With the development trend of high intensification and ultra-high data rate of electronic products, when functionality is continuously realized and improved, its maximum stability and reliability will inevitably be considered. Multi-function, high speed and stability, reliability and security are a contradiction. Discuss the electrostatic protection devices currently used on high-speed data interface lines!

PCB design requirements
There should be no residual ends in signal lines.
Do not reduce the effective area of ground copper platinum in order to save costs.
In order to shorten the length of the signal line, use as many vias as possible for the ground line.
Install the protective TVS tube, install the device copper platinum position on the signal line as much as possible, and keep the TVS as close as possible to the input terminal.
Simple signal line protection design example:
Case: Single HDMI TMDS channel
As can be seen from the above figure, the 100Ohm differential high-speed transmission line can be regarded as basically unchanged with the addition of protection devices and without the protection device!
TDR measurement rise time requirements
The maximum rise time of TDR measurement specified by the HDMI 1.3a standard is 200 ps. Relevant institutions have measured the TDR with the addition of ESDLC5V0D9U. The results are as follows:
* As can be seen from the above figure, after inputting 1 pulse, the rise time of the protection device is increased to 180ps (rising to 90% and falling to 10%). Since the TDR measurement of the impedance allowed by the HDMI specification is an upper limit of 200 ps The ratio is 25%, that is, 250ps, which meets the HDMI 1.3a standard requirements, so there is no need to compensate for the influence of ESDLC5V0D9U from the layout when designing the PCB.
PCB design compensation discussion
When there are requirements for ultra-low capacitance or ultra-high frequency on the transmission line, such as: 3.0GBd and 4.0GBd of the HDMI 1.3a standard (referring to 1 HDMI TMDS connection for 3 channels), then we can perform very Perfect compensation.
Note: Z1 can calculate the wire impedance value based on the conductor conductivity.
Cd refers to the capacitance of the protection device.
L length is usually calculated as a compensation length of 2~3mm.
