Jul 28 at 9:02 comment added Tim Williams @AhtishamA Slow down how much? -- What range of resistor values would affect which kind of communications, and in what way? Given the calculations/simulations linked above, what effect would the same resistor values have on ESD?
Jul 28 at 7:55 comment added Ahtisham A You suggested something like this Connector ->TVS -> resistor -> MCU(IC pin) That resistor can slow down or interrupt I2C and UART communication.
Jul 28 at 7:51 comment added Tim Williams I'm afraid I cannot parse that.
Jul 28 at 7:50 comment added Ahtisham A Adding a resistor before the IC pin will not affect communication because it is placed in line with the MCU pin. This will create an RC filter. If I cannot add the resistors, will my system be able to handle the residual ESD after the TVS diode?
Jul 28 at 7:48 comment added Tim Williams @AhtishamA Parts are easily found at all major distributors. For example: digikey.com/short/903j0thj
Jul 28 at 7:45 comment added Ahtisham A Great suggestion, Tim Williams. Please provide me with diode options, preferably array types, so I can find the best one that suits my needs.
Jul 27 at 5:48 comment added Tim Williams Yes, or even better to say, "inside of" the diode. So, in order: connector, TVS, resistor, IC pin.
Jul 27 at 5:32 comment added Simon Fitch When you say "transposing", do you mean moving the resistor after the diode?
