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 launched a new series of five high-performance protection 1-V diodes that safeguard AC-coupled radio-frequency (RF) transmission lines against electrostatic discharge (ESD) events, surge ...

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 ...

A very cost-effective solution for ESD protection in USB 2.0/3.0 applications is to combine an internal ESD protection structure (integrated in the USB transceiver) with a robust, high-current ...

•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 ...

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 ...

Electronic devices are helping doctors and nurses in healthcare, but even a minor electrostatic discharge could affect the operation of a blood pressure monitor or automated external defibrillator, so ...
