IEC 1000-4-2

The IEC 1000-4-2 standard covers ESD testing and per-

formance of finished equipment; it does not specifically

refer to integrated circuits. The MAX3344E/MAX3345E

help the user design equipment that meets level 4 of IEC

1000-4-2, without the need for additional ESD-protection

components.

The major difference between tests done using the

Human Body Model and IEC 1000-4-2 is a higher peak

current in IEC 1000-4-2, because series resistance is

lower in the IEC 1000-4-2 model. Hence, the ESD with-

stand voltage measured to IEC 1000-4-2 is generally

lower than that measured using the Human Body Model.

Figure 1c shows the IEC 1000-4-2 model.

The Air-Gap Discharge Method involves approaching

the device with a charged probe. The Contact

Discharge Method connects the probe to the device

before the probe is energized.

Machine Model

The Machine Model for ESD tests all pins using a 200pF

storage capacitor and zero discharge resistance. Its

objective is to emulate the stress caused by contact that

occurs with handling and assembly during manufactur-

ing. All pins require this protection during manufactur-

ing. Therefore, after PC board assembly, the Machine

Model is less relevant to I/O ports.

Applications Information

External Components

External Resistors

Two external 23.7Ω ±1% to 27.4Ω ±1%, 1/2W resistors

are required for USB connection. Place the resistors

in between the MAX3344E/MAX3345E and the USB

connector on the D+ and D- lines (see the Typical

Operating Circuit).

External Capacitors

Use three external capacitors for proper operation. Use

filter capacitor on VTRM. Return all capacitors to GND.
