AND8082/D ESD Protection for Dual USB 2.0 Port Using the Low Capacitance TVS Diode Array, NUP4201DR2 Device http://onsemi.com Prepared by: Alejandro Lara Applications Engineer APPLICATION NOTE ABSTRACT • IEC 61000–4–4. This International Standard relates to Even though ESD protection is not yet required by the USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 specifications, it is extremely important and necessary that all USB ports have protection against ESD conditions because USB components are subject to electrostatic discharge conditions since USB is a hot plugging and unplugging system. Our modern society has rapidly come to fully depend on electronics. And modern computers are based increasingly on low power logic chips, all with ESD sensitivity due to MOS dielectric breakdowns and bipolar reverse junction current limits. The USB ICs are not an exception since the majority of them are designed and manufactured based in CMOS processes which make them extremely sensitive to damage from ESD conditions. Because USB is a hot insertion and removal system, it is extremely vulnerable to receive ESD conditions possibly generated by the users or by air discharges. Users can induce ESD conditions while plugging or unplugging any USB peripherals. Air discharges can happen a few inches away from the conducting surface. Static electricity can cause damage to the USB interface, USB ICs malfunction, and worst of all, ghost data bits. Product damage or product malfunction results in a “Hard failure” or destroyed component. It is easy to isolate and replace the failed component and put the system back in service, however, if a “soft failure” occurs (CMOS component degraded), the system anomaly is not detected in retesting, and hours are wasted in troubleshooting because the system continues to produce irregular data bits, so this is why, ESD protection in USB components is now a MUST. Through time, industrial standards have been developed to standardize the ESD compliance of semiconductor devices, some of the most common standards are described below: • IEC 61000–4–2. This International Standard relates to the immunity requirements and test methods for electrical and electronic equipment subjected to static electricity discharges, from operators directly, and to adjacent objects. Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC, 2002 March, 2002 – Rev. 0 the immunity requirements and test methods for electrical and electronic equipment subjected to EFT conditions. • IEC 61000–4–5. This International Standard relates to the immunity requirements and test methods for electrical and electronic equipment subjected to Lighting conditions (surge 8 x 20 sec). ESD protection for USB components not only implicates compliance with the ESD industrial standards previously listed, but it also implicates the usage of very sophisticated semiconductor devices capable to operate under conditions of high speed data transmission and the high technology of the USB controller, so conventional methods to protect serial ports would be obsolete and non–efficient for USB applications. Having said the implications of the ESD protection for USB components, it is possible to define what are the key characteristics that semiconductor devices intended for USB applications must have: • Low capacitance (< 5.0 pf) to minimize the signal attenuation at high speed data rate (480 Mbs, USB 2.0). • Fast time operation response (nanosecond) to protect the USB components against the fast rise time of the ESD pulses. • Low leakage current to minimize the power consumption under normal operation conditions. • Robustness to drive and absorb repetitive ESD conditions without damage. • Integrated and reduced package. The purpose of the present application note is to describe and explain in detail the usage and future of the new Low Capacitance TVS Diode Array (NUP4201DR2 device) to be used for ESD protection for either USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 components. 1 Publication Order Number: AND8082/D AND8082/D NUP4201DR2 ON Semiconductor Device ON Semiconductor has developed a unique Low Capacitance TVS Diode Array (NUP4201DR2 device) designed to protect sensitive electronics such as communications systems, computers, and computer peripherals against damage due to ESD conditions or transient voltage conditions. Because of its very low capacitance array configuration, it can be used in high speed I/O data lines such as USB 2.0 components. The integrated design of the NUP4201DR2 offers surge rated, low capacitance steering diodes and a TVS diode integrated in a single package (SO–8). If a transient condition occurs, the steering diodes will drive the transient condition either to the positive polarity of the power supply or to ground. The TVS device protects the power line against overvoltage conditions to avoid damage in any downstream components. In addition to its low capacitance characteristics, the NUP4201DR2 from ON Semiconductor complies with the most common industrial standards for ESD Protection: IEC61000–4–2, IEC61000–4–4 and IEC61000–4–5. Figure 1 shows the NUP4201DR2 device’s schematic and the equivalent circuit of this device is shown in Figure 2.

Equivalent Circuit of the NUP4201DR2 Device DC Parameters As previously mentioned, one of the most important characteristics that any device intended to be used for ESD protection in USB components is to have low leakage current to minimize the power consumption of the system. The NUP4201DR2 devices actually offer very low values of leakage current which make them fully useful for USB applications. Table 1 shows some measurements of the dc parameters made in some NUP4201DR2 devices, the dc parameters of the NUP4201DR2 are the reverse breakdown voltage (VBR) and the reverse leakage current (IR). http://onsemi.com 2 AND8082/D Table 1.

