Introduction
The Texas Instruments TPD4E110DPW evaluation module helps designers evaluate the operation and
performance of the TPD4E110DPW device. The TPD4E110DPW is a quad channel ESD protection
device in a small DPW package. The device offers ICE61000-4-2 compliant ESD protection. The less than
0.5 pF line capacitance is suitable for a wide range of applications. The TPD4E110DPW is characterized
for operation over an ambient air temperature range of –40°C to +125°C.
The EVM contains fifteen TPD4E110DPWs. Four TPD4E110DPWs (U1, U2, U14, and U15) are
configured with USB 3.0 Type A connectors (J1 – J4) for capturing Eye Diagrams. Two TPD4E110DPWs
(U3 and U4) are configured with 8 SMA (J5 – J12 ) connectors allowing 4-port analysis with a vector
network analyzer. Nine TPD4E110DPWs (U5 – U13) are configured with test points for striking ESD to the
protection pins, one of those (U9) also has an SMB (J13) connector for capturing clamping waveforms
with an oscilloscope during an ESD test. Caution must be taken when capturing clamping waveforms
during an ESD event so as not to damage the oscilloscope. A proper procedure is outlined in
Section 3.5.1.

Contact Discharge — a method of testing in which the electrode of the ESD simulator is held in contact
with the device-under-test (DUT).
Air Discharge — a method of testing in which the charged electrode of the ESD simulator approaches the
DUT, and a spark to the DUT actuates the discharge.
ESD simulator — a device that outputs IEC61000-4-2 compliance ESD waveforms shown in Figure 1 with
adjustable ranges shown in Table 2 and Table 3.
IEC61000-4-2 has 4 classes of protection levels. Classes 1 – 4 are shown in Table 2. Stress tests should
be incrementally tested to level 4 as shown in Table 3 until the point of failure. If the DUT does not fail at
8-kV, testing can continue in 2-kV increments until failure.

Setup
This section describes the intended use of the EVM. A generalized outline of the procedure given in IEC61000-4-2 is described here. IEC-61000-4-2 must be referred to for a more specific testing outline. Basic
configurations for collecting S-parameters, Eye Diagrams, and ESD clamping waveforms are outlined as
well.

Setup
3.1
www.ti.com
Single Layer Routing on SSRX/SSTX
The two TPD4E110DPWs (U2 and U15) are configured with two USB 3.0 Type A male and female
connectors (J3 & J4) for capturing Eye Diagrams. U2 is protecting the Super-Speed USB 3.0 Rx and Tx
differential pairs and U15 is protecting the Hi-Speed D± pair. U15 uses two IO ports per signal line. Using
J4 as input and J3 as output attach to a USB 3.0 compliant Eye Diagram tester setup for the intended
application, either transmitter side or receiver side.
3.2
Double Layer Routing on SSRX/SSTX
The two TPD4E110DPWs (U1 and U14) are configured with two USB 3.0 Type A male and female
connectors (J1 & J2) for capturing Eye Diagrams. U1 is protecting the Super-Speed USB 3.0 Rx and Tx
differential pairs and U14 is protecting the Hi-Speed D± pair. U14 uses two IO ports per signal lines in the
same fashion as U15. Using J2 as input and J1 as output attach to a USB 3.0 compliant Eye Diagram
tester setup for the intended application, either transmitter side or receiver side.
3.3
U3 and U4
The two TPD4E110DPWs (U3 and U4) are each configured with 4 SMA connectors to allow 4-port
analysis with a vector network analyzer. For U3 connect Port 1 to J5, Port 2 to J6, Port 3 to J7, and Port 4
to J8. For U4 connect Port 1 to J9, Port 2 to J10, Port 3 to J11, and Port 4 to J12. This configuration
allows for the following terminology in 4 port analysis:
• S11: Return loss
• S21: Insertion loss
• S31: Near end cross talk
• S41: Far end cross talk
3.4
U5 – U13
The TPD4E110DPW (U5 – U13) can be used for destructive electrostatic discharge (ESD) pass-fail ESD
strikes. Specifically, they can be used for both IEC-61000-4-2 air and contact discharge tests. The
procedure in Section 3.4.1 ensures proper testing setup and method for both discharge tests. Each IO has
a Test Pad (1 – 30) directly connected to it. U5 – U10 have each IO port pinned out separately. U11 –
U13 have two IO ports connected in parallel per trace. This affords higher levels of ESD protection per
signal line when the extra capacitance does not affect the signal integrity, as in USB 2.0 Hi-Speed signal
lines.
3.4.1
Test Method and Set-Up
An example test setup is shown in Figure 2. Details of the testing table and ground planes can be found in
the IEC 61000-4-2 test procedure. Ground the EVM using the banana connector labeled GND (J9).
Discharge the ESD simulator on any of the Test Points TP1 – TP10. Contact and air-gap discharge are
tested using the same simulator with the same discharge waveform. While the simulator is in direct
contact with the test point during contact, it is not during air-gap.

3.4.2
Evaluation of Test Results
Connect the tested device on the EVM to a curve tracer both before and after ESD testing. After each
incremental level, if the IV curve of the ESD protection diode shifts ±0.1 V, or leakage current increases by
a factor of ten, then the device is permanently damaged by ESD.
3.5
U9
One TPD4E110DPW (U9) also has an SMA (J13) connector for capturing clamping waveforms with an
oscilloscope during an ESD strike. Caution must be taken when capturing clamping waveforms during an
ESD event so as not to damage the oscilloscope.
3.5.1
Oscilloscope Setup
Capturing ESD clamping waveforms exposes the oscilloscope to potential voltages higher than the rating
of the equipment. Proper methodology can mitigate any risk in this operation.
Recommended Equipment:
• Minimum of 1-GHz bandwidth oscilloscope.
• 1 10X 50Ω attenuator and 150 Ω resistor (already installed at R1).
• 50 Ω shielded SMB cable
Procedure:
In order to protect the oscilloscope, attenuation of the recorded signal is required. Here are two possible
procedures for testing U5:
1. 1. Using one 10X attenuator:
• Attach one 10X attenuator to the oscilloscope.
• Attach the 50 Ω shielded SMB cable between J13 and the attenuator.
• Set the scope attenuation factor to 30X.
• Set the oscilloscope to trigger on a positive edge for (+) ESD and a negative edge for (–) ESD
strikes. The magnitude must be set to 20 V.
• Following Section 3.4.1, strike contact ESD to TP17.
Recommended settings for the time axis is 20 ns/div and for the voltage axis is 5-V division.
The voltage levels of the ESD applied to TP17 must not exceed ±8-kV while capturing clamping
waveforms.
