Testing for immunity to electrostatic discharge (ESD), from cell phones to computers, is usually done with the IEC 61000-4-2 standard. 1 But IEC61000-4-2 is purely a systems-level test spec, not a ...
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is defined as “the sudden and momentary electric current that flows between two objects at different electrical potentials.” ESD causes equipment failure and network ...
We’ve all experienced the effect of electrostatic discharge at some point in our lives, the most common case being a tingling sensation one feels after touching a door knob or any metal surface. When ...
Of all of the component-level ESD tests available, the charged-device model (CDM) test is the closest to simulating real world events. CDM testing simulates ESD charging followed by a rapid discharge, ...
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 ...
DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/22f186/esd_design_and_sy) has announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons ...
The NSG 434 is a compact and cost effective device for air discharge testing up to 8KV and contact testing up to 6KV. Offering a saving of up to 30% over higher performance models the NSG 434 will ...
•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 ...
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is critical at advanced nodes to safeguard designs against effects intensified by shrinking transistor dimensions and oxide layer thicknesses. On the other ...
