ESD protection for AM437x

Guru 15520 points

Hi,

I have a question about ESD protection for AM437x USB.

In "AM335x and AM437x USB Layout Guidlines(sprabt8) page.7, 

there are information about ESD as folllowing:

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Typically, equipment has to pass IEC stressing at 8 kV contact and 15 kV air discharge, or higher.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

1.Should a ESD protection diode which meets these contents must be used?

Or

In AM437x GP EVM, TPD4S012DRYR are used for USB ESD protection.

But TPD4S012DRYR doesn't meet the 15kV air discharge which is written  in the sprabt8.

2.Can TPD4S012DRYR be used for AM437x USB ESD protection?

best regards,

g.f.
