With the pervasiveness of power management techniques like clock gating and power gating, transient power is on the rise, accompanied by the requirement to closely examine a system for such phenomenon ...

One of the biggest threats with regard to touch sensing applications is the risk of damage to the electronic equipment or components with electrostatic discharge (ESD). The testing of electrostatic ...

ESD events that damage semiconductor devices come from people, from handlers and sorters, or from a device itself if it obtains sufficient static charge. ESD circuit designers add protection circuits ...

JEDEC Solid State Technology Association and the ESD Association today announced the publication of ANSI/ESDA/JEDEC JS-001-2011 for Electrostatic Discharge Sensitivity (ESD) Testing - Human Body Model ...

All companies striving to survive and grow in today’s worldwide electronics industry recognize the value of performing design, development, and troubleshooting tests. These tests should be done early ...

•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 ...
