SLVU2.8-4 EPD TVS Diode Array For ESD and Latch-Up Protection PRELIMINARY 

## PROTECTION PRODUCTS 

## Description 

The SLV series of transient voltage suppressors are designed to protect low voltage, state-of-the-art CMOS semiconductors from transients caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD), cable discharge events (CDE), lightning and other induced voltage surges. 

The devices are constructed using  Semtech’s proprietary EPD process technology. The EPD process provides low standoff voltages with significant reductions in leakage currents and capacitance over siliconavalanche diode processes.  The SLVU2.8-4 features integrated low capacitance compensation diodes that reduce the typical capacitance to 5pF per line.  This, combined with low leakage current,  means signal integrity is preserved in high-speed applications such as 10/100 Ethernet. 

The SLVU2.8-4 is in an SO-8 package and may be used to protect two high-speed line pairs.  The “flow-thru” design minimizes trace inductance and reduces voltage overshoot associated with ESD events.  The low clamping voltage of the SLVU2.8-4 minimizes the stress on the protected IC. 

The SLV series TVS diodes will meet the surge requirements of IEC 61000-4-2, Level 4.

## PROTECTION PRODUCTS 

## Applications Information 

## Device Connection for Protection of Four Data Lines 

Electronic equipment is susceptible to transient disturbances from a variety of sources including: ESD to an open connector or interface, direct or nearby lightning strikes to cables and wires, and charged cables “hot plugged” into I/O ports.  The SLVU2.8-4 is designed to protect sensitive components from damage and latchup which may result from such transient events.  The SLVU2.8-4 can be configured to protect  two highspeed line pairs.  The device is connected as follows: 

1. Protection of two high-speed line pairs: The SLVU2.8-4 is designed such that the data lines are routed through the device.  The first line pair enters at pins 1 and 2 and exit at pins 8 and 7 respectively.  The second line pair enters at pins 3 and 4 and exits at pins 6 and 5.  The traces must be connected at the bottom of the device as shown. 

## Circuit Board Layout Recommendations for Suppression of ESD. 

Good circuit board layout is critical for the suppression of ESD induced transients.  The following guidelines are recommended: 

- Place the SLVU2.8-4 near the input terminals or connectors to restrict transient coupling.

- Minimize the path length between the TVS and the protected line. 

- Minimize all conductive loops including power and ground loops. 

- The ESD transient return path to ground should be kept as short as possible. 

- Never run critical signals near board edges. 

- Use ground planes whenever possible.

## PROTECTION PRODUCTS 

## Applications Information _(continued)_ 

## EPD TVS Characteristics 

The SLVU2.8-4 is constructed using Semtech’s proprietary EPD technology.  The structure of the EPD TVS is vastly different from the traditional pn-junction devices. At voltages below 5V, high leakage current and junction capacitance render conventional avalanche technology impractical for most applications.  However, by utilizing the EPD technology, the SLVU2.8-4 can effectively operate at 2.8V while maintaining excellent electrical characteristics. 

The EPD TVS employs a complex nppn structure in contrast to the pn structure normally found in traditional silicon-avalanche TVS diodes.  The EPD mechanism is achieved by engineering the center region of the device such that the reverse biased junction does not avalanche, but will “punch-through”  to a conducting state.  This structure results in a device with superior dc electrical parameters at low voltages while maintaining the capability to absorb high transient currents.

I PP<br>ISB<br>IPT<br>VBRR IR<br>VRWM VSB VPT [V] C<br>IBRR<br>EPD TVS IV Characteristic Curve<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


The IV characteristic curve of the EPD device is shown in Figure 1.  The device represents a high impedance to the circuit up to the working voltage (VRWM).  During a transient event, the device will begin to conduct as it is biased in the reverse direction.  When the punchthrough voltage (VPT) is exceeded, the device enters a low impedance state, diverting the transient current away from the protected circuit.  When the device is conducting current, it will exhibit a slight “snap-back” or negative resistance characteristic due to its structure. This must be considered when connecting the device to a power supply rail.  To return to a non-conducting state, the current through the device must fall below the snap-back current (approximately < 50mA).
