Designers must be able to select ESD protection circuits and their corresponding physical layout data, and assign ESD current path staging through ports/pads and device pins for ESD-related ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Ask any financial planner for retirement savings advice and the first answer you'll get will always be the same: "It's never too early to start planning for retirement." Much the same advice is true ...

Finally, for ESD protection, circuit protection products such as silicon ESD (SESD) devices can be placed on the USB data lines. These ultra-compact (0402- and 0201- sized) ...

Demand for ESD (electrostatic discharge) and EOS (electric over-stress) protection components will be rising for commercial notebooks that are increasingly requiring high-speed transmission and ...
