These protection circuits consist of different devices, such as pull-up/pull-down diodes, NMOS, PMOS, ESD resistors, and back-to-back (B2B) diodes, as shown in Figure 1. The protection circuit can be ...

austriamicrosystems has released a ready to use ESD solution that ensures ESD robustness of complex analog/mixed-signal designs in power management, automotive or medical applications. The ...

The new IO library cells with built-in ESD protection structures offer 4kV HBM ESD protection level for 50V maximum supply voltage and are available as an add-on to the ... It offers fully scalable ...

Obviously, electrostatic discharge (ESD) is one of many critical considerations in almost every design project. Equally obvious is the fact that there is no shortage of solutions to keep ESD at ...

When the input common-mode voltage becomes -20 V (goes below ground), the PMOS switches turn OFF to protect the part, and the output sits at 0 V. When the common mode recovers (i.e., above 4.5 V ...

"ESD protection and core circuit co-design are increasingly important in advanced ICs, but conventional diode models do not account for ESD event regimes, during which the device operates under ...

Date Announced: 01 Jun 2005 ROHM’s BD6061GUT and BD6063HFN system LED drivers are ideal for the backlight LEDs used in compact LCDs in mobile equipment such as PDAs, DSCs, DVCs and can also be used as ...
