Product Description
The CM1215 family of diode arrays has been designed
to provide ESD protection for electronic components or
sub-systems requiring minimal capacitive loading.
These devices are ideal for protecting systems with
high data and clock rates or for circuits requiring low
capacitive loading. Each ESD channel consists of a
pair of diodes in series which steer the positive or neg-
ative ESD current pulse to either the positive (VP) or
negative (VN) supply rail. The CM1215 will protect
against ESD pulses up to +15kV per the IEC 61000-4-2
standard.
This device is particularly well-suited for protecting sys-
tems using high-speed ports such as USB2.0,
IEEE1394 (Firewire®, iLink), Serial ATA, DVI, HDMI
and corresponding ports in removable storage, digital
camcorders, DVD-RW drives and other applications
where extremely low loading capacitance with ESD
protection are required in a small package footprint.
The CM1215 family of devices is available with
optional lead-free finishing.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Design Considerations
In order to realize the maximum protection against
ESD pulses, care must be taken in the PCB layout to
minimize parasitic series inductances on the Supply/
Ground rails as well as the signal trace segment
between the signal input (typically a connector) and the
ESD protection device. Refer to Figure 1, which illus-
trates an example of a positive ESD pulse striking an
input channel. The parasitic series inductance back to
the power supply is represented by L1 and L2. The
voltage VCL on the line being protected is:
VCL = Fwd voltage drop of D1 + VSUPPLY +
L1 x d(IESD) / dt+ L2 x d(IESD) / dt
where IESD is the ESD current pulse, and VSUPPLY
is the positive supply voltage.
An ESD current pulse can rise from zero to its peak
value in a very short time. As an example, a level 4
contact discharge per the IEC61000-4-2 standard
results in a current pulse that rises from zero to 30
Amps in 1ns. Here d(IESD)/dt can be approximated by
d(ESD)/dt, or 30/(1x10-9). So just 10nH of series induc-
tance (L1 and L2 combined) will lead to a 300V incre-
ment in VCL!
Similarly for negative ESD pulses, parasitic series
inductance from the VN pin to the ground rail will lead
to drastically increased negative voltage on the line
being protected.
As a general rule, the ESD Protection Array should be
located as close as possible to the point of entry of
expected electrostatic discharges. The power supply
bypass capacitor mentioned above should be as close
to the VP pin of the Protection Array as possible, with
minimum PCB trace lengths to the power supply,
ground planes and between the signal input and the
ESD device to minimize stray series inductance.
