Best practice for placing ESD protection devices on a PCB

In this work, the ESD protection diodes realized in waffle, multi-waffle, and multi-waffle-hollow layout styles are fabricated in a 90-nm CMOS process.

Place the TVS diode close to the ESD entry source. 3. Connect the TVS diode to the ground of the power supply or chassis. 1. Minimize the parasitic ...

In this work, various layout options for ESD diodes' PN junction geometry and metal routing are investigated. The current compression point (ICP) is ...

Here are some ESD protection circuit design options you can use in your next PCB and some PCB layout best practices for your new product.

In this article, we'll show where to place a TVS diode in a PCB layout, particularly near connectors mounted along a board edge.

1. Place ESD protection diodes close to the ESD entry point. 2. Minimize trace inductance in series with ESD protection diodes including GND.

Designing in EMI and ESD protection at the beginning of the project saves time and money, as shown in Figure 1. This is a simple concept, but often surge ...

The best way to minimize these issues is to place transient voltage suppressors (TVS) from ST, where the surges can appear; but some care must ...

ESD selection guides are available in Technical Documents at www.ti.com/esd for guidance in choosing the correct type of TVS diode for a particular system.

By splitting into three sections, this guide helps with selecting the proper transient voltage suppressor (TVS) for ESD protection in a system design. The first ...
