Designing an integrated circuit (IC) for communication, computing, gaming, and other emerging applications is a multi-million dollar project, requiring rigorous design methodology and substantial ...
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is caused by the discharge of an excess or deficiency of electrons on one surface with respect to another surface or to ground. When a static charge is present on an ...
These devices provide optimised protection for AC-coupled radio-frequency (RF) transmission lines against electrostatic discharge (ESD) events, surge currents and short circuit conditions. These ...
As the semiconductor industry transitions to FinFETs, reliability challenges are increasing. ESD designers are challenged with new issues that would require significant rethinking and redesign of ...
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is an essential facet in the design and operation of modern integrated circuits (ICs). As electronic devices become increasingly miniaturised and complex, ...
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 ...
Most switching power-supply controllers provide non-latching fault protection. Satisfying a requirement for a latchoff response to a fault often requires the addition of excessive and redundant ...
The smart grid is the next evolution of the electricity grid with the convergence of electric power, telecommunications infrastructure and information technology. The ultimate goal is to allow ...
