For example, an 8-kV ESD strike at the test specification of 30 A through a printed-circuit board (PCB) trace with just 1-nH inductance generates a 30-V spike on that trace.

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 semiconductor manufacturers introduce new wireline transmission devices built on smaller CMOS geometries, more circuit protection challenges are emerging. This article explores five frequently ...

It provides a clear insight into the integration of ESD protection networks from a generalist perspective, followed by examples in specific technologies, circuits, and chips.

We’re used to interfaces such as I2C and one-wire as easy ways to hook up sensors and other peripherals to microcontrollers. While they’re fine within the confines of a small project, ...

For example, the Industry Council on ESD Target Specifications recently announced a move to reduce the standard level of on-chip ESD protection, making external ESD protection circuits even more ...

Silicon protection arrays are multi-channel devices which feature is very low clamping voltage which allows them to protect even the most sensitive circuits. Polymeric ESD suppressors are the newest ...

Beware of misleading marketing specifications where vendors are increasing their “integrated ESD” rating and confusing system designers but advising that their integrated circuits do not require ...

To connect the miniature world of integrated circuits like a CPU with the outside world, a number of physical connections ...
