ESD protection of SAW filters
B3712
312.20 MHz
SAW filters are
Electro Static Discharge
sensitive devices. To reduce the probability of damages
caused by ESD, special matching topologies have to be applied.
In general, “ESD matching” has to be ensured at that filter port, where electrostatic discharge is
expected.
Electrostatic discharges predominantly appear at the antenna input of RF receivers. Therefore
only the input matching of the SAW filter has to be designed to short circuit or to block the ESD
pulse.
Below three figures show recommended “ESD matching” topologies.
For wideband filters the high-pass ESD matching structure needs to be at least of 3
rd
order to
ensure a proper matching for any impedance value of antenna and SAW filter input. The required
component values have to be determined from case to case.

In all three figures the shunt inductor Lp2 could be replaced by a shorted microstrip with proper
length and width. If this configuration is possible depends on the operating frequency and
available pcb space.
Effectiveness of the applied ESD protection has to be checked according to relevant industry
standards or customer specific requirements
