ESD PROTECTION DESIGN GUIDE: TVS DIODE ARRAYS
Introduction:
Designers of today’s electronic devices have demanded more
functionality with greater flexibility and higher levels of user
interaction. These circumstances have helped in driving the
development of nanometer chipsets along with a multitude of
user interfaces or ports. The confluence of these two has made
electronic devices more susceptible to ESD and required the need
for a more robust solution.
ESD Standards:
MIL-STD-883, Method 3015
Historically, analog and digital designers have been required to
have ESD protection “on-chip” to protect the IC during
manufacturing. The most commonly used ESD standard in the
manufacturing environment is the MIL-STD-883, Method 3015
and it’s also referred to as the Human Body Model (HBM). This
model discharges a 100pF capacitor through a 1500Ω resistor into
the device under test. The table below points out the four test
levels as defined in the standard.
HBM Level
Contact Discharge (kV)
Peak Current (A)
1
±0.5
0.33
2
±1
0.67
3
±2
1.33
4
±4
2.67
Most all manufacturers require that their equipment pass Level 4,
or ±8kV, as a minimum, however, some are looking for increased
reliability and require that their devices pass a much higher level
like ±15kV or ±30kV.
Conclusions:
The system level ESD test defined by the IEC produces a
substantial increase in peak current compared to the military
standard. If an IC is rated for 0.5kV per the MIL-STD and the
equipment manufacturer tests this same IC at 8kV per the IEC
specification, the chip will see nearly a 100 fold increase in peak
current (i.e. 0.33A vs. 30A)!
Ultimately, hardware or board designers must add supplementary
ESD devices to protect these sensitive chipsets from the high
level ESD threats seen in the field.
Solutions:
Littelfuse TVS Diode Arrays (SPATM Family) are an ideal choice for
suppressing ESD as their speed and clamping levels are essential
to protect today’s integrated circuits unlike the previous MLV,
MOV, and polymer technologies. The SPATM portfolio offers a
wide range of devices to suit the majority of application needs
available in the market today, and this guide will steer the
designer toward the appropriate ESD device for the particular
application they’re trying to protect.
Some of the applications discussed in this guide are:
The maximum level required for a typical IC had been ±2kV up
until 2007, but today that level has been drastically reduced to
±0.5kV. Obviously, this has helped chip designers save valuable
silicon area for more functionality, but in turn, it has made the IC
much more susceptible to damage from ESD.

● Analog Video
● HDMI
● SIM Sockets
● DisplayPort
● RS-232
● DVI
● RS-485
● 10/100/1000 Ethernet
● CAN Bus
IEC61000-4-2
● Esata
● Audio (Speaker/Microphone)
Conversely, equipment manufacturers have traditionally used an
ESD standard defined by the IEC (International Electrotechnical
Commission) for system or application level testing. This model
uses a 150pF capacitor which is discharged through a 330Ω
resistor. The table below displays the four test levels as defined
in the standard.

Application Specific Device Selection
USB1.1
Considerations:
● Each port operates at either 1.5Mbps or 12Mbps (low and full speed respectively)
• Parasitic capacitance should be taken into account although these relatively slow speeds can tolerate tens of picofarads
● Requires 2 channels of data line protection per port (i.e. D±)
• A 4 channel device can be useful if protecting a USB stack of 2 ports to make the ESD footprint as small as possible
• VBUS can be protected separately with a single channel device in an 0402 or 0201 form factor (0402 shown)

Application Specific Device Selection
USB2.0
Considerations:
● Each port can operate up to 480Mbps
• The high data rate requires a low capacitance device to preserve signal integrity
● Requires 2 channels of data line protection per port (i.e. D±) which can be done via array or discretely
• A 4 channel device such as the SP3002-04 can be useful if protecting a USB stack of 2 ports to make the ESD footprint as small as possible
• VBUS can be protected by connecting it to the VCC pin on the diode array or by using a separate single channel device like the SP1003

HDMI
Considerations:
● Each port has 3 differential pairs of data (i.e. D0±, D1±, D2±) plus a clock (CLK±)
• For HDMI 1.1-1.2 the throughput is a total of 4.95Gbps (1.65Gbps per lane)
• For HDMI 1.3-1.4 the throughput is a total of 10.2Gbps (3.4Gbps per lane)
● To maintain the differential impedance per the HDMI Compliance Test Specification (and consequently signal integrity) a very low
capacitance device must be used
● To maintain the differential impedance the designer should avoid using 90º angles and vias
• This can be accomplished by the use of an ESD device that offers a “straight-through” routing scheme
● Requires 12 channels of protection : 8 TMDS data pairs, SDA, SCL, CEC, and HPD

