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 ...

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, ...

•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 ...
