ESD protection follows the same general principle for all integrated circuit (IC) pads, i.e., to discharge the large ESD transient current without overheating ...
ESD protection diodes are elements that turn on quickly with low impedance to protect ICs when high-voltage pulses such as those caused by electrostatic ...
Design Considerations on ESD Protection Circuits. Provide the IC with efficient discharging paths to bypass any ESD stress while the IC is in the ESD-stress ...
During an ESD event, the voltage presented to the protected integrated circuit (Protected IC), VESD, is a function of IESD and the impedance presented to it ...
ESD protection for output pins typically consists of diodes connected to the power supplies, as shown in Figure 1. These diodes conduct ESD energy into the ...
