SN65LVDS108: ESD Ratings

Ken Steenis

Part Number: SN65LVDS108

I've been trying to find out the exact ESD values for this device. The datasheet says the following:

Electrostatic discharge, A, B, Y, Z, and GND(3) Class 3, A:12 kV, B: 500 V

What about the other inputs (enable and such). What is A? What is B?

Hi Ken,

Unfortunately this is a very old device (released 1999) so I'm not able to find any documentation related to its ESD qualifications.

A and B are terminals. You can reference MIL-STD-883C Method 3015.7 for the testing methodology.

That's to bad.

If A and B are meant to be the terminals (LVDS pair) than one of the two pins that belong together would have an higher ESD rating?

Ken

Hi Ken,

Terminal A and terminal B are not related to the device A and B pins; they're terminals of the HBM tester.
