Other Parts Discussed in Thread: STRIKE
Hello there,
I have a customer who is currently using one TPD1E10B6 on each of his (4) metal push buttons. The ESD diode sits in parallel with his push button (one node connecting to a GPIO on an MSP430, the other to ground). In order to test their effectiveness, my customer applies a 15kV transient via a probe to the metal push button as it is being pressed. The peculiar part is that after my customer applies this transient, the MSP430 resets which is unexpected seeing as the ESD diodes are rated for up to 30kV and should be rerouting that charge to ground. In you experience is there some other product that is better for a push-button application or could there be a mistake in the way we're configuring our transient scenario. Any feedback you can provide in our debug process for this would be helpful.
Thanks again,
-Amanda
