4.5 SPICE Simulation – SEED Method

Figure 4-4(a) shows the SPICE simulation schematic of the IEC Protection design using the SEED methodology. It consists of the following blocks:

  • IEC ESD pulse generator as shown in Figure 4-1. An 8-kV IEC pulse with initial transient peak of approximately 30 A and slow discharge curve with peak current of approximately 18 A is generated.
  • TVS diode model with maximum breakdown voltage of 9.5 V and dynamic on-resistance of 1 Ω.
  • Minimum decoupling capacitor with a capacitance value of 2.2 nF (in parallel to the TVS model) used to limit the voltage induced by the initial fast transient current spike.
  • Decoupling resistor of 16 Ω between the TVS device and device interface pin models.
  • MSP430 device interface pin model with minimum turn-on voltage of 2.6 V and minimum on-resistance of 1.15 Ω.

The SPICE simulation waveforms (both the current and voltage curves) at the TVS and IC pin nodes are as shown in Figure 4-4(b). Simulation waveforms show the peak current and voltage values of IIEC,max approximately 18 A and VTVS,max approximately 26.5 V at the TVS node respectively, and less than IIC,max of 1.47 A and VIC,max of 4.3 V at the IC pin node respectively. These results match nicely with the results of the calculation in Section 4.4.
