D1 & D2 ESD diode placement
Aug 28th, 2012, 11:40pm  
For a typical D1 & D2 ESD diode placement, is it advisable to be placed near to the pad/bump or near to  high-speed Tx driver?

Hi Casual,


as far as I know ESD diodes are often placed directly underneath the pad. I assume you want the shortest path to ground. Not sure about your specific application though.


cheers,
Aaron
