Lighter, smaller consumer devices, such as laptops, cell phones, and iPods, use ASICs with geometries as small as 90 nm. At those geometries, even small levels of ESD (electrostatic-discharge)-induced ...

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 ...

Electronic design automation (EDA) verification of electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is a complex task. Different integrated circuit (IC) design companies use different ESD protection ...

Lubrizol Advanced Materials Inc. has expanded its conductive polymers line with two additions. The Cleveland-based firm has introduced Electro-Rite inherently conductive polymer-coated sheets for ...

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 ...

•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 ...

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 ...

Amazing Microelectronic of Taiwan has introduced a low-capacitance ESD protection array for data and audio interfaces. “The multifaceted AZ1015-02N maintains low surge clamping voltage for ESD/EOS ...

Intersil developed the ISL32613E and ISL32614E for applications involving industrial or process control networks, space-constrained systems, factory automation, and building environmental ...

Most consumers are generally unaware that they themselves are the single biggest risk to the electronic devices they have come to depend on every day. Simply touching any device that contains ...
