3.3 How to ensure good ESD protection
While the DVIULC6-4SC6 provides a high immunity to ESD surge, an efficient protection
depends on the layout of the board. In the same way, with the rail to rail topology, the track
from V
BUS
pin to the power supply +V
CC
, and from V
BUS
pin to GND pin must be as short as
possible to avoid over voltages due to parasitic phenomena (see Figure 11 and Figure 12 for
layout considerations).

Figure 13. PCB layout considerations (V
CC
connection is application dependent)
It’s often harder to connect the power supply near to the DVIULC6-4SC6 unlike the ground
thanks to the ground plane that allows a short connection.
To ensure the same efficiency for positive surges when the connections can’t be short
enough, we recommend putting close to the DVIULC6-4SC6, between V
BUS
and ground, a
capacitance of 100 nF to prevent these kinds of disturbances (see Figure 12 and Figure 13).
The addition of this capacitance will allow a better protection by providing a constant voltage
during a surge.
Figure 14, Figure 6, and Figure 7 show the improvement of the ESD protection according to
the recommendations described in Section 3.3.

Important:
An important precaution to take is to put the protection device as close as possible to the
disturbance source (generally the connector).

3.4 Crosstalk behavior
Figure 15. Crosstalk phenomena
The crosstalk phenomena is due to the coupling between 2 lines. The coupling factor (
12
or
21
) increases when the gap across lines decreases, particularly in silicon dice. In the
example above the expected signal on load R
L2
is
2
V
G2
, in fact the real voltage at this point
has got an extra value
21
V
G1
. This part of the V
G1
signal represents the effect of the
crosstalk phenomenon of line 1 on line 2. This phenomenon has to be taken into account
when the drivers impose fast digital data or high frequency analog signals in the disturbing
line. The perturbed line will be more affected if it works with low voltage signal or high load
impedance (few k).
Figure 16. Analog crosstalk measurements
Figure 16 gives the measurement circuit for the analog application. In usual frequency range
of analog signals (up to 240 MHz) the effect on disturbed line is less than -45 dB (see
Figure 8).
As the DVIULC6-4SC6 is designed to protect high speed data lines, it must ensure a good
transmission of operating signals. The frequency response (Figure 5) gives attenuation
information and shows that the DVIULC6-4SC6 is well suitable for data line transmission up
to 1.65 Gb/s.