Since the NUP4201DR2 is a low capacitance TVS diode array, it can be used either in USB 2.0 or USB 1.1 components. The following paragraphs describe the capacitance measurement between I/O lines and between I/O lines and ground. IR1, VZ1 measured from pin 1 to pin 5/8 IR2, VZ2 measured from pin 4 to pin 5/8 IR3, VZ3 measured from pin 6 to pin 5/8 IR4, VZ4 measured from pin 7 to pin 5/8 The previous data only shows typical values of the NUP4201DR2 device’s DC characteristics, users should refer to the data sheet specifications for designing purposes. Based in our data sheet specifications for VBR and IR, it’s possible to observe that all devices showed results within spec. Capacitance Measurement Between I/O Lines This measurement needs to be made between two I/O pins, so different combinations can be made between different I/O lines pairs, however, for explanation purposes, it will be described in the measurement between pin 1 and pin 7 in Figures 3 and 4. Capacitance Between I/O Lines and Between I/O Lines and Ground As previously mentioned, “low capacitance (< 5.0 pf)” is one of the most important characteristics that any device intended to be used in USB applications must have in order to minimize the signal attenuation at high speed data rate (480 Mbs, USB 2.0). This characteristic is critical, Conditions: Frequency generator: 20 mVrms @ 1.0 MHZ DC Bias: 0 V http://onsemi.com 3 AND8082/D Pin 1 Pin 7 Pin 1 Figure 3. Measurement Between Pins 1 and 7 Pin 8 Figure 5. Measurement Between Pins 1 and 8 Capacitance 4.17 pf Capacitance 8.83 pf Figure 4. Capacitance Measurement Between I/O Lines Figure 6. Capacitance Measurement Between I/O Lines and Ground The total devices characterized showed an average capacitance value of around 4.45 pf between I/O lines which complies with the USB 2.0 specification (5.0 pf maximum). The total devices characterized showed an average capacitance value of around 8.9 pf between I/O lines and ground which complies with the USB 2.0 specification (10 pf maximum). It is important to mention that all the capacitance measurements were made without supplying Vcc voltage to the devices since this is one of the most common standard methods for measuring capacitance, so if Vcc is applied to the parts, the capacitance is expected to be a little bit lower than 4.5 pf between I/O lines and 9.0 pf between I/O lines and ground. Also no PCB board was used in order to avoid parasitic inductance effects during the measurements. Capacitance Measurement Between I/O Lines and Ground This measurement needs to be made between any of the I/O pins and ground, so different combinations can be made between the I/O lines and ground, however, for explanation purposes, it will be described in the measurement between pin 1 and pin 8 in Figures 5 and 6.

It additionally defines ranges of test levels which relate to different environmental and installation conditions and establishes test procedures. The object of this standard is to establish a common and reproducible basis for evaluating the performance of electrical and electronic equipment when subjected to electrostatic discharges. In addition, it includes electrostatic discharges which may occur from personnel to objects near vital equipment.

IEC 61000–4–5 (Surge 8 x 20 sec) The IEC61000–4–5 International Standard relates to the immunity requirements and test methods for electrical and electronic equipment subjected to Lighting conditions (surge 8 x 20 sec). Figure 13 shows an oscilloscope plot that illustrates and describes an 8 x 20 sec pulse condition. This pulse is defined as double exponential since it is composed by two exponential factors, one of them defines the Rise time of the waveform (which in this case is 8.0 sec) and the other one defines the decay time (which in this case is 20 sec), this decay time is measured at 50% of the peak current value since it is the region in which the highest energy is dissipated. According to the industrial standard IEC61000–4–5, this kind of waveform represents the waveform conditions generated due to lighting conditions. Ch1. – Current waveform, surge 8 x 20 sec, IPP = 10.16 A Ch2. – Clamping Voltage Vc = 11.1 V NOTE: The pulse current was measured with a current monitor with conversion factor of 100 mV = 1.0 Amp. Figure 14. Figure 13. Double Exponential Pulse 8 x 20 sec For these characterization purposes, a standard surge generator (8 x 20 sec waveform) known as KeyTek tester model 424 was used. The surge test pulse is applied to the device between any of its I/O lines and ground, and the measurements to be taken are the peak current value (Ipp) and the clamping voltage (Vc) in the device. Our NUP4201DR2 devices specify two different conditions for clamping voltage (Vp), these conditions are shown below: • 9.8 V Maximum @ IPP = 1.0 A (8 x 20 sec waveform) • 12 V Maximum @ IPP = 10 A (8 x 20 sec waveform) Ch1. – Current waveform, surge 8 x 20 sec, IPP = 1.02 A Ch2. – Clamping Voltage Vc = 8.7 V NOTE: The pulse current was measured with a current monitor with conversion factor of 100 mV = 1.0 Amp. Figure 15. As shown in the above figures, our NUP4201DR2 devices showed a clamping voltage according to the specifications shown in the device’s data sheet either for 1.0 A and 10 A of surge current 8 x 20 sec. Figures 14 and 15 illustrate two oscilloscope waveforms that show the clamping voltage performance of our http://onsemi.com 8 AND8082/D In addition, it has been learned that most of the devices tested showed a higher peak power dissipation than 500 Watts (8 x 20 sec pulse) before they failed, so it shows by itself that the surge capability of our NUP4201DR2 devices is high enough to cover and exceed our actual spec of 500 Watts. Some of the data taken is shown in Table 5. supply voltage. The internal TVS diode prevents overvoltage on the supply rail. Scheme 2.

