2.16 ESD and EMI Layout Rules

  • Place ESD and EMI protection devices as close as possible to the connector.
  • Keep any unprotected traces away from protected traces to minimize EMI coupling.
  • Incorporate 60% voids under the ESD and EMI component signal pads to reduce losses.
  • Use 0402 0Ω resistors for common-mode filter (CMF) no-stuff options because larger components typically introduce more loss that the CMF.
  • Place any required signal pair AC coupling capacitors on the protected side of the CMF and as close as possible to the CMF.
  • If vias are needed to transition to the CMF layer, make sure that the vias are as close as possible to the CMF.
  • Keep the overall routing of AC coupling capacitors + CMF + ESD protection as short and as close as possible to the connector.
