Static electricity can be one of those things that can leave both analog and digital circuits out of commission. Static electricity often occurs when dissimilar materials rub against each other ...

Circuit protection devices are safety components used in a variety of applications, ranging from smartphones and laptops to medical and wireless communications equipment. These components include ...

Design engineers often give circuit protection only cursory attention. Fuses, diodes, and varistors are so well known that designers select them with little thought as to the nature of the overvoltage ...

[Kevin Darrah] is risking the nerves on his index finger to learn about ESD protection. Armed with a white pair of socks, a microfiber couch, and a nylon carpet, like a wizard from a book he summons ...

Standards for specifying a chip’s ability to withstand electrostatic discharge (ESD) are changing – in some cases, getting tougher, and in others, easing up. ESD protection has been on a path from a ...

The electronic content in modern cars has increased tremendously thanks to the demand for in-car entertainment (“infotainment”) systems and features, such as docking for smartphones, USB ports, and ...

Ask any financial planner for retirement savings advice and the first answer you'll get will always be the same: "It's never too early to start planning for retirement." Much the same advice is true ...

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is an essential facet in the design and operation of modern integrated circuits (ICs). As electronic devices become increasingly miniaturised and complex, ...
