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 ...
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 ...
CAMARILLO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a high-performance semiconductor, Internet of Things (IoT) systems and cloud connectivity service provider, today announced ...
Maintaining signal integrity in automotive high-speed video link designs is key. Drivers and vehicles now rely more heavily on Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). While the use of systems such ...
The sheer volume of automotive electronics in today’s cars is dramatically driving up the transmission requirements and data payload on automotive networks, writes Lukas Droemer of Nexperia. To take ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Did you know that over 30% of semiconductor failures are attributed to electrostatic discharge (ESD)? Defined by the ESD Association as “the rapid, spontaneous transfer of electrostatic charge induced ...
