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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

sensiBel’s SBM100B is a fusion of high-precision technologies, all orchestrated to elevate sound capture to unprecedented levels of accuracy. By leveraging Sofics’ silicon-proven ESD IP, sensiBel also ...

Protection against ESD events (commonly referred to as ESD robustness) is an extremely important aspect of integrated circuit (IC) design and verification, including 2.5/3D designs. ESD events cause ...

Fig 1. Comparison of a traditional ESD protection design methodology and the PicoGuard XS architecture shows how the latter can provide matched inductance. Fig 2. In a traditional ESD device, the ...

Whether you’re designing integrated circuits, equipment, or systems, you absolutely must provide protection from electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD is a common problem in most environments. Product ...

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 ...

•ESD protectors with low dynamic resistance won’t necessarily protect circuits. •Most damage is caused within the first nanosecond of an ESD event. •The ESD protector should set as close as possible ...

[Kevin Darrah] is risking the nerves on his index finger to learn about ESD protection. Armed with a white pair of socks, a microfiber couch, and a nylon carpet, like a wizard from a book he summons ...
