Circuit-protection device is industry's first 5-V part with a flow-through design The first of its kind to use a flowthrough design, the uClamp0524P four-line 5-V ESD protection device replaces four ...

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) issues in integrated circuit (IC) chip designs have become more critical at advanced semiconductor process nodes, due to shrinking transistor dimensions and oxide layer ...

•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 ...

High-power, high-brightness LEDs (HBLEDs) are becoming increasingly popular in lighting applications. Now, there’s a side-mount ESD protection device for HBLEDs ...

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 ...

Designed to protect VGA circuits from ESD, the PAC VGA105 VGA port protector incorporates seven channels of protection, implemented via current-steering diodes. The ESD current pulse is diverted via ...

Nexperia has announced a range of ESD protection devices aimed at protecting high-speed interfaces in automotive applications, especially in-vehicle networks for infotainment and communications. There ...

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 ...
