Signal integrity and performance is critical for maintaining the quality of HDMI's GHz signals, as well as achieving compliance to the HDMI standard. Manufacturing requirements for ESD protection, ...

The ZVE Series from Stackpole is a low capacitance surface mount multilayer varistor designed for ESD protection.

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 ...

V t2 and I t2 are the voltage and electrical current, respectively, at which the ESD protection device will fail or break down to protect the victim circuitry. Fig. 1: ESD design window. On the right ...

The ESD protection device alone may not be enough to protect modern chip sets from ESD transients. Fortunately, board designers can use these four strategies to optimize ESD protection: 1.

Designers must know the precise design margins provided by the ESD protection circuits, which is often prohibitive using traditional ESD verification approaches. Newer design tools can help designers ...

The inclusion of any ESD protection circuit will, due to its own capacitance, affect the impedance of the line. As a result, this must be compensated for through impedance matching.

"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 ...

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 ...
