Tool/software:
Hello,
I would like to include additional ESD protection at my ethernet physical but find it difficult to select the right TVS diode. The internal protection is not adequate for my application as I occasionally see damaged physicals. As the datasheet recommends, I would put it right at the MDI pins but how do I guarantee that the common mode pulse is sinked by the added TVS instead of the internal protection on the PHY? I can't find any details regarding ESD protection in any TI provided document to help me with this problem.
I am currently looking at the Littlefuse AQRV05-4HTG. Do you think this will give me the appropriate protection? Hope anyone can help me out, thanks!
