ESD Protection
The MAX9209/MAX9213 ESD tolerance is rated for IEC
61000-4-2, Human Body Model and ISO 10605 stan-
dards. IEC 61000-4-2 and ISO 10605 specify ESD toler-
ance for electronic systems. The IEC 61000-4-2
discharge components are C
S
= 150pF and R
D
= 330Ω
(Figure 16). For IEC 61000-4-2, the LVDS outputs are
rated for ±8kV contact and ±15kV air discharge. The
Human Body Model discharge components are C
S
=
100pF and R
D
= 1.5kΩ (Figure 17). For the Human Body
Model, all pins are rated for ±2kV contact discharge. The
ISO 10605 discharge components are C
S
= 330pF and
R
D
= 2kΩ (Figure 18). For ISO 10605, the LVDS outputs
are rated for ±8kV contact and ±25kV air discharge.
