Because of this, designers of portable products such as cell phones, MP3 players and digital cameras must evaluate ESD protection options to ensure that they select a solution that responds to the ...

Selecting the correct ESD protection device ... Keypads or other manual interface buttons may be an entry point for the destructive energy of ESD. Audio lines may have similar ESD exposure ...

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is critical at advanced nodes to safeguard designs against effects intensified by shrinking transistor dimensions and oxide layer thicknesses. On the other ...

The internal on-chip ESD protection does not provide sufficient protection needed to keep the sensitive HDMI chip from becoming damaged. Thus, most consumer electronics manufacturers require HDMI ...

Electronic design automation (EDA) verification of electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is a complex task. Different integrated circuit (IC) design companies use different ESD protection ...

"Accurate SPICE simulation of electrostatic discharge scenarios and circuit protection is crucial to avoid ESD failures in integrated circuits and products," said Khandelwal. "ESD protection and ...

ESD protection of electronics is undergoing a dramatic shift due to the adoption of smaller manufacturing geometries, reduction of on-chip protection, and the changing application environment.

•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 ...

The system includes several inherently static-dissipative materials that offer permanent ESD protection and prevention. In the past, this system was only available for thermoforming applications, but ...
