IP addresses are like opinions… everyone has one. But not every IP address is created equal. Some IP addresses are dynamic, which means they automatically change, based on router settings. Also: ...

Static electricity can be a nuisance or even a danger. The energy that makes your hair to stand on end can also damage electronics and cause explosions. However, properly controlled and manipulated, ...

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 Industry Council on ESD Target Levels, since its inception in 2006, has strongly influenced the IC industry’s ESD qualification processes. The industry’s original ESD qualification requirements ...

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is critical at advanced nodes to safeguard designs against effects intensified by shrinking transistor dimensions and oxide layer thicknesses. On the other ...

•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 ...

Manufacturers of electronic devices ideally want an electrostatic-free environment for components. Certain plastics can prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD). ESD is the transfer of charge between ...
