[PDF] PCB Layout for TVS Diodes

ESD selection guides are available in. Technical Documents at www.ti.com/esd for guidance in choosing the correct type of TVS diode for a particular system.

Guidelines for PCB layout​​ Minimize the parasitic inductance due to the PCB wiring (trace). 2. Place the TVS diode close to the ESD entry source. 3.

The design and layout guidelines provided in this section are intended as a baseline guide for whole-chip ESD design and implementation.

Here are some ESD protection circuit design options you can use in your next PCB and some PCB layout best practices for your new product.

Designing in EMI and ESD protection at the beginning of the project saves time and money, as shown in Figure 1. This is a simple concept, but often surge ...

Provide the IC with efficient discharging paths to bypass any ESD stress while the IC is in the ESD-stress conditions. Pass the normal I/O signals and keep ...

The best way to minimize these issues is to place transient voltage suppressors (TVS) from ST, where the surges can appear; but some care must ...

ESD selection guides are available in Technical Documents at www.ti.com/esd for guidance in choosing the correct type of TVS diode for a particular system. With ...

The first section helps define the key parameters for ESD devices. The second section offers tips for printed circuit board (PCB) layout designs.
