DESCRIPTION
The USB specification requires upstream ports
to be terminated with pull-up resistors from the
D+ and D- lines to Vbus. On the
implementation of USB systems, the radiated
and conducted EMI should be kept within the
required levels as stated by the FCC
regulations. In addition to the requirements of
termination and EMC compatibility, the
computing devices are required to be tested for
ESD susceptibility.
The USBUFxxW6 provides the recommended line
termination while implementing a low pass filter to
limit EMI levels and providing ESD protection
which exceeds IEC61000-4-2 level 4 standard.
The device is packaged in a SOT323-6L which is
the smallest available lead frame package (50%
smaller than the standard SOT23).

EMI FILTERING
Current FCC regulations requires that class B computing devices meet specified maximum levels for both
radiated and conducted EMI.
- Radiated EMI covers the frequency range from 30MHz to 1GHz.
- Conducted EMI covers the 450kHz to 30MHz range.
For the types of devices utilizing the USB, the most difficult test to pass is usually the radiated EMI test. For
this reason the USBUFxxW6 device is aiming to minimize radiated EMI.
The differential signal (D+ and D-) of the USB does not contribute significantly to radiated or conducted
EMI because the magnetic field of both conductors cancels each other.
The inside of the PC environment is very noisy and designers must minimize noise coupling from the
different sources. D+ and D- must not be routed near high speed lines (clocks spikes).
Induced common mode noise can be minimized by running pairs of USB signals parallel to each other and
running grounded guard trace on each side of the signal pair from the USB controller to the USBUF device.
If possible, locate the USBUF device physically near the USB connectors. Distance between the USB controller and the USB connector must be minimized.
The 47pF (Ct) capacitors are used to bypass high frequency energy to ground and for edge control, and
are placed between the driver chip and the series termination resistors (Rt). Both Ct and Rt should be
placed as close to the driver chip as is practicable.
The USBUFxxW6 ensures a filtering protection against ElectroMagnetic and RadioFrequency Interferences
thanks to its low-pass filter structure. This filter is characterized by the following parameters :
- cut-off frequency
- Insertion loss
- high frequency rejection.

ESD PROTECTION
In addition to the requirements of termination and EMC compatibility, computing devices are required to be
tested for ESD susceptibility. This test is described in the IEC 61000-4-2 and is already in place in Europe.
This test requires that a device tolerates ESD events and remains operational without user intervention.
The USBUFxxW6 is particularly optimized to perform ESD protection. ESD protection is based on the use
of device which clamps at :
Vcl = VBR + Rd .IPP
This protection function is splitted in 2 stages. As shown in figure A5, the ESD strikes are clamped by the
first stage S1 and then its remaining overvoltage is applied to the second stage through the resistor Rt.
Such a configuration makes the output voltage very low at the output.

Vout
To have a good approximation of the remaining voltages at both Vin and Vout stages, we give the typical
dynamical resistance value Rd. By taking into account these following hypothesis : Rt>Rd, Rg>Rd and
Rload>Rd, it gives these formulas:
Rg .VBR + Rd .Vg
Vinput =
Rg
Rt.VBR + Rd .Vinput
Voutput =
Rt
The results of the calculation done for Vg=8kV, Rg=330Ω (IEC61000-4-2 standard), V BR=7V (typ.)
and Rd = 1Ω (typ.) give:
Vinput = 31.2 V
Voutput = 7.95 V
This confirms the very low remaining voltage across the device to be protected. It is also important to note
that in this approximation the parasitic inductance effect was not taken into account. This could be few
tenths of volts during few ns at the Vinput side. This parasitic effect is not present at the Voutput side due
the low current involved after the resistance Rt.
The measurements done hereafter show very clearly (Fig. A7) the high efficiency of the ESD protection :
- no influence of the parasitic inductances on Voutput stage
- Voutput clamping voltage very close to VBR (breakdown voltage) in the positive way
and -VF (forward voltage) in the negative way

Please note that the USBUFxxW6 is not only acting for positive ESD surges but also for negative ones. For
these kinds of disturbances it clamps close to ground voltage as shown in Fig. A7b.
LATCH-UP PHENOMENA
The early ageing and destruction of IC’s is often due to latch-up phenomenon which is mainly induced by
dV/dt. Thanks to its structure, the USBUFxxW6 provides a high immunity to latch-up phenomenon by
smoothing very fast edges.

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 example above 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).

shows the effect of the D+ cell on the D- cell. In usual frequency range of analog signals (up to 100MHz) the
effect on disturbed line is less than -37dB.

Figure A12 shows, with a signal from 0 to 5V and
rise time of few ns, the impact on the disturbed line
is less than 250mV peak to peak. No data disturbance was noted on the other line.The measurements performed with falling edges gives an
impact within the same range.

TRANSITION TIMES
This low pass filter has been designed in order to meet the USB 1.1 standard requirements that implies the
signal edges are maintained within the 4ns-20ns stipulated USB specification limits. To verify this point, we
have measured the rise time of VD+ voltage (please refer to Fig. A13) with and without the USBUFxxW6
device.
