Single Clamp ESD Protection Conceptually, an ESD protection device performs the following actions upon a strike of ESD discharge into the protected ASIC (see Figure 1). 1. When an ESD potential is applied to the system under test (contact or air-discharge), Kirchoff’s Current Law (KCL) dictates that the Electrical Overstress (EOS) currents will immediately divide throughout the circuit, based on the dynamic impedance of each path. 2. Ideally, the classic shunt ESD clamp will switch within 1ns to a low-impedance path and return the majority of the EOS current to the chassis shield/ reference ground. In actuality, if the ESD component's response time (tCLAMP) is slower than the ASIC it is protecting, or if the Dynamic Resistance (RDYN) is not significantly lower than the ASIC's I/O cell circuitry, then the ASIC will have to absorb a large amount of the EOS energy, and may be more likely to fail. 3. Subsequent to the ESD/EOS event, both devices must immediately return to their original specifications, ready for an additional strike. Any deterioration in parasitics or clamping capability should be considered a failure, as it can affect signal integrity or subsequent protection capability (this is known as "multi-strike" capability.) ESD Strike ESD ESD Protection PROTECTION Device DEVICE ASIC I /O Connector I SHUNT IRESIDUAL Figure 1. Single Clamp ESD Protection Block Diagram Dual Clamp ESD Protection In the CM1231 dual clamp PicoGuard XPTM architecture, the first stage begins clamping immediately, as it does in the single clamp case. The dramatically reduced IRES current from stage one passes through the 1Ω series element and then gradually feeds into the stage two ESD device (see Figure 2). The series inductive and resistive elements further limit the current into the second stage, and greatly attenuate the resultant peak incident pulse presented at the ASIC side of the device. This disconnection between the outside node and the inside ASIC node allows the stage one clamps to turn on and remain in the shunt mode before the ASIC begins to shunt the reduced residual pulse. This gives the advantage to the ESD component in the current division equation, and dramatically reduces the residual energy that the ASIC must dissipate.

From stage 1 to stage 2, the signal lines go through matched dual 1Ω resistors. Advantages of the CM1231 Dual Stage ESD Protection Architecture Figure 4 illustrates a single stage ESD protection device. The inductor element represents the parasitic inductance arising from the bond wire and the PCB trace leading to the ESD protection diodes. The function of the series element (dual 1Ω resistors for the CM1231) is to optimize the operation of the stage two diodes to reduce the final IRES current to a minimum while maintaining an acceptable insertion impedance that is negligible for the associated signaling levels. Connector Bond Wire Inductance Each stage consists of a traditional low-cap Dual Rail Clamp structure which steer the positive or negative ESD current pulse to either the positive (VP) or negative (VN) supply rail. A zener diode is embedded between VP and VN, offering two advantages. First, it protects the VCC rail against ESD strikes. Second, it eliminates the need for an additional bypass capacitor to shunt the positive ESD strikes to ground. The CM1231 therefore replaces as many as 7 discrete components, while taking advantage of precision internal component matching for improved signal integrity, which is not otherwise possible with discrete components at the system level. ESD Stage Figure 4. Single Stage ESD Protection Model Figure 5 illustrates one of the two CM1231 channels. Similarly, the inductor elements represent the parasitic inductance arising from the bond wire and PCB traces leading to the ESD protection diodes as well.

The reactance of the series and the inductor elements in the second stage forces more of the ESD strike current to be shunted through the first stage. At the same time the voltage drop across series element helps to lower the clamping voltage at the protected terminal. In the single stage model, the inductive element presents high impedance at high frequency, i.e. during an ESD strike. The impedance increases the resistance of the conduction path leading to the ESD protection element. This limits the speed that the ESD pulse can discharge through the single stage protection element. The inductor elements also tune the impedance of the stage by cancelling the capacitive load presented by the ESD diodes to the signal line. This improves the signal integrity and makes the ESD protection stages more transparent to the high bandwidth data signals passing through the channel. In the PicoGuard XPTM architecture, the inductance elements are in series to the conduction path leading to the protected device. The elements actually help to limit the current and voltage striking the protected device. The innovative PicoGuard XP architecture turns the disadvantages of the parasitic inductive elements into useful components that help to limit the ESD current strike to the protected device and also improves the signal integrity of the system by balancing the capacitive loading effects of the ESD diodes. Graphical Comparison and Test Setup The following graphs (see Figure 6, Figure 7, and Figure 8) show that the CM1231 (dual stage ESD protector) lowers the peak voltage and clamping voltage by 40% across a wide range of loading conditions in comparison to a standard single stage device. This data was derived using the test setups shown in Figure 9 and Figure 10.

This greatly reduces the effect of supply rail inductance L2 on VCL by clamping VP at the breakdown voltage of the zener diode. However, for the lowest possible VCL, especially when VP is biased at a voltage significantly below the zener breakdown voltage, it is recommended that a 0.22μF ceramic chip capacitor be connected between VP and the ground plane. With the CM1231, this additional bypass capacitor is generally not required. As a general rule, the ESD Protection Array should be located as close as possible to the point of entry of expected electrostatic discharges. The power supply bypass capacitor mentioned above should be as close to the VP pin of the Protection Array as possible, with minimum PCB trace lengths to the power supply, ground planes and between the signal input and the ESD device to minimize stray series inductance.
