PUSB3FA1
ESD protection for ultra high-speed interfaces
9. Application information
The device is designed to provide high-level ESD protection for high-speed serial data buses such
as HDMI, DisplayPort, eSATA and LVDS data lines.
Note: When designing the PCB, give careful consideration to impedance matching and
signal coupling. Do not connect the signal lines to unlimited current sources like, for
example, a battery.
Dynamic resistance
The device uses an advanced clamping structure showing a negative dynamic resistance.
This snap-back behavior strongly reduces the clamping voltage to the system behind the ESD
protection during an ESD event. Do not connect unlimited DC current sources to the data lines to
avoid keeping the ESD protection device in snap-back state after exceeding breakdown voltage
(due to an ESD pulse for instance).