10/100/1000 Ethernet, Intra-building Lightning Immunity (GR-1089)
Considerations:
● 10/100/1000 relates to the data rate in Mbps (i.e. 10Mbps, 100Mbps, and 1000Mbps)
• For 10 Base-T, data is transmitted over 2 UTP (unshielded twisted pairs) using a 10MHz clock
• For 100 Base-TX, data is transmitted over 2 UTP using a 125MHz clock
• For 1000 Base-T data is transmitted over 4 UTP using a 125MHz clock
• For these data rates the parasitic capacitance needs to be taken into account to preserve signal integrity
● The 4 data lines below (Tx± and Rx±) are being protected against intra-building (i.e. 100A, tP=2/10µs) lightning transients by a two-stage
protection scheme
● 1000Mbps Ethernet (or 1GbE) will require 8 channels of protection for the 4 differential pair so the below scheme should be replicated for the

• For 10 Base-T, data is transmitted over 2 UTP (unshielded twisted pairs) using a 10MHz clock

● The 4 data lines below are being protected against inter-building (i.e. 500A, tP=2/10µs) lightning transients by a two-stage protection scheme.
The 4 channel, SP4061 or SP4062 should be selected based on the operating voltage of the PHY.
● The standoff voltage of the SEP Series device will be dictated by the use of PoE. If PoE is present the SEP0640 should be used; otherwise,
the SEP0080 is ok for non-PoE applications. Note: Higher voltage options are available for atypical PoE voltages.
● 1000Mbps Ethernet (or 1GbE) will require 8 channels of protection for the 4 differential pair so the below scheme should be replicated for the

10/100/1000 Ethernet, Tertiary Only Lightning Immunity (General)
Considerations:
● 10/100/1000 relates to the data rate in Mbps (i.e. 10Mbps, 100Mbps, and 1000Mbps)
• For 10 Base-T, data is transmitted over 2 UTP (unshielded twisted pairs) using a 10MHz clock
• For 100 Base-TX, data is transmitted over 2 UTP using a 125MHz clock
• For 1000 Base-T data is transmitted over 4 UTP using a 125MHz clock
• For these data rates the parasitic capacitance needs to be taken into account to preserve signal integrity
● Some designers choose to use a robust transformer in their design to act as the first line of protection against an incoming surge event.
This is usually done to minimize the parasitic capacitance on the data line and to save on the cost of the primary protector
● Using such a technique will require a robust PHY side protection device and one such option is the SPLV2.8-4 shown below. It should be
noted that this device will only provide differential protection between the data pairs.
● If longitudinal and differential protection are required, the SP3050-04HTG (with 2 I/O’s tied per line) or SP4060/SP4061/SP4062 can be
considered as alternatives
● Protection for 100Mbps Ethernet (or Fast Ethernet) is shown below. For 1000Mbps (or 1GbE) interfaces two, SPLV2.8-4BTG are required

10/100/1000 Ethernet (ESD only)
Considerations:
● Some Ethernet ports only need be protected for ESD and not for lightning induced transients
• These are sometimes referred to as “2M” ports or 2 Meter ports that have very short CAT5 cable installations
● Parasitic capacitance should be taken into account especially for 1GbE
● The 4 data lines below (Tx± and Rx±) are being protected against ESD by a low capacitance SP3002 which is suitable for all
Ethernet data rates
• In fact, any low capacitance SP30xx device is suitable for any “ESD only” Ethernet application
● 1000Mbps Ethernet (or 1GbE) will require 8 channels of protection for the 4 differential pair so the below scheme can be replicated or the 8
channel SP3003-08ATG can be used.

Considerations:
● 1394a (FireWire 400 or S400) was the original (1st generation) implementation
• Allowed for two connectors, powered (6 pin) and unpowered (4 pin)
• Data rates up to 400Mbps using 2 differential pair
● 1394b (FireWire 800 or S800) was the 2nd generation
• Required a new 9 pin connector but was backwards compatible to S400
• Data rates up to 800Mbps using 2 differential pair
● 1394b also had provisions for 1600Mbps and 3200Mbps (or S1600 and S3200)
• Uses same 9 pin connector as S800
● S800, S1600, and S3200 require very low capacitance devices for the high speed data rates
• Protection of 4 data lines is needed (i.e. TPB± and TPA±) and can be done with an array or with discrete low capacitance devices

