All the above have issues, primarily in the parasitic capacitance they also add to your circuit. Several manufacturers now make low-capacitance shunt devices that will divert much of the ESD current ...

[Kevin Darrah] is risking the nerves on his index finger to learn about ESD protection ... So what happens to a circuit when you shock it? Does it instantly die in a dramatic movie fashion ...

Chip process technology firm Sarnoff has developed improved electrostatic discharge (ESD) circuitry that it claims will cut $100 from the cost of every wafer. Dubbed TakeCharge!, the technology was ...

“TakeCharge! solves that problem through fundamental changes in three ESD technology areas: device design, circuit design, and circuit layout,” Verhaege said. “Sarnoff's decades of experience in ESD ...
