4.3.3.3.2 Direct Contact Discharge ESD Recommendation

In direct contact ESD tests, ESD noise is injected directly into the ground. This results in common mode noise injected into the PHY, often resulting in link down. Therefore, reducing the common mode noise injection in the design is crucial for ESD performance. Please refer to the following recommendations to minimize common mode noise injection:

  • Verify there is ground separation between connector ground and digital ground to prevent any noise injection directly into the system. This minimizes the ground bounce effect on the system
  • No shorted center taps on the transformer
    • Reduces the crosstalk
    • Reduces chance of mode conversion
    • Help with link recovery during the ESD test. Prevent most of the class C performance
      • Reduce the affect on Auto-MDIX (conversion between reciever and transmitter) during ESD test
  • Discrete magnetics and RJ45 connectors reduce the injection area of ESD noise, improving the transformer performance during ESD tests
  • Optimize the layout of MDI lines to reduce the common noise picked up from surroundings, ground bounce, and other signals on PCB
    • Refer to schematic and layout recommendation
  • Optimize PCB connector ground to provide better a better ground path and minimize the coupling effect on MDI lines
    • Refer to schematic and layout recommendation
