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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

•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 ...

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 ...

Dissipative energy chain from igus with self-supporting function makes space-consuming shielding superfluous.

We’ve all experienced the effect of electrostatic discharge at some point in our lives, the most common case being a tingling sensation one feels after touching a door knob or any metal surface. When ...
