Description
The USBLC6-2SC6 and USBLC6-2P6 are
monolithic application specific devices dedicated
to ESD protection of high speed interfaces, such
as USB 2.0, Ethernet links and video lines.
The very low line capacitance secures a high level
of signal integrity without compromising in
protecting sensitive chips against the most
stringently characterized ESD strikes.

Technical information
2.1
Surge protection
The USBLC6-2 is particularly optimized to perform surge protection based on the rail to rail
topology.
The clamping voltage VCL can be calculated as follow:
VCL+ = VTRANSIL + VF for positive surges
VCL- = - VF for negative surges
with: VF = VT + Rd.Ip
(VF forward drop voltage) / (VT forward drop threshold voltage)
and VTRANSIL = VBR + Rd_TRANSIL.IP
Calculation example
We assume that the value of the dynamic resistance of the clamping diode is typically:
Rd = 0.5 Ω and VT = 1.1 V
We assume that the value of the dynamic resistance of the transil diode is typically:
Rd_TRANSIL = 0.5 Ω and VBR = 6.1 V
For an IEC 61000-4-2 surge Level 4 (Contact Discharge: Vg = 8 kV, Rg = 330 Ω),
VBUS = +5 V, and if in first approximation, we assume that:
Ip = Vg / Rg = 24 A.
So, we find:
VCL+ = +31.2 V
VCL- = -13 V
Note:
The calculations do not take into account phenomena due to parasitic inductances.
2.2
Surge protection application example
If we consider that the connections from the pin VBUS to VCC, from I/O to data line and from
GND to PCB GND plane are done by tracks of 10 mm long and 0.5 mm large, we assume
that the parasitic inductances LVBUS, LI/O and LGND of these tracks are about 6 nH. So when
an IEC 61000-4-2 surge occurs on data line, due to the rise time of this spike (tr=1ns), the
voltage VCL has an extra value equal to LI/O.dl/dt + LGND.dI/dt.
The dI/dt is calculated as:
dI/dt = Ip/tr = 24 A/ns
The overvoltage due to the parasitic inductances is:
LI/O.dl/dt = LGND.dI/dt = 6 nH x 24 A/ns = 144 V
By taking into account the effect of these parasitic inductances due to unsuitable layout, the
clamping voltage will be:
VCL+ = +31.2 + 144 + 144 = 319.2 V
VCL- = -13.1 - 144 - 144 = -301.1 V

Technical information
We can significantly reduce this phenomena with simple layout optimization. It is for this
reason that some recommendations have to be followed (see 2.3: How to ensure good ESD
protection).

How to ensure good ESD protection
While the USBLC6-2 provides high immunity to ESD surge, efficient protection depends on
the layout of the board. In the same way, with the rail to rail topology, the track from data
lines to I/O pins, from VCC to VBUS pin and from GND plane to GND pin must be as short as
possible to avoid overvoltages due to parasitic phenomena (see Figure 6. and Figure 7. for
layout consideration)

Important:
A good precaution to take is to put the protection device as close as possible to the
disturbance source (generally the connector).

RECEIVERS
The crosstalk phenomenon is due to the coupling between 2 lines. The coupling factor (β12
or β21) increases when the gap across lines decreases, particularly in silicon dice. In the
above example the expected signal on load RL2 is α2VG2, in fact the real voltage at this point
has got an extra value β21VG1. This part of the VG1 signal represents the effect of the
crosstalk phenomenon of the line 1 on the line 2. This phenomenon has to be taken into
account when the drivers impose fast digital data or high frequency analog signals in the
disturbing line. The perturbed line will be more affected if it works with low voltage signal or
high load impedance (few kΩ).

As the USBLC6-2 is designed to protect high speed data lines, it must ensure a good
transmission of operating signals. The frequency response (Figure 5.) gives attenuation
information and shows that the USBLC6-2 is well suitable for data line transmission up to
480 Mbit/s while it works as a filter for undesirable signals like GSM (900 MHz) frequencies,
for instance.
