The TPD8S009 provides an electrostatic discharge (ESD) solution for the display port and high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) high-speed lines. This device offers eight ESD clamp circuits with flow-through pin mapping that matches the display port or HDMI port connector pin assignments. This device supports HDMI 1.3 or display port data rate (in excess of 3 Gbps).

The Dx+/Dx– ports add only 0.8-pF capacitance to the high-speed differential lines. In addition, the monolithic integrated circuit technology ensures that there is excellent matching between the two signal pairs of the differential line. This is a direct advantage over discrete ESD clamp solutions, where variations between two different ESD clamps may significantly degrade the differential signal quality.

The TPD8S009 complies with IEC61000-4-2 (Level 4) ESD protection. This device is offered in a space-saving SON package with 0.5-mm pitch matching the display port or HDMI connector pitch. The unique pin mapping allows the system designer to select the ESD solution at the last phase of the design without any changes in the board layout or degradation of signal-integrity performance.

The TPD8S009 is characterized for operation over the ambient air temperature range of –40°C to 85°C.
