Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link with Spread
Spectrum and Full-Duplex Control Channel
MAX9259/MAX9260
ATE. Keep PCB traces that make up a differential pair
equal in length to avoid skew within the differential pair.
ESD Protection
The MAX9259/MAX9260 ESD tolerance is rated for
Human Body Model, IEC 61000-4-2, and ISO 10605. The
ISO 10605 and IEC 61000-4-2 standards specify ESD
tolerance for electronic systems. Serial outputs on the
MAX9259 and serial inputs on the MAX9260 meet ISO
10605 ESD protection and IEC 61000-4-2 ESD protec-
tion. All other pins meet the Human Body Model ESD
tolerances. The Human Body Model discharge compo-
nents are C
S
= 100pF and R
D
= 1.5kI (Figure 34). The
IEC 61000-4-2 discharge components are C
S
= 150pF
and R
D
= 330I (Figure 35). The ISO 10605 discharge
components are C
S
= 330pF and R
D
= 2kI (Figure 36).
