4.6 Board-Level Verification

The IEC protection design designed using SEED methodology was implemented on a test board to verify the simulation results. Figure 4-5 shows the board layout of the test board with the standard TVS component (bidirectional ESD protection diode) and an MSP430 device. Four TVS devices are connected via decoupling resistors to four MSP430 I/O interface pins. The TVS components are placed close to the ESD stress points of the board. Decoupling resistors of approximately 18 Ω are added between each TVS device and the corresponding MSP430 IC pin being tested.

Note:

The test board layout includes footprints for capacitors that are in parallel with the respective TVS components. These capacitors are useful to limit the voltage caused by the initial fast transient current spike of the IEC pulse. These capacitors were however not populated during verification testing in this case.

The system-level ESD tests applied ESD strikes (direct contact discharge) at the pins on pin headers JP13 and JP15 to which the TVS devices are connected. The summary of the test verification results (tested on three test boards) is:

  • No device latch-up observed for up to ±8-kV IEC pulses
  • No device reset observed for up to ±2 kV.
