Select from TVS diode arrays and polymer ESD suppressors with unique characteristics to protect each port without compromising the data rate or high-to-low voltage differential. Table 1. Automotive ...

This differs from the circuit shown in Figure 1 by not only the value of the limiting R but also the 2.2kΩ protects from voltages above +Vs. This is an example of the intricacies that must be fully ...

GiGuard Series ESD diodes. Image credit: AVX AVX Corporation has released a series of bidirectional ESD suppression diodes that combine the latest in transient voltage suppression (TVS) technology ...

Abstract: The RC-diode ESD protection circuit has been presented to offer the ESD protection in high-frequency integrated circuits. The protection circuit combines the ESD protection diodes with the ...

New generations of portable products are increasingly sensitive to damage from Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) voltage as newer integrated circuit (IC) technologies employ smaller geometries and lower ...

By designing these new diodes to effectively be ‘dropped in’ as needed, developers can replace an older model or increase the efficiency of a device without having to redesign the entire system.

Take a look at ESD diodes, where and how to add them, where to ... can give a GPIO – throw in a low-value series resistor too, if you’re generous. If you’re doing, say, a RP2040 circuit, ...

One of the simplest and most widely used ESD protection techniques for CMOS circuits is to connect diodes between the input or output pins and the power supply rails. Diodes are semiconductor ...

1970s TTL and NMOS were not so vulnerable to ESD, too. It was early CMOS and DRAM which were vulnerable to ESD. Modern CMOS has protective-circuits built-in to compensate for this design flaw.

Abstract: On-chip ESD protection circuits realized with novel diode structures, without the field-oxide boundary across the p/n junction, are proposed. A PMOS (NMOS) structure is especially inserted ...

ProTek Devices has launched a double electrostatic discharge circuit protection diode ideal for networking applications including Ethernet, audio/video inputs, smartphones and cellular phones, and ...
