CM1293A-04SO
4-Channel
Low Capacitance
ESD Protection Array
Product Description
CM1293A−04SO has been designed to provide ESD protection for
electronic components or subsystems requiring minimal capacitive
loading. This device is 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 that steer the positive or
negative ESD current pulse to either the positive (V
P
) or negative (V
N
)
supply rail. A Zener diode is embedded between V
P
and V
N
which
helps protect the V
CC
rail against ESD strikes. This device protects
against ESD pulses up to
8
kV contact discharge) per the
IEC 61000−4−2 Level 4 standard.
This device is particularly well−suited for protecting systems using
high−speed ports such as USB2.0, IEEE1394 (FireWire
, i.LINKt),
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.

**Standard test condition is IEC61000−4−2 level 4 test circuit with each pin
subjected to
8
kV contact discharge for 1000 pulses. Discharges are timed at
1 second intervals and all 1000 strikes are completed in one continuous test run.
The part is then subjected to standard production test to verify that all of the

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 5, which illustrates an example of a positive ESD pulse striking an
input channel. The parasitic series inductance back to the power supply is represented by L
1
and L
2
. The voltage V
CL
on the
line being protected is:
V
CL
= Fwd voltage drop of D
1
+ V
SUPPLY
+ L
1
x d(I
ESD
) / dt+ L
2
x d(I
ESD
) / dt
where I
ESD
is the ESD current pulse, and V
SUPPLY
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 1 ns. Here d(I
ESD
)/dt can be
approximated by
DI
ESD
/Dt, or 30/(1x10
−9
). So just 10 nH of series inductance (L
1
and L
2
combined) will lead to a 300 V
increment in V
CL
!
Similarly for negative ESD pulses, parasitic series inductance from the V
N
pin to the ground rail will lead to drastically
increased negative voltage on the line being protected.
The CM1293 has an integrated Zener diode between V
P
and V
N
. This greatly reduces the effect of supply rail inductance
L
2
on V
CL
by clamping V
P
at the breakdown voltage of the Zener diode. However, for the lowest possible V
CL
, especially when
V
P
is biased at a voltage significantly below the Zener breakdown voltage, it is recommended that a 0.22
F
ceramic chip
capacitor be connected between V
P
and the ground plane.
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 V
P
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.
