TSC2046E: TSC2046E

Part Number: TSC2046E
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TSC2046

I have a device using the TSC2046 and i am trying the TSC2046E to help with ESD issues. The screen is locking up when hit with voltages in the 2kv to 8kv range. The problem i am having is that i am seeing it more often with the TSC2046E than i was with the TSC2046. On the data sheet for the TSC2046E is says it exceeds IEC 6100-4-2 ESD for 15kv. Does this just mean that the device wont fail or will prevent it from locking up

  • Hello John.
    Yes, the TSC2046E was designed to be functionally equivalent to the TSC2046, but more robust to ESD.
    Normally survivability to IEC strikes depends significantly on the system board/ layout. Assuming those have been taken care of, you should see more robust ESD performance by using the TSC2046E.
