3.2.8 ESD Test Results for TMP116

Using industry standard ESD test generators calibrated to the IEC/EN test waveforms, TIDA-010002 PCB has been tested for ESD compliance as shown in Table 3-5. For more details on the ESD test setup used, see IEC 61000-4-x Tests for TI’s Protection Devices.

As per the EN1434-4 requirements, EN61000-4-5 testing is only applicable if the cable length for the RTD sensor is longer than 10 m, which is quite challenging for I2C-bus connection. Nevertheless, a surge test has been run with an actual pulse voltage of 29 V through a 2-Ω load plus the 2.83-Ω dynamic resistance of the ESD device and the TMP116 downstream device.

For a surge test with a 42-Ω load (2 Ω is the CWG source impedance and 40 Ω from the coupling network) plus the ESD351 + TMP116 dynamic resistance of 2.83 Ω the result is 44.83 times the amount of current 6 A or approximately 269 V.

The 269 V are almost half of the 500 V, required for signal cables longer than 10 m.

The ESD compliance achieved and listed in Table 3-5 is nearly double of the required (as per EN 1434-4:2014-04) limits for contact discharge of 4 kV and air discharge of 8 kV.

Here the TPD1E04U04 device can be an alternative, as it is specified for ±16 kV IEC 61000-4-2 level 4 ESD protection, which is also above the required minimum.

Either of the ESD351 or TPD1E04U04 protection devices can be populated as they share a single 0402 footprint on the TIDA-010002 PCB, providing alternatives based on price or performance.
