TECHNICAL INFORMATION
FREQUENCY BEHAVIOR
The EMIF01-10005W5 is firstly designed as an EMI/RFI filter. This low-pass filter is characterized by the following
parameters:
- Cut-off frequency
- Insertion loss
- High frequency rejection

ESD PROTECTION
In addition to its filtering function, the EMIF01-10005W5 is particularly optimized to perform ESD protection.
ESD protection is based on the use of device which clamps at :

PP
This protection function is splitted in 2 stages. As shown in figure A3, the ESD strikes are clamped by the first stage S1 and
then its remaining overvoltage is applied to the second stage through the resistor R. Such a configuration makes the output
voltage very low at the Vout level.

Device to be protected
To have a good approximation of the remaining voltages at both Vin and Vout stages, we provide the typical dynamical
resistance value Rd. By taking into account these following hypothesis : R>>Rd, R
G
>>Rd and Rload>>Rd, it gives these
formulas:
Vin

The results of the calculation done for V

=8kV, R
G
=330Ω (IEC1000-4-2 standard) and V
BR
=7V (typ.) give:
Vin = 31.2 V
Vout = 7.3 V
This confirms the very low remaining voltage across the device to be protected. It is also important to note that in this
approximation the parasitic inductance effect was not taken into account. This could be few tenths of volts during few ns at
the Vin side. This parasitic effect is not present at the Vout side due the low current involved after the resistance R.

The measurements shown here after illustrate very clearly (Fig. A5a) the high efficiency of the ESD protection :
- no influence of the parasitic inductances on Vout stage
- Vout clamping voltage very close to V
BR
Fig A5 :
Remaining voltage at both stages S1 (Vin) and S2 (Vout) during ESD surge
a) Positive surge
b) Negative surge
Please note that the EMIF01-10005W5 is not only acting
for positive ESD surges but also for negative ones. For
these kind of disturbances it clamps close to ground
voltage as shown in Fig. A5b.
NOTE: DYNAMIC RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT
As the value of the dynamic resistance remains stable for
a surge duration lower than 20µs, the 2.5µs rectangular
surge is well adapted. In addition both rise and fall times
are optimized to avoid any parasitic phenomenon during
the measurement of Rd.
