9.1.1.1 ESD Protection

TI TRS3243E devices have standard ESD protection structures incorporated on the pins to protect against electrostatic discharges encountered during assembly and handling. In addition, the RS232 bus pins (driver outputs and receiver inputs) of these devices have an extra level of ESD protection. Advanced ESD structures were designed to successfully protect these bus pins against ESD discharge of ±15-kV in all states: normal operation, shutdown, and powered down. The TRS3243E devices are designed to continue functioning properly after an ESD occurrence without any latchup.

The TRS3243E devices have three specified ESD limits on the driver outputs and receiver inputs, with respect to GND:

  • ±15-kV Human-Body Model (HBM)
  • ±15-kV IEC61000-4-2, Air-Gap Discharge (formerly IEC1000-4-2)
  • ±8-kV IEC61000-4-2, Contact Discharge
