PACDN006
6-Channel ESD Protection
Array
Product Description
The PACDN006 is a diode array designed to provide six channels of
ESD protection for electronic components or subsystems. Each
channel consists of a pair of diodes that steer an ESD current pulse to
either the positive (V
P
) or negative (V
N
) supply. The PACDN006
protects against ESD pulses up to:

8
kV contact discharge, per International Standard
IEC 61000−4−2
15
kV per Human Body Model MIL−STD−883, Method 3015
(based on a 100 pF capacitor discharging through a 1.5 kW
resistor)
This device is particularly well−suited for portable electronics
(e.g., cellular phones, PDAs, notebook computers) because of its
small package footprint, high ESD protection level, and low loading
capacitance. It is also suitable for protecting video output lines and I/O
ports in computers and peripherals and is ideal for a wide range of
consumer electronics products.
The PACDN006 is available with RoHS compliant lead−free
finishing.

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 2, 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:

L

)
dt
)
L
2
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.
Another consideration is the output impedance of the power supply for fast transient currents. Most power supplies exhibit
a much higher output impedance to fast transient current spikes. In the V
CL
equation above, the V
SUPPLY
term, in reality, is
given by (V
DC
+ I
ESD
x R
OUT
), where V
DC
and R
OUT
are the nominal supply DC output voltage and effective output impedance
of the power supply respectively. As an example, a R
OUT
of 1
W
would result in a 10 V increment in V
CL
for a peak I
ESD
of
10 A.
If the inductances and resistance described above are close to zero, the rail−clamp ESD protection diodes will do a good job
of protection. However, since this is not possible in practical situations, a bypass capacitor must be used to absorb the very high
frequency ESD energy. So for any brand of rail−clamp ESD protection diodes, a bypass capacitor should be connected between
the V
P
pin of the diodes and the ground plane (V
N
pin of the diodes) as shown in the Application Circuit diagram below. A value
of 0.22
mF
is adequate for IEC−61000−4−2 level 4 contact discharge protection (8 kV). Ceramic chip capacitors mounted with
short printed circuit board traces are good choices for this application. Electrolytic capacitors should be avoided as they have
poor high frequency characteristics. For extra protection, connect a zener diode in parallel with the bypass capacitor to mitigate
http://onsemi.com

PACDN006
the effects of the parasitic series inductance inherent in the capacitor. The breakdown voltage of the zener diode should be
slightly higher than the maximum supply voltage.
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.
