PRODUCTION DATA
To effectively protect USB transceivers, use TVS diodes with breakdown voltages close to 6 V, such as the SN65220, SN65240, or SN75220 devices.
Because of the TVS junction capacitance of 35 pF, apply these TVS diodes only to USB transceivers with full-speed capability that is 12 Mbps maximum.
Place the TVS diodes as close to the board connector as possible to prevent transient energies from entering further board space.
Connect the TVS diode between the data lines (D+, D–) and local circuit ground (GND).
Because noise transient represents high-speed frequencies, ensure low-inductance return paths for the transient currents by providing a solid ground plane and using two VIAs connecting the TVS terminals to ground.
