Protection against ESD events (commonly referred to as ESD robustness) is an extremely important aspect of integrated circuit (IC) design and verification, including 2.5/3D designs. ESD events cause ...

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage sensitive electronic components in several ways. First, the high voltage may cause internal damage and the rapid rise in temperature puts delicate electronics ...

Obviously, electrostatic discharge (ESD) is one of many critical considerations in almost every design project. Equally obvious is the fact that there is no shortage of solutions to keep ESD at bay.

In the past, the simple 12-V lead-acid battery was a ubiquitous feature of almost all automobiles, which meant protecting vehicle electrics against electrostatic discharge (ESD) was a relatively ...

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 ...
