ESD protection An ESD protection circuit is typically made up of two diodes connected between the signal to be protected and power/ground. Power and ground are low impedance system points that absorb ...

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, ...

Designers must be able to select ESD protection circuits and their corresponding physical layout data, and assign ESD current path staging through ports/pads and device pins for ESD-related ...

The proper construction and placement of ESD protection circuits is vital to IC performance and reliability.

Considering ESD protection early in the design phase gives circuit designers the flexibility to choose the ideal protection device and select the optimal layout/location before their options become ...

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is critical at advanced nodes to safeguard designs against effects intensified by shrinking transistor dimensions and oxide layer thicknesses. On the other ...

In this two-stage ESD protection circuit, there are two transistors that help short the positive high-voltage ESD transient to ground, while the diodes take care of negative excursions.

The global circuit protection market exhibited moderate growth during 2015-2020. Looking forward, the global circuit protection market is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 5% during the ...
