Introduction
Texas Instrument’s TPD1E04U04 evaluation module helps designers evaluate the operation and
performance of the TPD1E04U04 device. The TPD1E04U04 is a unidirectional TVS ESD protection diode
for HDMI 2.0 and USB 3.0 high speed data line protection. The TPD1E04U04 is rated to dissipate ESD
strikes at the maximum level specified in the IEC 61000-4-2 international standard (Level 4).
The EVM contains six TPD1E04U04s. Five TPD1E04U04s (D1 – D5) are configured with test points for
striking ESD to the protection pins. One TPD1E04U04 (D6) is configured with 2 SMA (J1 and J2)
connectors for 2-port analysis with a vector network analyzer. TPD1E04U04 (D6) can also be used for
capturing clamping waveforms with an oscilloscope during an ESD test. Caution must be taken when
capturing clamping waveforms during an ESD event so as not to damage the oscilloscope. A proper
procedure is outlined in Section 3.3.1.

Definitions
Contact Discharge — a method of testing in which the electrode of the ESD simulator is held in contact
with the device-under-test (DUT).
Air Discharge — a method of testing in which the charged electrode of the ESD simulator approaches
the DUT, and a spark to the DUT actuates the discharge.
ESD Simulator — a device that outputs IEC 61000-4-2 compliance ESD waveforms shown in Figure 1
with adjustable ranges shown in Table 1 and Table 2.
IEC 61000-4-2 has 4 classes of protection levels. Classes 1 – 4 are shown in Table 1. Stress tests
should be incrementally tested to level 4 as shown in Table 2 until the point of failure. If the DUT
does not fail at 8-kV, testing can continue in 2-kV increments until failure.

Setup
This section describes the intended use of the EVM. A generalized outline of the procedure given in IEC
61000-4-2 is described here. IEC 61000-4-2 should be referred to for a more specific testing outline. Basic
configurations for collecting s-parameters and ESD clamping waveforms are outlined as well.
3.1
IEC 61000-4-2 ESD Rating Tests
TPD1E04U04DPY (D1 – D5) can be used for destructive electrostatic discharge (ESD) pass or fail ESD
strikes. Specifically, they can be used for both IEC 61000-4-2 air and contact discharge tests. The
procedure in Section 3.1.1 ensures proper testing setup and method for both discharge tests. Each IO has
a Test Pad (TP1 – TP5) directly connected to it for striking ESD.
3.1.1
Test Method and Set-Up
An example test setup is shown in Figure 2. Details of the testing table and ground planes can be found in
the IEC 61000-4-2 test procedure. Ground the EVM using the banana connector J3. Discharge the ESD
simulator on any of the test points TP1 – TP5. Contact and air-gap discharge are tested using the same
simulator with the same discharge waveform. While the simulator is in direct contact with the test point
during contact, it is not during air-gap.

Evaluation of Test Results
Connect the tested device on the EVM to a curve tracer both before and after ESD testing. After each
incremental level, if the IV-curve of the ESD protection diode shifts ±0.1 V, or leakage current increases by
a factor of ten, then the device is permanently damaged by ESD.
3.2
Scattering Parameters
A TPD1E04U04 (D6) is configured with 2 SMA (J1 and J2) connectors to allow 2-port analysis with a
vector network analyzer. Connect Port 1 to J1 and Port 2 to J2. This configuration allows for the following
terminology in 2-port analysis:
• S11: Return loss
• S21: Insertion loss
3.3
±8-kV ESD Clamping Waveforms
A TPD1E04U04 (D6) has two SMA connectors (J1 and J2) which can be used for capturing clamping
waveforms with an oscilloscope during an ESD strike. Caution must be taken when capturing clamping
waveforms during an ESD event so as not to damage the oscilloscope. The following procedures outlines
a proper method.

3.3.1
Oscilloscope Setup
Without a proper procedure, capturing ESD clamping waveforms exposes the oscilloscope to potential
voltages higher than the rating of the equipment. Proper methodology can mitigate any risk in this
operation.
Recommended Measurement Equipment:
• One 2-GHz bandwidth (minimum of 1 GHz) oscilloscope.
• Two 10X 50-Ω attenuators
• One 50-Ω shielded SMA cable.
Procedure
In order to protect the oscilloscope, attenuation of the measured signal is required. Here is a procedure for
testing D3:
1. Ground the EVM using the banana connector J3.
2. Attach two 10X attenuators in series to the oscilloscope channel being used.
3. Attach the 50-Ω shielded SMA cable between J2 and the attenuators.
4. Set the scope attenuation factor to 100X.
5. Set the oscilloscope to trigger on a positive edge for (+) ESD and a negative edge for (–) ESD strikes.
The trigger voltage magnitude should be set to 20 V.
6. Following Section 3.1.1, strike contact ESD to J1.Pin1.
Recommended settings for the time axis is 20 ns/div and for the voltage axis is 10 V division.
The voltage levels of the ESD applied to J1.Pin1 should not exceed ±8 kV while capturing clamping
waveforms.
