Application note
Increasing the M24LRXXE-R family ESD robustness
on antenna using an external ESD protection
Introduction
The Electrostatic discharge (ESD) absolute maximum ratings for the M24LRXXE-R family,
once mounted on an antenna, are specified at 4 kV (test done following the IEC 61000-4-2
contact and air method).
An external ESD protection component can improve the ESD robustness of the
M24LRXXE-R on antenna.
This document explains how to choose the ESD protection, how to implement it, and gives
ESD performance measurement results based on the ANT10-M24LR16E demonstration
antenna embedding the STMicroelectronics DSILC6-4P6 ESD protection.
Table 1 lists the microcontrollers concerned by this application note.
