Microsemi .COM The “FemtoFarad” product family is specifically for ESD bidirectional protection of vulnerable electronic components, especially at IO ports. Continued shrinking of onchip component geometries of sub-micron sizes have reduced levels of ESD at which upset and failure occurs to the extent that protection is mandatory for reliability of power and data line interfaces. The sub-picofarad capacitance of this series provides excellent performance up through six GHz with minimal attenuation without linear or harmonic distortion well into the GHz range. In the off-state, this FemtoFarad, polymeric based technology is virtually invisible to circuit performance. Its proven structure is thick film on a rugged ceramic base that is ideal for automated assembly. Subsequent paragraphs and charts describe the outstanding performance and reliability of FemtoFarad components and many other features that make them the designer’s choice for ESD protection.

Microsemi .COM Clamp Voltage – The voltage at which the TVSF0603 device stabilizes during the transition from high to low impedance. This is the voltage experienced by the circuit, after stabilizing, for the duration of the ESD transient. Trigger Voltage – The voltage at which the TVSF0603 device begins to conduct. When the ESD threat voltage reaches this level, the TVSF0603 device begins the transition from high impedance to low impedance, shunting the ESD energy to ground. Threat Voltage – The voltage that the test equipment is set to operate (i.e., the voltage across the discharge capacitor). Peak Current – The maximum instanteneous current level that a device will receive. IEC-61000-4-2 states that the peak current should be 30 A at 8 kV ESD and 45 A at 15 kV ESD.

Microsemi .COM Part Numbering FemtoFarad Device Designator TVSF 0603 -TR1 Device Configuration Tape-and-Reel 5,000 pcs Part Numbering TVSF devices are not individually marked, but labeled on the tape-and-reel unit. Components are symmetrically bi-directional, hence no polarity marking is required. Pick-and- Place Assembly TVSF devices have a slightly rounded top that is inherent in their fabrication. This slight radius does not hinder standard pick-andplace assembly methods. Test Methods Multiple test methods are often required for surge characterization and withstand verification. Results may vary according to test method since secondary effects of the Electrical and Magnetic (E and H) fields on instrumentation and non-shielded circuits may produce undesired results. This is particularly observed below 3 kV where rise times in the 100 ps range have been reported producing electromagnetic conditions equivalent to 30 kV/ns. ESD Open Air / Contact Discharge This fast rise pulse, characterized in IEC 61000-4-2, can produce peak currents up to 45A with voltage levels of 15 kV. Contact discharge is the recommended method of test because of its repeatability; however, real world ESD events are open-air human body discharges. Air discharges introduce pre-corona discharge with E and H fields that allow energy to leak through narrow vents and radiate from isolated circuit and enclosure segments. A TVSF device may be very capable of providing protection from ESD, but its function can be nullified by poor board layout and inadequate shielding. ESD surges on a conductor have been observed to electromagnetically bypass suppressors causing circuit upset or failure. Shielding may be required for supplementing suppressor protection devices. The Transmission Line Pulse tester implements a controlled impedance cable to deliver a square-wave current pulse. The advantage of this technique is that the constant current of the square wave allows the behavior of the protection structure to be more accurately studied. The actual implementation of this technique produces a waveform that has a slightly slower rise time than the ESD pulse but can be correlated to deliver approximately the same surge current and energy. This controlled impedance pulse provides a more accurate depiction of the trigger voltage of the device because of the reduced voltage overshoot caused by a fast-rising transient and the reactive components of the test fixture.
