Low Capacitance High ESD Level Protection Array
For High Speed I/O Port
Features
Description
ESD Protect for 4 high-speed I/O lines and one
VDD line
Provide ESD protection for each line to
AZC199-04S is a design which includes ESD
rated diode arrays to protect high speed data
interfaces. The AZC199-04S has been specifically
designed to protect sensitive components which
are connected to data and transmission lines from
over-voltage caused by Electrostatic Discharging
(ESD).
AZC199-04S is a unique design which includes
ESD rated, low capacitance steering diodes and a
unique design of clamping cell which is an
equivalent TVS diode in a single package. During
transient conditions, the steering diodes direct the
transient to either the power supply line or to
ground line. The internal unique design of
clamping cell prevents over-voltage on the power
line, protecting any downstream components.
Besides, there is a back-drive protection design in
AZC199-04S for power-down mode operation.
AZC199-04S may be used to meet the ESD
immunity requirements of IEC 61000-4-2, Level 4
(±15kV air, ±8kV contact discharge).
One AZC199-04S can be used to replace 4
BAV99 devices in a 5V application or a lower
than 5V application.

AZC199-04S
Low Capacitance High ESD Level Protection Array
For High Speed I/O Port
Applications Information
A. Design Considerations
The ESD protection scheme for system I/O
connector is shown in the Fig. 1. In Fig. 1, the
diodes D1 and D2 are general used to protect
data line from ESD stress pulse. The diode D3 is
a back-drive protection design, which blocks the
DC back-drive current when the potential of I/O
pin is greater than that of VDD pin. If the
power-rail ESD clamping circuit is not placed
between VDD and GND rails, the positive pulse
ESD current (IESD1) will pass through the ESD
current path1. Thus, the ESD clamping voltage
VCL of data line can be described as follow:
VCL = Fwd voltage drop of D1 + Breakdown
voltage drop of D3 + supply voltage of VDD
rail + L1 × d(IESD1)/dt + L2 × d(IESD1)/dt
Where L1 is the parasitic inductance of data line,
and L2 is the parasitic inductance of VDD rail.
An ESD current pulse can rise from zero to its
peak value in a very short time. As an example, a
level 4 contact discharge per the IEC61000-4-2
standard results in a current pulse that rises from
power-rail ESD
clamp ing circuit
zero to 30A in 1ns. Here d(IESD1)/dt can be
approximated by ∆IESD1/∆t, or 30/(1x10-9). So just
10nH of total parasitic inductance (L1 and L2
combined) will lead to over 300V increment in
VCL! Besides, the ESD pulse current which is
directed into the VDD rail may potentially
damage any components that are attached to
that rail. Moreover, it is common for the forward
voltage drop of discrete diodes to exceed the
damage threshold of the protected IC. This is due
to the relatively small junction area of typical
discrete components. Of course, the discrete
diode is also possible to be destroyed due to its
power dissipation capability is exceeded.
The AZC199-04S has an integrated
power-rail ESD clamped circuit between VDD
and GND rails. It can successfully overcome
previous disadvantages. During an ESD event,
the positive ESD pulse current (IESD2) will be
directed through the integrated power-rail ESD
clamped circuit to GND rail (ESD current path2).
The clamping voltage VCL on the data line is
small and protected IC will not be damaged
because power-rail ESD clamped circuit offer a
low impedance path to discharge ESD pulse
current.

AZC199-04S
Low Capacitance High ESD Level Protection Array
For High Speed I/O Port
B. Device Connection
AZC199-04S can provide protection for 4 I/O
signal lines simultaneously. If the number of I/O
signal lines is less than 4, the unused I/O pins
can be simply left as NC pins.
In some cases, systems are not allowed to
be reset or restart after the ESD stress directly
applying at the I/O-port connector. Under this
situation, in order to enhance the sustainable
ESD Level, a 0.1µF chip capacitor can be added
between the VDD and GND rails. The place of
this chip capacitor should be as close as possible
to the AZC199-04S.
In some cases, there isn’t power rail
presented on the PCB. Under this situation, the
power pin (pin 5) of AZC199-04S can be left as
floating. The protection will not be affected, only
the load capacitance of I/O pins will be slightly
increased. Fig. 3 shows the detail connection.
The AZC199-04S is designed to protect four
data lines and power rails from transient
over-voltage (such as ESD stress pulse). The
device connection of AZC199-04S is shown in
the Fig. 2. In Fig. 2, the four protected data lines
are connected to the ESD protection pins (pin1,
pin3, pin4, and pin6) of AZC199-04S. The ground
pin (pin2) of AZC199-04S is a negative reference
pin. This pin should be directly connected to the
GND rail of PCB (Printed Circuit Board). To get
minimum parasitic inductance, the path length
should keep as short as possible. In addition, the
power pin (pin 5) of AZC199-04S is a positive
reference pin. This pin should directly connect to
the VDD rail of PCB., then the VDD rail also can
be protected by the power-rail ESD clamped
circuit (not shown) of AZC199-04S.

plate as shown in Fig. 5. This back drive current
may make VGA5V be not at zero potential, which
may lead system to an abnormal state. Therefore,
it should be eliminated, and the integrated
back-drive protection diode can eliminate this
current.
The VGA Input Port
In contrast with the design for a VGA output
port, the schematic of ESD protection design for
a VGA input port on a display system is shown in
Fig. 6. In most of VGA input circuit designs, there
are always two power supplies, one is from the
connector’s DSUB-5V pin which potential comes
from another VGA output port, the other is from
the own power supply circuit of the VGA input
port, system 5V. The VDD pin of AZC199-04S is
directly connected to the connector’s DSUB-5V
pin to block the ESD event which comes from the
DSUB-5V pin.
The PCB layout example for the VGA Port
Fig. 7 shows the PCB layout example for a
VGA port with two AZC199-04S being used. In
order to get good signal quality, in this PCB
example, the signal traces for R, G, and B signals
are with 0.4mm width and are accompanied with
GND traces, respectively.
AZC199-04S is designed for protecting high
speed I/O ports from very high over-voltage
caused by Electrostatic Discharging (ESD). Thus,
a lot of kinds of high speed I/O ports can be the
applications of AZC199-04S, especially, the VGA
and DVI ports with the ESD spec. of
contact-15kV, Air-27kV, Class-C above.
The VGA Output Port
Fig. 4 shows the schematic of ESD protection
design for a VGA output port on a host system,
(e.g. the source, such as MB, NB, Media
player…), where two AZC199-04S are used. The
AZC199-04S has been integrated with back-drive
protection diode for preventing the back-drive
current to occur. Thus, no extra BAV70 for
preventing the back-drive current to occur is
needed.
The back-drive current occurs as shown in
Fig, 5. When the source stays at OFF state, at
the source connector, the VGA5V pin was
wished to be at zero potential. At this moment, if
without the integrated back-drive current
protection diode, the display device stays at ON
state, and the pulled high signals will produce a
current back drive to the source’s VGA5V power
