JTAG Interface Surge ESD Protection Scheme

JTAG Interface Surge ESD Protection Scheme

The JTAG interface is a type of interface used for downloading programs, and it is also frequently connected and disconnected while powered. It is well-known that hot-plugging can inevitably generate some surges or ESD (Electrostatic Discharge). Therefore, if protective measures are not taken, it is easy for surge ESD to break down the JTAG-related pins, potentially damaging the internal core components of the CPU, leading to permanent damage to the internal circuitry. To address the surge ESD issues of the JTAG interface, Dongwo Electronics has designed a protection scheme diagram and recommended corresponding protective components.

From the scheme diagram, it can be seen that Dongwo Electronics recommends using four ESD diodes DW03DPF-B-S to protect its interface. The Dongwo DW03DPF-B-S5 works at a voltage of 3.3V, with a clamping voltage of 9.4V, low leakage current of 0.5uA, and junction capacitance as low as 60pF. According to IEC 61000-4-2, it can provide ESD protection of up to ±30kV (air discharge) / ±30kV (contact discharge); according to IEC 61000-4-5, it can withstand a peak pulse current of 30A (8/20us) and a peak pulse power of 330W (8/20us), providing reliable static and surge protection for interface chips. The Dongwo DW03DPF-B-S is bidirectional and uses a DFN1006-2L small package, making PCB layout convenient.

From the scheme diagram, it can be seen that Dongwo Electronics uses a clamping diode to protect the signal interface. The diode selected is the Schottky diode BAT54S, which has a reverse breakdown voltage of 30V, forward current of 0.2A, and a leakage current as low as 2uA. Under the chip’s 3.3V operating voltage, it can clamp the signal level to around ±4.1V, thus better protecting the interface chip from the effects of static electricity or surges.
