Rethinking ESD Protection Requirements
The OPEN Alliance (One-Pair Ether-Net) Special Interest Group (SIG) is a non-profit alliance of mainly automotive industry and technology providers. One key goal is to enable the deployment of the existing IEEE 100BASE-T1 and 1000BASE-T1 physical layer specifications with complementing specifications for conformance and interoperability.
Discrete ESD protection devices take a crucial role when it comes to system level robustness and new requirements needs to be considered. When there is either no ESD protection or it is located at the PHY, then the power of ESD strikes would pass the CM termination, DC Block and CMC. If however the ESD protection device is placed right at the connector (see Figure below) it not only protects the PHY but also the common-mode choke (CMC) and passives.
