Electronic design automation (EDA) verification of electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is a complex task. Different integrated circuit (IC) design companies use different ESD protection ...

A very cost-effective solution for ESD protection in USB 2.0/3.0 applications is to combine an internal ESD protection structure (integrated in the USB transceiver) with a robust, high-current ...

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 ...

Cortec Corp. has taken the wrapping off its EcoSonic VpCI-125 HP Permanent ESD Stretch Film. Unlike traditional "pink poly" stretch films that offer temporary electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection, ...

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection remains a critical facet in the design and fabrication of CMOS integrated circuits. With the continuing downscaling of device dimensions and the increasing ...

Standards for specifying a chip’s ability to withstand electrostatic discharge (ESD) are changing – in some cases, getting tougher, and in others, easing up. ESD protection has been on a path from a ...

Fig 1. Comparison of a traditional ESD protection design methodology and the PicoGuard XS architecture shows how the latter can provide matched inductance. Fig 2. In a traditional ESD device, the ...

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 ...

Lubrizol Advanced Materials (Cleveland, OH) introduced a new product to its Conductive Polymers line called Stat-Rite static control system. The system includes several inherently static-dissipative ...

Most consumers are generally unaware that they themselves are the single biggest risk to the electronic devices they have come to depend on every day. Simply touching any device that contains ...
