ESD discharges are one of those nasty things that can wreak havoc on portable and other electronic products. Manufacturers must build in protection against current from these high-voltage pulse ...
These devices provide optimised protection for AC-coupled radio-frequency (RF) transmission lines against electrostatic discharge (ESD) events, surge currents and short circuit conditions. These ...
As the semiconductor industry transitions to FinFETs, reliability challenges are increasing. ESD designers are challenged with new issues that would require significant rethinking and redesign of ...
AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Silicon Integration Initiative Compact Model Coalition is proud to announce the release of the ASM-ESD diode model, a new electrostatic discharge compact modeling ...
The sheer volume of automotive electronics in today’s cars is dramatically driving up the transmission requirements and data payload on automotive networks, writes Lukas Droemer of Nexperia. To take ...
A very cost-effective solution for ESD protection in USB 2.0/3.0 applications is to combine an internal ESD protection structure (integrated in the USB transceiver) with a robust, high-current ...
TDK Corporation presents a new series of EPCOS multilayer varistors of the CeraDiode® family, which includes the most compact, flattest and most rugged varistor for the ESD protection of mobile ...
Verifying and fixing ESD protection circuit violations is an essential step in tapeout sign-off flows for today’s IC chip designs. As one of the most commonly used ESD verification flows, the point to ...
Electronic devices are helping doctors and nurses in healthcare, but even a minor electrostatic discharge could affect the operation of a blood pressure monitor or automated external defibrillator, so ...
Maintaining signal integrity in automotive high-speed video link designs is key. Drivers and vehicles now rely more heavily on Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). While the use of systems such ...
A hacker’s view on ESD protection can tell you a lot about them. I’ve seen a good few categories of hackers neglecting ESD protection – there’s the yet-inexperienced ones, ones with a devil-may-care ...
