Additionally, the designer's desire to predict “in-system” performance is complicated by the simple fact that component datasheets can only represent “out-of-circuit” performance parameters, and the ...

A simple and effective ESD protection structure is proposed for the high-voltage-tolerant I/O pad. It can tolerate a voltage higher than the power supply voltage without the leakage current caused by ...

ESD is a well-known reliability aspect in Si technologies, but GaAs devices are more susceptible to ESD damage than the silicon devices. In this study, the ESD survivability of the InGaP HBT ...

Electrostatic discharges (ESD) pose an invisible risk to electronic components. They can happen anywhere that components are being processed.

Learn how to design an ESD-resistant integrated circuit (IC) for automation systems, using ESD models, standards, circuits, optimization, and verification.

Several key technology trends are changing electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection requirements. High-speed interfaces, for example, affect signal integrity, and shrinking geometries make ...

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. released a new bidirectional and symmetrical (BiAs) single-line ESD protection diode for portable electronics that provides a reverse avalanche breakdown ...

TE Connectivity’s Circuit Protection group addressed the problem by developing a family of silicon ESD (SESD) devices with ±20-kV contact and ±22-kV air discharge ratings, which ...
