The TPD2E009 device is a diode-array type TVS typically used to provide a path to ground for dissipating ESD events on high-speed signal lines between a human-interface connector and a system. As the current from ESD passes through the TVS, only a small voltage drop is present across the diode. This is the voltage presented to the protected IC. The low RDYN of the triggered TVS holds this voltage, VCLAMP, to a tolerable level to the protected IC.
The TPD2E009 device is typically used to protect a single high-speed differential pair. Multiple TPD2E009 devices can be used to provide protection for connectors with multiple differential data lanes. This example is applicable to many interface types including:
For this design example, TPD2E009 is used to protect any differential data pair meeting the design requirements shown in the following table.
DESIGN PARAMETER | VALUE |
---|---|
Maximum signal range on D+ and D– | 0 V to 5.5 V |
Maximum Operating Frequency | 3 GHz |
To begin the design process, some parameters must be decided upon; the designer must know the following:
