CM1215
1, 2 and 4-Channel
Low Capacitance
ESD Arrays
Product Description
The CM1215 family of diode arrays provides ESD protection for
electronic components or subsystems requiring minimal capacitive
loading. These devices are 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 which steer the
positive or negative ESD current pulse to either the positive (VP) or
negative (VN) supply rail. The CM1215 protects against ESD pulses
up to ±15 kV per the IEC 6100042 standard.
This device is particularly wellsuited for protecting systems using
highspeed ports such as USB2.0, IEEE1394 (Firewire®, iLinkt),
Serial ATA, DVI, HDMI and corresponding ports in removable
storage, digital camcorders, DVDRW drives and other applications
where extremely low loading capacitance with ESD protection are
required in a small package footprint.

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 1, 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 L1 and L2. The voltage VCL on
the line being protected is:
VCL = Fwd voltage drop of D1 + VSUPPLY + L1 x d(IESD) / dt+ L2 x d(IESD) / dt
where IESD is the ESD current pulse, and VSUPPLY 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 IEC6100042 standard results in a current pulse that rises from zero to 30 Amps in 1ns. Here d(IESD)/dt can be
approximated by d(ESD)/dt, or 30/(1x109). So just 10 nH of series inductance (L1 and L2 combined) will lead to a 300 V
increment in VCL!
Similarly for negative ESD pulses, parasitic series inductance from the VN pin to the ground rail will lead to drastically
increased negative voltage on the line being protected.
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 VP 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.
