interference. Data lines enter the device at pins 1 and 2 and exit the devices at pins 5 and 6. Traces are kept continuous and unbroken. Ground connection is made at pins 3 and 4. The location and size of the pins simplifies connection to the ground plane using multiple vias. Parasitic inductance is thus reduced enhancing ESD clamping performance. 1 2 3 6 5 4 Pin Identification 1-2 Input Lines 5-6 Output Lines (No Internal Connection) 3-4 Ground Figure 2 - Circuit Diagram Protection USB 3.0 Interfaces USB 3.0 expands the USB interface to include two superspeed differential pairs. These pairs are capable of transmitting data up to 5Gbps or almost 10 times faster than USB 2.0 high speed lines. In order to maintain backwards compatibility, the USB connector still retains the high speed D+ and D- differential pair and one VBus line. There are several advantages in using the RClamp0542T to protect the USB 3.0 superspeed lines. First, as mentioned above the flow through design of the package minimizes any discontinuity in the signal path. Also, using one package per signal pair eliminates cross talk between the transmit and receive pairs. Electrically, the low leakage current (5nA typical) will not affect the line termination impedance. Finally, it presents a typical loading capacitance of <0.5pF between I/O and ground. In some cases another device may be better suited for use on the high speed lines. For example, in mobile applications, RClamp1624T or RClamp3624T are better solutions for the high speed lines since they integrate high voltage protection for the VBus lines. Some USB 3.0 protection examples are shown in Figure 4 and 5. © 2010 Semtech Corp.

The amount of attenuation will vary by vendor and configuration of the magnetics. It is this transferred energy that must be clamped by the protection circuitry. When designing Ethernet protection, the entire system must be considered. An Ethernet port includes interface magnetics in the form of transformers and common mode chokes. Transformers and chokes can be discrete components, but integrated solutions that include the RJ-45 connector, resistors, capacitors, and protection are also available. In either case, the transformer will provide a high level of common mode isolation to external voltages, but no protection for metallic (line-to-line) surges. During a metallic transient event, current will flow into one line, through the transformer and back to the source. As the current flows, it charges the windings of the transformer on the line side. Once the surge is removed, the windings on the line side will stop charging and will transfer its stored energy to the IC side where the PHY is located. The magnitude and duration of the surge is attenuated by the inductance A typical protection scheme which utilizes the RClamp0542T is shown in Figure 5. One device is placed across each line pair and is located on the PHY side of the transformer as close to the magnetics as possible. This is done to minimize parasitic inductance and improve clamping performance. Data lines are routed through the device minimizing any discontinuity in the signal path. The ground pins of the RClamp0542T are left unconnected. When connected in this configuration, the RClamp0542T presents a typical capcitance of less than 0.3pF between each line pair.
