Low input capacitance makes this device ideal for ESD protection of high-speed signals. Each channel consists of a pair of diodes that steer ESD current pulses to VCC or GND. The MAX14541E is a 3-channel device (see the Functional Diagram). The MAX14541E is designed to work in conjunction with a device’s intrinsic ESD protection. The MAX14541E limits the excursion of the ESD event to below Q25V peak voltage when subjected to the Human Body Model waveform. When subjected to the IEC 61000-4-2 Contact Discharge waveform, the peak voltage is limited to Q60V. The peak voltage is limited to Q100V when subjected to Air-Gap Discharge. The device protected by the MAX14541E must be able to withstand these peak voltages, plus any additional voltage generated by the parasitic of the board. ___________Applications Information Design Considerations Maximum protection against ESD damage results from proper board layout (see the Layout Recommendations section). A good layout reduces the parasitic series inductance on the ground line, supply line, and protected signal lines. The MAX14541E ESD diodes clamp the voltage on the protected lines during an ESD event and shunt the current to GND or VCC. In an ideal circuit, the clamping voltage (VC) is defined as the forward voltage drop (VF) of the protection diode, plus any supply voltage present on the cathode. where IESD is the ESD current pulse. During an ESD event, the current pulse rises from zero to peak value in nanoseconds (Figure 2). For example, in a +15kV IEC 61000-4-7 Air-Gap Discharge ESD event, the pulse current rises to approximately 45A in 1ns (di/dt = 45 x 109). An inductance of only 10nH adds an additional 450V to the clamp voltage, and represents approximately 0.5in of board trace. Regardless of the device’s specified diode clamp voltage, a poor layout with parasitic inductance significantly increases the effective clamp voltage at the protected signal line. Minimize the effects of parasitic inductance by placing the MAX14541E as close as possible to the connector (or ESD contact point). A low-ESR 0.1FF capacitor is required between VCC and GND to get the maximum ESD protection possible. This bypass capacitor absorbs the charge transferred by a positive ESD event. Ideally, the supply rail (VCC) would absorb the charge caused by a positive ESD strike without changing its regulated value. All power supplies have an effective output impedance on their positive rails. If a power supply’s effective output impedance is 1I, then by using V = I x R, the clamping voltage of VC increases by the equation VC = IESD x ROUT. A +8kV IEC 61000-4-2 ESD event generates a current spike of 24A. The clamping voltage increases by VC = 24A x 1I, or VC = 24V. Again, a poor layout without proper bypassing increases the clamping voltage. A ceramic chip capacitor mounted as close as possible to the MAX14541E VCC pin is the best choice for this application. A bypass capacitor should also be placed as close as possible to the protected device. For positive ESD pulses: POSITIVE SUPPLY RAIL VC = VCC + VF L2 For negative ESD pulses: VC = -VF The effect of the parasitic series inductance on the lines must also be considered (Figure 1).

The MAX14541E helps users design equipment that meets Level 4 of IEC 61000-4-2. The main difference between tests done using the Human Body Model and IEC 61000-4-2 Model is higher peak current in IEC 61000-4-2.

The MAX14541E clamps to 100V; however, with improper layout, the voltage spike at the device can be much higher. A lead inductance of 10nH with a 45A current spike results in an additional 450V spike on the protected line. It is essential that the layout of the PCB follows these guidelines: 1) Minimize trace length between the connector or input terminal, I/O_, and the protected signal line.
