Many electronic components are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). A static charge is an unbalanced electrical charge at rest. An electrostatic discharge is created when insulator surfaces rub ...

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) poses a persistent threat to electronic systems, from individual semiconductor devices to complex assemblies. Robust testing protocols and mitigation strategies are ...

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 ...

This close examination of S20.20 reveals the key ingredients to a successful ESD control program. Multinational manufacturing corporations are racing to pursue the cost benefits of economic geography.

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, ...

ROHM Semiconductor today announced it has developed new Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) protection diodes – the RESDxVx series – that achieve both industry-leading low dynamic resistance (Rdyn) and ...
