October 21, 2011. Teseq Inc. has introduced the NSG 438A, a new ESD simulator that includes an integrated discharge relay circuit to dissipate residual voltage in conventional ESD testing and ...
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 ...
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) issues in integrated circuit (IC) chip designs have become more critical at advanced semiconductor process nodes, due to shrinking transistor dimensions and oxide layer ...
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 ...
Did you know that over 30% of semiconductor failures are attributed to electrostatic discharge (ESD)? Defined by the ESD Association as “the rapid, spontaneous transfer of electrostatic charge induced ...
IEC 61000-4-2, the Basic Standard for electrostatic discharge (ESD) immunity (Ref. 1), is being revised to change how the standard defines ESD test waveforms. Proposals to the standard aim to define a ...
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, ...
•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 ...
