8.2.2 Input Protection for Electrical Overstress

For applications that require protection against overvoltage or fast transient events beyond the specified absolute maximum ratings of the device, an external protection clamp circuit using transient voltage suppressors (TVS) or a Schottky diode is recommended. Figure 8-4 shows the TVS (DxA or DxB) protection on each channel. A proper TVS diode must be selected to protect the specific ADC device. A standoff voltage between 10 V to 15 V of the bidirectional TVS diode can be used to protect the ADS8686S if the ADCs input range is configured as ±10-V. The breakdown voltage of the selected TVS diode must be less than the specified absolute maximum input voltage ratings of the device, which is ±15 V on the ADS8686S.

The positive temperature coefficient (PTC) fuses (PTC_xA or PTC_xB) are placed in series to protect the circuit by changing from a low-resistance to a high-resistance state in response to an overcurrent during fault condition. This PTC fuse behavior is useful for the input protection circuit because the series resistance is low in the normal un-tripped state and keeps the distortion relatively low. The PTC offers high series resistance in the tripped state to limit the fault current and power dissipation. Along with the TVS diode, the PTC clamps the overdriven signal. See the Electrical Overstress on Data Converters video series for a theoretical explanation of overstress on data converters.

Figure 8-5 shows a high-voltage continuous input overvoltage sinusoidal wave signal (60 VPP) on the left side and a clamped signal on the right side with a PTC fuse (PTS120660V005) from Eaton Electronics™ and a bidirectional TVS diode (SMBJ12CA) from ON Semiconductor® on the ADS8686SEVM. The external bidirectional TVS diode is turned on and the overvoltage sinusoidal wave signal is clamped to a ±14.5 VPEAK, which is less than the ±15-V absolute maximum input voltage ratings of the ADS8686S device, so the ADC device is protected from the overvoltage input signal. For detailed information about input protection to the ADS8686S, see the Input Protection for High-Voltage ADC Circuit With TVS Diode and PTC-Fuse application book.
