The TLP I-V curve in Figure 2 provides a detailed characterization of the IC’s ESD behavior, including the voltages and currents at which the IC triggers, snaps back and/or clamps, and fails. There ...

Accidentally converting your external hard drive to an ESD-USB can be a real headache, especially if you lose important data in the process. The bad news is that you can’t actually undo the process, ...

5V, ESD clamp in GlobalFoundries 180nm that can be used for either signal protection or 1.8V Power supplies. The clamp is a compact single cell, 44um x 32um in size. It is built from substrate to ...

Interface ESD protection in the most advanced FinFET technology is challenging: ESD sensitivity is very high while conventional ESD solutions are not effective anymore. Sofics’ proprietary clamps are ...

To prevent this, ESD wrist straps and similar are essential tools, as they prevent the build-up of a charge on your humanoid’s skin, essentially like a very large electrolyte-filled capacitor.

or an ESD garment that connects you to a grounded surface, such as a mat, a bench, or a floor. You can ground your equipment by using a grounding cord, a plug, or a clamp that connects it to a ...

Abstract: Novel circuit design techniques are presented for improving the performance of RC-triggered rail clamps for ESD protection in CMOS ICs. For system-level (powered) protection, the narrow ...
