We’ve all experienced the effect of electrostatic discharge at some point in our lives, the most common case being a tingling sensation one feels after touching a door knob or any metal surface. When ...

This ESD model is one of the first used and attempts to model a human that has accumulated static charge and dissipates it onto the device under test. The setup for this test is a 100pF capacitor is ...

Testing for immunity to electrostatic discharge (ESD), from cell phones to computers, is usually done with the IEC 61000-4-2 standard. 1 But IEC61000-4-2 is purely a systems-level test spec, not a ...

Electronic system designs often include transient protection to ensure system robustness for electrostatic discharge (ESD) events. Adding external ESD protection without compromising system I/O speed, ...

With the pervasiveness of power management techniques like clock gating and power gating, transient power is on the rise, accompanied by the requirement to closely examine a system for such phenomenon ...

An electronic device is susceptible to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) damage during its entire life cycle, especially from the completion of the silicon wafer processing to when the device is assembled ...

The effect of low ESD immunity on a new product introduction can be both obvious and subtle. Manufacturing and test facilities adhere to ANSI standards for ESD protection and handling of chips based ...

•ESD protectors with low dynamic resistance won’t necessarily protect circuits. •Most damage is caused within the first nanosecond of an ESD event. •The ESD protector should set as close as possible ...

Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. today announced that its VETH100A1DD1 ESD protection diode, offered in the DFN1006 package, has ...
