SP720AP

SP720
The SP720 is an array of SCR/Diode bipolar structures for ESD and
over-voltage protection to sensitive input circuits. The SP720 has 2
protection SCR/Diode device structures per input. A total of 14 available
inputs can be used to protect up to 14 external signal or bus lines.
Over-voltage protection is from the IN (pins 1-7 and 9-15) to V+ or V-.
The SCR structures are designed for fast triggering at a threshold of one
+V
BE
diode threshold above V+ (Pin 16) or a -V
BE
diode threshold
below V- (Pin 8). From an IN input, a clamp to V+ is activated if a tran-
sient pulse causes the input to be increased to a voltage level greater
than one V
BE
above V+. A similar clamp to V- is activated if a negative
pulse, one V
BE
less than V-, is applied to an IN input. Standard ESD

ESD Capability
ESD capability is dependent on the application and defined test
standard. The evaluation results for various test standards and methods
based on Figure 1 are shown in Table 1.
For the “Modified” MIL-STD-3015.7 condition that is defined as an
“in-circuit”
method of ESD testing, the
V+ and V- pins have a return path
to ground and the SP720 ESD capability is typically greater than 15kV
from 100pF through 1.5k. By strict definition of MIL-STD-3015.7 using
“pin-to-pin”
de
vice testing, the ESD v
oltage capability is g
reater than 6kV
.
The MIL-STD-3015.7 results were determined from AT&T ESD Test
Lab measurements.
The HBM capability to the IEC 61000-4-2 standard is greater than 15kV
for air discharge (Level 4) and greater than 4kV for direct discharge
(Level 2). Dual pin capability (2 adjacent pins in parallel) is well in excess
of 8kV (Level 4).
For ESD testing of the SP720 to EIAJ IC121 Machine Model (MM) standard,
the results are typically better than 1kV from 200pF with no series resistance.
