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 ...

Nexperia has launched a new series of five high-performance protection 1-V diodes that safeguard AC-coupled radio-frequency (RF) transmission lines against electrostatic discharge (ESD) events, surge ...

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 ...

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 ...

TDK Corporation presents a new series of EPCOS multilayer varistors of the CeraDiode® family, which includes the most compact, flattest and most rugged varistor for the ESD protection of mobile ...

•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 ...

Electronic devices are helping doctors and nurses in healthcare, but even a minor electrostatic discharge could affect the operation of a blood pressure monitor or automated external defibrillator, so ...

Radio frequency (RF) integrated circuits (ICs) are at the heart of a wide variety of today’s applications and services, including wireless local area networks (LANs), cellular communications, global ...
