Hi,
I´m designing a custom carrier board for Jetson Nano with a M.2 key M for a SSD.
Do I need ESD protection on the carrier board or is it already implemented on the module?
I´m thinking about using TPD4E05U06DQAR.
Thank you

Hi, it depends on the use case you plan. In general PCIe device is not plugged/unplugged often, ESD device is not must. We don’t have such recommended devices for reference, TPD4E05U06DQAR is for USB port which has same data rate to PCIe.
