Electrical overstress (EOS) protection

EOS protection during overstress event Figure 57 EOS protection during overstress event

Method for selecting EOS protection

  1. Choose a unidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diode that has a reverse standoff equal to the normal operating supply voltage. For example, reverse standoff of VR = 5V, for an amplifier with a 5V supply. This assures a low TVS diode leakage.
  2. Try to find a TVS diode that also breaks down below the absolute maximum rating for the device that is being protected. For example, breakdown of VBR ≤ 6V for an absolute maximum of 6V. Note that this may not always be possible. Choose the lowest breakdown available.
  3. Choose a series resistor, Rs, to limit the current to the absolute maximum input current. This is commonly 10mA for many devices. Rs >(Voverstress – 0.7V – VBR). For this example, Rs = (15V – 0.7V – 6V) = 830Ω.
  4. Increase the value of the series resistor for more design margin.
Typical unidirectional TVS I-V curve Figure 58 Typical unidirectional TVS I-V curve

Where

VBR = breakdown voltage

VR = stand-off voltage. The normal operating voltage with a guaranteed reverse leakage current.

VC = clamping voltage. The voltage across the TVS when maximum current is flowing.

VF = forward voltage drop, typically 0.7V for a unipolar TVS diode

IBR = breakdown current @ VBR

IR = reverse leakage @ VR. Typically in the microamps.

IF = forward current @ VF

IPP = maximum peak pulse current @ VC, applied for a limited time (microseconds)
