UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED, this document contains PRODUCTION DATA.
System-level ESD (per EN61000-4-2) may occur as the result of a cable being plugged in, or a user touching the USB connector or cable. Figure 42 shows an example ESD protection for the VBUS path that helps protect the VBUS pin, ISNS and DSCG pins of the TPS25741/TPS25741A from system-level ESD. The TPS25741/TPS25741A has ESD protection built into the CC1 and CC2 pins so that no external protection is necessary. Refer to the layout guidelines section for external component placement and routing recommendations.
The Schottky diode is to protect against VBUS being drawn below ground by an inductive load, the cable inductance may be as high as 900 nH.
