[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 summon… ...

The internal on-chip ESD protection does not provide sufficient protection needed to keep the sensitive HDMI chip from becoming damaged. Thus, most consumer electronics manufacturers require HDMI ...

The intention is to provide ESD protection based on the system’s needs, rather than one specific component. Figure 2 shows how the position of the ESD device has changed. Figure 2.

During an ESD strike, the ESD-protection device should shunt most of the peak pulse current to ground. However, residual current flows through the DUP, damaging or destroying it (Figure 1). The power ...

ESD protection of electronics is undergoing a dramatic shift due to the adoption of smaller manufacturing geometries, reduction of on-chip protection, and the changing application environment ...

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 ...

Transparency Market Research Inc. -ESD protection devices are used in an array of end-use industries, including automotive and transportation, consumer electronics, telecommunications, aerospace ...

Summary Meeting ESD design protection requirements is a critical part of today’s IC chip designs. Automated EDA flows that check for some common ESD issues, such as the connectivity to ESD devices or ...

Therefore the ESD protection devices require an ESD trigger voltage ≥ 100 V and, in addition to IEC61000-4-2 level 4, must withstand a minimum of 1000 discharges. While offering enhanced behavior, ESD ...

Nexperia has announced a range of ESD protection devices aimed at protecting high-speed interfaces in automotive applications, especially in-vehicle networks for infotainment and communications. There ...

Tweet this Low breakdown voltage is essential for ESD protection devices, especially when protecting ICs manufactured with the finest process.

The system includes several inherently static-dissipative materials that offer permanent ESD protection and prevention. In the past, this system was only available for thermoforming applications, but ...
