For example, TE Connectivity surface mount SESD0402X1UN-0020-090 silicon ESD protection device can protect USB 3.0 or HDMI data signals from ESD. There are two connections for the USB 1.0 and 2.0 data ...

This chapter discusses exemplar electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit design techniques. ESD protection follows the same general principle for all integrated circuit (IC) pads, i.e., to ...

Two novel 3×VDD-tolerant electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuits using only low-voltage devices without extra power consumption are proposed for 0.18- μm 1.8-V and 90-nm 1.2-V CMOS processes ...

Thus, the voltage across ESD-protection diode D 1A or D 1B approaches 0V, and neither diode's leakage current affects the sensor's output signal. Depending on the polarity of an ESD event you apply to ...

A third common ESD protection technique for CMOS circuits is to use resistors as current-limiting devices. Resistors are passive components that oppose the flow of electric current and dissipate ...
