PRODUCTION DATA
D+ and D– protection consists of ESD and OVP (overvoltage protection). The DP_IN and DM_IN pins integrate an IEC ESD cell to provide ESD protection up to ±15 kV air discharge and ±8 kV contact discharge per IEC 61000-4-2 (See the ESD Ratings section for test conditions). Overvoltage protection (OVP) is provided for short-to-VBUS conditions in the vehicle harness to prevent damaging the upstream USB transceiver. Short-to-GND protection for D+ and D– is provided by the upstream USB transceiver.
The ESD stress seen at DP_IN and DM_IN is impacted by many external factors like the parasitic resistance and inductance between ESD test points and the DP_IN and DM_IN pins. For air discharge, the temperature and humidity of the environment can cause some difference, so the IEC performance should always be verified in the end-application circuit.
