AZ1515-04S
Low Capacitance ESD Protection Array
For High Speed Data Interfaces
Applications Information
A. Design Considerations
The ESD protection scheme for the system
I/O connector is shown in the Fig. 1. In Fig. 1, the
diodes D1 and D2 are generally used to protect
data line from ESD stress pulse. 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 the data
line can be described as follow :
VCL = Fwd voltage drop of D1 + 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
zero to 30A in 1ns. Here d(IESD1)/dt can be
approximated by ∆IESD1/∆t, or 30/(1x10-9). So
Fig. 1
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 AZ1515-04S 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.

AZ1515-04S
Low Capacitance ESD Protection Array
For High Speed Data Interfaces
B. Device Connection
The AZ1515-04S is designed to protect four
data lines and power rails from transient
over-voltage (such as ESD stress pulse). The
device connection of AZ1515-04S 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 AZ1515-04S. The ground pin
(pin2) of AZ1515-04S 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 AZ1515-04S 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 AZ1515-04S.
AZ1515-04S 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 AZ1515-04S.
In some cases, there isn’t power rail
presented on the PCB. Under this situation, the
power pin (pin 5) of AZ1515-04S can be left as
floated. The protection will not be affected, only
the load capacitance of I/O pins will be slightly
increased. Fig. 3 shows the detail connection.
Fig. 2 Data lines and power rails connection of AZ1515-04S.
Fig. 3 Data lines and power rails connection of AZ1515-04S. VDD pin is left as floating when no
power rail presented on the PCB.
