Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is caused by the discharge of an excess or deficiency of electrons on one surface with respect to another surface or to ground. When a static charge is present on an ...

Designing an integrated circuit (IC) for communication, computing, gaming, and other emerging applications is a multi-million dollar project, requiring rigorous design methodology and substantial ...

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 ...

Abstract: A low-noise amplifier (LNA) is the input part of a radio frequency (RF) transceiver, which is vulnerable to electrostatic discharge (ESD). When ESD events occur, they may change the original ...

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 electronic content in modern cars has increased tremendously thanks to the demand for in-car entertainment (“infotainment”) systems and features, such as docking for smartphones, USB ports, and ...

Nexperia has introduced a new series of five high-performance protection 1V diodes that provide optimised protection for AC-coupled RF transmission lines against ESD events, surge currents and short ...
