TPD2E001 is a diode array type Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) which is typically used to provide a path to ground for dissipating ESD events on hi-speed signal lines between a human interface connector and a system. As the current from ESD passes through the TVS, only a small voltage drop is present across the diode. This is the voltage presented to the protected IC. The low RDYN of the triggered TVS holds this voltage, VCLAMP, to a tolerable level to the protected IC.
For this design example, a single TPD2E001 is used to protect all pins of a USB 2.0 connector.
Given the USB application, Table 1 shows the Design Parameters:
DESIGN PARAMETER | VALUE |
---|---|
Signal range on IO1, and IO2 | 0 V to 5 V |
Signal voltage range on VCC | 0 V to 5 V |
Operating frequency | 240 MHz |
To begin the design process, some parameters must be decided upon; the designer needs to know the following:
The VCC pin can be connected in two different ways:
The TPD2E001 has 2 IO pins which support 0 to either 10 V or VCC + Vforward (depending on if the VCC pin is connected to a VCC line or has a 0.1 µF capacitor to ground).
