Finally, for ESD protection, circuit protection products such as silicon ESD (SESD) devices can be placed on the USB data lines.

It provides a clear insight into the integration of ESD protection networks from a generalist perspective, followed by examples in specific technologies, circuits, and chips.

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 ...

The RF libraries include analog signal pads and ESD protection components for RF applications. These libraries are offered as a supplement to the stan ...

For example, the Industry Council on ESD Target Specifications recently announced a move to reduce the standard level of on-chip ESD protection, making external ESD protection circuits even more ...

We’re used to interfaces such as I2C and one-wire as easy ways to hook up sensors and other peripherals to microcontrollers. While they’re fine within the confines of a small project, ...

Beware of misleading marketing specifications where vendors are increasing their “integrated ESD” rating and confusing system designers but advising that their integrated circuits do not require ...
