ESD protection of SAW filters
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.

order high-pass structure for basic ESD protection
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.
For further information, please refer to EPCOS Application report:“ESD protection for SAW filters”.
