ESD Protection
The MAX9257/MAX9258 ESD tolerance is rated for
Human Body Model, Machine Model, IEC 61000-4-2
and ISO 10605. The ISO 10605 and IEC 61000-4-2
standards specify ESD tolerance for electronic sys-
tems. LVDS outputs on the MAX9257 and LVDS inputs
on the MAX9258 meet ISO 10605 ESD protection and
IEC 61000-4-2 ESD protection. All other pins meet the
Human Body Model and Machine Model ESD toler-
ances. The Human Body Model discharge components
are C
S
= 100pF and R
D
= 1.5kΩ (Figure 33). The IEC
61000-4-2 discharge components are C
S
= 150pF and
R
D
= 330Ω (Figure 32). The ISO 10605 discharge com-
ponents are C
S
= 330pF and R
D
= 2kΩ (Figure 34). The
Machine Model discharge components are C
S
= 200pF
and R
D
= 0Ω (Figure 35).
