Low Capacitance ESD Protection - SP3012 Series
Application Information
Signal Integrity of High-Speed Data Interfaces
Adding external ESD protection to a high-speed data port is
not trivial for a variety of reasons.
1. ESD protection devices will add parasitic capacitance
to each data line from line to GND and line to line causing 
impedance mismatches between the differential pairs. This
ultimately affects the signal eye-diagram and whether or
not the transceiver can distinguish a “1” from a “0”.
2. ESD devices should be placed as close as possible
to the port being protected to maximize their effect (i.e.
clamping capability) and minimize the effect that PCB trace
inductance can have during an ESD transient. Depending
on the package size and pinout this could be challenging
and the bigger the package, the larger the land pattern
must be, which adds more parasitic capacitance.
3. Stub traces can add another element of discontinuity
adversely affecting signal integrity so ESD protection is
best employed when it’s “overlaid” on the data lines or
when the signals can simply pass underneath the device.
Taking all of this into account Littelfuse developed 
the SP3012 Series which was designed specifically
for protection of high-speed data ports such as HDMI
1.3/1.4 and USB 3.0. They present less than 0.5pF from 
line to GND and only 0.3pF from line to line minimizing 
impedance mismatch between the differential pairs.

discharge) which far exceeds the maximum requirement of
the IEC 61000-4-2 standard.
There are two options available (4 channel and 6 channel)
and both are housed in leadless μDFN packages so the 
data lines can pass directly underneath the device to
reduce discontinuities and maintain signal integrity.

Using a similar layout as above, Figure 3 shows the eye 
diagram that resulted using the SP3012-04UTG to protect
the Super-Speed data lines and the SP3003-02UTG to
protect the legacy data pair.

USB 3.0 Eye Diagram Data
Figure 1 shows the layout used for the SP3012-06UTG in a 
USB 3.0 application. The traces routed toward the top are
the two legacy USB 2.0 lines (D+/D-) that run at the slower
speed of 480Mbps and therefore are not as critical as the
0
5Gbps Super-Speed traces.
