Device Connection Options for Protection of Two
High-Speed Data Lines
The SR12 TVS is designed to protect two data lines from
transient over-voltages by clamping them to a fixed
reference. When the voltage on the protected line
exceeds the reference voltage (plus diode V
diodes are forward biased, conducting the transient
current away from the sensitive circuitry.
Data lines are connected at pins 2 and 3. The nega-
tive reference (REF1) is connected at pin 1. This pin
should be connected directly to a ground plane on the
board for best results. The path length is kept as short
as possible to minimize parasitic inductance.
The positive reference (REF2) is connected at pin 4.
The options for connecting the positive reference are
as follows:
1. To protect data lines and the power line, connect
2. The SR12 can be isolated from the power supply by
3. In applications where no positive supply reference
ESD Protection With RailClamps
RailClamps are optimized for ESD protection using the
rail-to-rail topology. Along with good board layout,
these devices virtually eliminate the disadvantages of
using discrete components to implement this topology.
Consider the situation shown in Figure 1 where dis-
crete diodes or diode arrays are configured for rail-to-
rail protection on a high speed line. During positive
duration ESD events, the top diode will be forward
biased when the voltage on the protected line exceeds
the reference voltage plus the V
