Electronic design automation (EDA) verification of electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is a complex task. Different integrated circuit (IC) design companies use different ESD protection ...

The electronic content in modern cars has increased tremendously thanks to the demand for in-car entertainment (“infotainment”) systems and features, such as docking for smartphones, USB ports, and ...

Several key technology trends are changing electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection requirements. High-speed interfaces, for example, affect signal integrity, and shrinking geometries make ...

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 ...

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is caused by the discharge of an excess or deficiency of electrons on one surface with respect to another surface or to ground. When a static charge is present on an ...

ProTek Devices has introduced a new electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection diode designed for circuit protection in automotive controller area network (CAN) bus lines and other automotive ...

TE Connectivity’s Circuit Protection group addressed the problem by developing a family of silicon ESD (SESD) devices with ±20-kV contact and ±22-kV air discharge ratings, which surpass the IEC’s 8-kV ...
