Product Description
The PACVGA201 provides seven channels of ESD pro-
tection for all signal lines commonly found in a VGA
port. ESD protection is implemented with current-steer-
ing diodes designed to safely handle the high surge
currents encountered with IEC-61000-4-2 Level-4 ESD
Protection (8kV contact discharge). When a channel is
subjected to an electrostatic discharge, the ESD cur-
rent pulse is diverted via the protection diodes into the
positive supply rail or ground where it may be safely
dissipated.
Separate positive supply rails are provided for the
VIDEO, DDC_OUT and SYNC channels to facilitate
interfacing with low-voltage video controller ICs and to
provide design flexibility in multiple-supply-voltage
environments.
An internal diode (D
1
, in schematic below) is provided
such that V
CC2
is derived from V
CC3
(V
CC2
does not
require an external power supply input). In applications
where V
CC3
may be powered down, diode D
1
blocks
any DC current path from the DDC_OUT pins back to
the powered down V
CC3
rail via the upper ESD protec-
tion diodes. (cont’d

PACVGA201
Product Description (cont’d)
Two non-inverting drivers provide buffering for the
HSYNC and VSYNC signals from the Video Controller
IC (SYNC_IN1, SYNC_IN2). These buffers accept TTL
input levels and convert them to CMOS output levels
that swing between Ground and V
CC3
.
When the PWR_UP input is driven LOW, the SYNC
outputs are driven LOW and the SYNC inputs can float:
no current will be drawn from the VCC3 supply.
The PACVGA201 is housed in a 16-pin QSOP package
with RoHS compliant lead-free finishing.

All parameters specified over standard operating conditions unless otherwise noted.
These parameters apply only to SYNC_IN1, SYNC_IN2 and PWR_UP.
These parameters apply only to SYNC_OUT1 and SYNC_OUT2.
Per the IEC-61000-4-2 International ESD Standard, Level 4 contact discharge method. V
CC1
, V
CC2
and V
CC3
must be
bypassed to GND via a low impedance ground plane with a 0.2uF or greater, low inductance, chip ceramic capacitor at each
supply pin. ESD pulse is applied between the applicable pins and GND. ESD pulse can be positive or negative with respect
to GND. Applicable pins are: VIDEO_1, VIDEO_2, VIDEO_3, SYNC_OUT1, SD1, SYNC_OUT2, SD2, DDC_OUT1 and
DDC_OUT2. All other pins are ESD protected to the industry standard 2kV per the Human Body model (MIL-STD-883,
Method 3015).
Note 5: This parameter is guaranteed by design and characterization.

Figure 1. Typical Connection Diagram
A resistor may be necessary between the V
CC2
pin and ground if protection against a stream of ESD pulses is
required while the PACVGA201 is in the power-down state. The value of this resistor should be chosen such that
the extra charge deposited into the V
CC2
bypass capacitor by each ESD pulse will be discharged before the next
ESD pulse occurs. The maximum ESD repetition rate specified by the IEC-61000-4-2 standard is one pulse per
second. When the PACVGA201 is in the power-up state, an internal discharge resistor is connected to ground via
a FET switch for this purpose.
For the same reason, V
CC1
and V
CC3
may also require bypass capacitor discharging resistors to ground if there
are no other components in the system to provide a discharge path to ground.
