Product Description
The PACVGA203 incorporates seven channels of ESD
protection for all signal lines commonly found in a VGA
port. ESD protection is implemented with current
steering diodes designed to safely handle the high
surge currents encountered with IEC-61000-4-2 Level-
4 ESD Protection (8kV contact discharge). When a
channel is subjected to an electrostatic discharge, the
ESD current pulse is diverted via the protection diodes
into either the positive supply rail or ground where it
may be safely dissipated. Separate positive supply
rails are provided for the VIDEO, DDC and SYNC
channels to facilitate interfacing with low voltage Video
Controller ICs and provide design flexibility in multi-
supply-voltage environments.
Two non-inverting drivers provide buffering for the
HSYNC and VSYNC signals from the Video Controller
IC (SYNC_IN1, SYNC_IN2). These buffers accept TTL
input levels and convert them to CMOS output levels
that swing between Ground and VCC4 (cont’d next
page).
