Successfully protecting a system against electrostatic discharge (ESD) is largely dependent on the printed circuit board (PCB) design. While selecting the proper transient voltage suppressor …

This guide is designed to summarize some of the comprehensive ESD solutions that Littelfuse offers, and help designers narrow to technologies appropriate to their end application:

What is Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)? It is the discharge of triboelectric charging that occurs when two materials separate. How does ESD Influence Integrated Circuits? 1. ESD voltage …

ESD is a miniature lightning bolt of charge that moves between two surfaces that have different potentials. It can occur only when the voltage differential between the two surfaces is …

Sep 27, 2021 · ESD protection circuit design happens in the schematic as you’re creating circuits, and you’ll later transfer this over to your PCB layout. In this article, we’ll look at some of the …

To summarize that we see above, the best way to provide an efficient ESD protection is to follow below rules: • Minimizing the impedances around the TVS in order to control the ESD current …

Key ESD protection device specifications definitions. A quick summary of EMI, EFT, and ESD protection strategies. Capacitor filter selection and characteristics. Software protection …

ESD device behavior modeling accurately describes the measured ESD discharging I–V characteristics for any ESD protection structures fabricated. Circuit‐level ESD protection …

increasingly difficult task of adequate ESD protection-circuit design. This thesis reviews the problems of ESD in the IC industry and the standard models used to characterize ESD …

By splitting into three sections, this guide helps with selecting the proper transient voltage suppressor (TVS) for ESD protection in a system design. The first section helps define the key …