LVDS (Low Voltage Differential Signaling)
Considerations:
● LVDS is a low noise, low-voltage signal scheme that uses a small current (typically 3.5mA) to generate a voltage drop across a 100Ω resistor
to convey information or data
• Data rates can vary per application but the ANSI/TIA/EIA-644-A standard recommends a maximum of 655Mbps
● The medium/high speed bus requires a low capacitance device in 1-6pF range (typically)
• LVDS schemes will vary in terms of the total number of channels used
• Protection of 8 data lines is shown below (i.e. CLK± and Ax±)

Audio (Speaker/Microphone)
Considerations:
● Audio ports typically have signals that swing above and below GND (i.e. ±2.5V)
• If no DC bias is applied, a bidirectional protection device should be used as these devices will not clip the analog signal
• Protection of 2 data lines is shown below (i.e. Left and Right) with an array and with discrete 0201s
● Some audio ports will bias the data bus so that the signal never swings below GND (i.e. 0-5V)
• If a bias is applied, a unidirectional OR bidirectional protection device could be used as neither device would clip the analog signal
• The SP1001-02XTG is a good option in this case (not shown for Left and Right but is listed below)

• Most are DC switches that operate at less than 5V, and for most applications capacitance will not be a concern
● The number of ports will vary with the particular application, but as an example, 4 data lines are shown below (i.e.Px)
● For space constrained applications the SP1003 or SP1005 may be considered as they are 0402 and 0201 footprints, respectively

SIM Socket
Considerations:
● The SIM (Subscriber Identification Module) card has 3 data lines that are low-speed and low-voltage
• Given the low speed of the signals, the capacitance will not be a concern
● The low-voltage signal lines are best protected by a device which has a low standoff voltage or VRWM
● Protection of the 3 data lines is shown below (i.e. CLK, DATA, and RESET)

RS-232
Considerations:
● There are numerous implementations of RS-232
• Most involve 6 wires (as shown below) though some may only include 2, 3, or 5 wires
• The maximum data rate is 20kbps
• Typically bus voltages are bipolar and can swing as high as ±24V though most installations are limited to ±12V or even lower
• For ±12V systems the SP72x Series is recommended and shown below
● Some implementations are a unipolar (i.e. 0-3.3V or 0-5V) or use bus voltages generally below 6V
• In this event the SP1001 Series can be used for ESD protection or the SP03 Series could be used if lightning is the primary threat
● Every application should be evaluated thoroughly before using the recommended devices below

RS-485
Considerations:
● There are numerous implementations and applications of RS-485
• Most applications involve two wires (i.e. A and B) while a few are four wire (i.e. full duplex)
• Depending on cable length, data rates can vary from 100kbps-10Mbps
• Bus voltages can be unipolar (i.e. 0-6V) or bipolar (i.e. ±3V) and every application should be evaluated thoroughly before using the
recommended devices below
● For a unipolar bus with a voltage ≤ 6V (MAX):
• The SP1001 Series is shown for ESD protection only
• The SP03 Series is shown for lightning/surge protection
● For differential protection between A and B, the GND connection can be removed from the schematics below
● For a bipolar bus with a maximum voltage swing of ±3V:
• The SP1002 or SP1004 Series can be used ESD protection only
• The SP03 Series (x2) can still be used for lightning/surge protection with one I/O tied to GND

CAN Bus
Considerations:
● There are numerous implementations and applications of a CAN bus
• Most applications involve two wires (i.e. CANH and CANL)
• Depending on cable length, data rates can vary from 10kbps-1Mbps
• Most applications do not exceed 0-5V to transmit a Low/High signal, however, every application should be evaluated thoroughly before
using the recommended devices below
● For the described application of unipolar bus with voltages between 0 and 5V:
• The SP1001 Series is shown for ESD protection only
• The SP03 Series is shown for lightning/surge protection
● For differential protection between CANH and CANL, the GND connection can be removed from the schematics below

Application Specific Device Selection
LCD and Camera Interfaces (Mobile)
Considerations:
● LCD and camera interfaces in mobile devices are vulnerable to EMI from the cellular band
• Frequencies between 800-3000MHz should be attenuated to prevent distortion on the display
● The pixel clocks vary depending upon the display size but the frequency will typically fall between 5-65MHz
• This corresponds to data rates between 10-60Mbps and with these speeds line capacitances need to be considered
• In the majority of applications line capacitances of 20-40pF will not cause signal integrity issues
● The protection schemes below for data lines Dx are only examples and will vary with the particular application
