It is strongly recommended to route traces on the PCB from the ESD source to TVS without switching layers by VIA. Figure 2-3 shows three cases of routing with VIAs.
If VIA is required between the ESD source and the protected IC, Case 1 is the preferred method, Case 2 should be avoided, and Case 3 is acceptable if there is no alternative. In Case 1, IESD is forced to the TVS protection pin before passing through VIA to the protected IC. The VIA correlates to L4 in Figure 2-1. In Case 2, IESD branches between the protected IC and VIA to the TVS protection pin. The VIA correlates to L2 in Figure 2-1. This practice should be avoided as the protected IC can take the brunt of the current during an ESD event. In Case 3, IESD is forced to the protection pin of the TVS before passing to the protected IC. Use these 2 tips when routing with VIAs:
