2-/4-/6-/8-Channel, ±30kV ESD Protectors in µDFN
General Description
The MAX13202E/MAX13204E/MAX13206E/MAX13208E
low-capacitance ±30kV ESD-protection diode arrays
are designed to protect sensitive electronics attached
to communication lines. Each channel consists of a pair
of diodes that steer ESD current pulses to V
CC
or GND.
The MAX13202E/MAX13204E/MAX13206E/MAX13208E
protect against ESD pulses up to ±15kV Human Body
Model (HBM) and ±30kV Air-Gap Discharge, as speci-
fied in IEC 61000-4-2. These devices have a 6pF on-
capacitance per channel, making them ideal for use on
high-speed data I/O interfaces.
The MAX13204E is a quad-ESD structure designed for
Ethernet and FireWire
®
applications. The MAX13202E/
MAX13206E/MAX13208E are 2-channel, 6-channel,
and 8-channel devices. They are designed for cell-
phone connectors and SVGA video connections.
These devices are available in 6-, 8-, and 10-pin µDFN
packages and are specified over the -40°C to +125°C
automotive operating temperature range.

MAX13202E/MAX13204E/MAX13206E/MAX13208E
Detailed Description
The MAX13202E/MAX13204E/MAX13206E/MAX13208E
are diode arrays designed to protect sensitive electron-
ics against damage resulting from ESD conditions or
transient voltages. The low input capacitance makes
these devices ideal for high-speed data lines. The
MAX13202E/MAX13204E/MAX13206E/MAX13208E
protect two, four, six, and eight channels, respectively.
The MAX13202E/MAX13204E/MAX13206E/MAX13208E
are designed to work in conjunction with a device’s
intrinsic ESD protection. The MAX13202E/MAX13204E/
MAX13206E/MAX13208E limit the excursion of the ESD
event to below ±25V peak voltage when subjected to the
Human Body Model waveform. When subjected to the
IEC 61000-4-2 waveform, the peak voltage is limited to
±80V (Contact Discharge) and ±120V (Air-Gap
Discharge). The device that is being protected by the
MAX13202E/MAX13204E/ MAX13206E/MAX13208E
must be able to withstand these peak voltages plus any
additional voltage generated by the parasitic board.

Applications Information
Design Considerations
Maximum protection against ESD damage results from
proper board layout (see the
Layout Recommendations
section and Figure 2). A good layout reduces the para-
sitic series inductance on the ground line, supply line,
and protected signal lines.
The MAX13202E/MAX13204E/MAX13206E/MAX13208E
ESD diodes clamp the voltage on the protected lines
during an ESD event and shunt the current to GND or
V
CC
. In an ideal circuit, the clamping voltage, V
C
, is
defined as the forward voltage drop, V
F
, of the protection
diode plus any supply voltage present on the cathode.
For positive ESD pulses:

C

For negative ESD pulses:

In reality, the effect of the parasitic series inductance
on the lines must also be considered (Figure 1).

_______________________________________________________________________________________
2-/4-/6-/8-Channel, ±30kV ESD Protectors in µDFN
During an ESD event, the current pulse rises from zero
to peak value in nanoseconds (Figure 3). For example,
in a ±15kV IEC-61000-4-2 Air-Gap Discharge ESD
event, the pulse current rises to approximately 45A in
1ns (di/dt = 45 x 10
9
). An inductance of only 10nH adds
an additional 450V to the clamp voltage. An inductance
of 10nH represents approximately 0.5in of board trace.
Regardless of the device’s specified diode clamp volt-
age, a poor layout with parasitic inductance significantly
increases the effective clamp voltage at the protected
signal line.
A low-ESR 0.1µF capacitor must be used between V
CC
and GND. This bypass capacitor absorbs the charge
transferred by a +14kV (MAX13204E/MAX13206E/
MAX13208E) and ±12kV (MAX13202E) IEC61000-4-2
Contact Discharge ESD event.
Ideally, the supply rail (V
CC
) would absorb the charge
caused by a positive ESD strike without changing its
regulated value. In reality, all power supplies have an
effective output impedance on their positive rails. If a
power supply’s effective output impedance is 1Ω, then
by using V = I
×
R, the clamping voltage of V
C
increas-
es by the equation V
C
= I
ESD
x R
OUT
. An ±8kV
IEC 61000-4-2 ESD event generates a current spike of
24A, so the clamping voltage increases by V
C
= 24A
×
1Ω, or V
C
= 24V. Again, a poor layout without proper
bypassing increases the clamping voltage. A ceramic
chip capacitor mounted as close to the MAX13202E/
MAX13204E/MAX13206E/MAX13208E V
CC
pin is the
best choice for this application. A bypass capacitor
should also be placed as close to the protected device
as possible.
±30kV ESD Protection
ESD protection can be tested in various ways. The
MAX13202E/MAX13204E/MAX13206E/MAX13208E are
characterized for protection to the following limits:
• ±15kV using the Human Body Model
• ±14kV (MAX13204E/MAX13206E/MAX13208E) and
±12kV (MAX13202E) using the Contact Discharge
method specified in IEC 61000-4-2
• ±30kV using the IEC 61000-4-2 Air-Gap Discharge
method
ESD Test Conditions
ESD performance depends on a number of conditions.
