Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is a significant concern in the chemical and electronics industries. In electronics, ESD often causes integrated circuit failures due to rapid voltage and ...

Once a macro block is fully validated for ESD, this block can be defined as a new ESD cell to check the top-level connectivity. ESD cell-based P2P and CD checks. In an ESD protection circuit, clamps ...

If you really want to know how tough such protection can be, check out the DO-160 Aerospace requirements for lightning induced transients. Short summery: one of the worst transients spikes is ...

If the “on-chip” ESD structure at the chip I/O responds more quickly to the transient than the external protection component, the transceiver IC sees the initial brunt of the transient stress. And, of ...

What are the key driving factors and challenges in the market? What is the structure of the global circuit protection market and who are the key players?

It is an essential reference for: ESD, circuit, and semiconductor engineers; design synthesis team leaders; layout design, characterisation, floor planning, test and reliability engineers ...

Using this resin, the researchers printed the ESD structure directly onto a circuit board. In addition to providing electrical protection of sensitive circuitry, the printed structure also acted as a ...

ESD detectors are useful in correlating unusual circuit upsets with specific ESD events. The following is based on a simple lightning detector circuit by Charles Wenzel and written up later by Bob ...

Understanding ESD device ratings is critical ... seen by VBR heading towards zero. This structure (MOV1) will eventually become a short circuit. The failures of the MOV2 array (black) are creating ...

“ESD protection is much more robust, up four times, and the standard deviation is only 1/12 that of the conventional structure,” claimed the firm. 3D simulation revealed that lattice temperature ...

AVX Corporation , a leading manufacturer and supplier of passive components and interconnect solutions, has released a new series of bidirectional ESD suppression diodes that combine the latest in ...