The NUP4201DR2 can be isolated from the power supply by connecting a series resistor between pins 2 and 3 and Vcc. A resistor of 10 Kohms is recommended for isolation purposes. The internal TVS and steering diodes remain biased, which provides the advantage of lower capacitance. Typical Connection Schemes The NUP4201DR2 is able to protect up to four data lines against transient overvoltage conditions by driving them to a fixed reference point for clamping purposes. The steering diodes will be forward biased whenever the voltage on the protected line exceeds the reference voltage (Vcc + Vf). The diodes will drive the transient current away from the sensitive circuit. Data lines are connected at pins 1, 4, 6 and 7. The negative reference is connected at pins 5 and 8. These pins must be connected directly to ground by using a ground plane to minimize the PCB’s ground inductance. It is very important to reduce as much as possible the PCB trace lengths to minimize parasitic inductances. Scheme 3. Four Data lines protection using internal TVS diode as reference. I/O 1 I/O 2 Scheme 1. I/O 3 Four Data lines protection and power supply protection using Vcc as reference. I/O 4 VCC 8 2 7 3 6 4 5 8 NC 2 7 NC 3 6 4 5 In the case of applications in which a positive supply reference is not available or full isolation is required, the internal TVS could be used as the reference, so for this purpose, pins 2 and 3 are not connected. In this case, the steering diodes will conduct whenever the voltage on the protected line exceeds the working voltage of the TVS plus one diode drop (Vc = Vf + VTVS). ON Semiconductor’s NUP4201DR2 provides a concept named “RailClamp” which is designed to eliminate the disadvantages of the usage of discrete diodes for ESD protection. The RailClamp concept is achieved with the integration of the TVS device, together with the steering diodes. I/O 1 I/O 2 1 1 I/O 3 I/O 4 For this configuration, connect pins 2 and 3 directly to the positive supply rail (Vcc), the data lines are referenced to the http://onsemi.com 9 AND8082/D products which make this technique obsolete and non–efficient because the interconnections of the discrete devices increase the parasitic inductance effects during a transient condition which reduces significantly the performance of the ESD protection circuit. The NUP4201DR2 provides a unique integrated Low Capacitance TVS Diode Array designed to protect multiple I/O lines and the power supply line against damage due to ESD conditions or transient voltage conditions. Because of its very low capacitance array configuration, it can be used in high speed I/O data lines such as USB 2.0 components. In addition to its low capacitance characteristics, the NUP4201DR2 device from ON Semiconductor complies with the most common industrial standards for ESD, EFT and surge protection: IEC61000–4–2, IEC61000–4–4, IEC61000–4–5. Figure 16 illustrates how to connect the NUP4201DR2 to protect two USB ports. During an ESD condition, the ESD current will be driven to ground through the TVS device, so the resulting clamping voltage on the protected IC will be: Vc = VF (RailClamp) + VTVS. The clamping voltage of the TVS device is shown as part of the specifications of the NUP4201DR2 data sheet. The clamping voltage will depend on the magnitude of the ESD current. The steering diodes are fast switching devices with unique forward voltage and low capacitance characteristics. Typical Application Scheme for ESD Protection in USB Port As known, a USB port is composed of four lines. The lines D+ & D– are used for bi–directional data transmission, and the remaining two lines are reserved for bus voltage and ground. Since USB is a hot plugging and unplugging system, all its four lines have the risk to receive ESD conditions in the real field of the application. Typical ESD protection techniques are commonly formed by the combination of different discrete semiconductor UPSTREAM USB PORT VBUS VBUS VBUS D– GND VBUS D+ RT D+ RT VBUS USB Controller D– VBUS NUP4201DR2 CT CT DOWNSTREAM USB PORT GND VBUS VBUS RT D+ RT D– GND DOWNSTREAM USB PORT CT CT Figure 16. ESD Protection for USB Port If a transient voltage condition occurs, the steering diodes drive the transient current away from the protected IC while the integrated TVS device drives the surge to ground. The TVS device will also suppress the ESD conditions induced on the voltage bus (VBUS). http://onsemi.com 10 AND8082/D • Locate the NUP4201DR2 device as close to the USB PCB Design Considerations PCB design activities for USB applications is critical to meet the USB 2.0 and 1.1 requirements, so standard high frequency PCB design rules should be used in the layout to minimize any parasitic inductance and capacitance that may degrade the device’s performance. It requires optimum component placement and good practices in circuit designing. Some general design guidelines are listed below to optimize the performance of the NUP4201DR2. Some of these guidelines were derived from the ON Semiconductor application note AND8026/D: • Use ground planes to minimize the PCB’s ground inductance. • Critical signal lines should not be operated near board edges. • D+ and D– signal line traces must not be operated near similar signal lines or high speed data–transferring lines. • • connector as possible to avoid transient coupling. Minimize the PCB trace lengths between the USB connector and the NUP4201DR2 device. Minimize the PCB trace lengths for the ground return connections. Bibliography References 1.
