ESD suppressors are semiconductors that protect electronic components and systems from electrostatic discharge (ESD), the sudden and uncontrolled transfer of an electrical charge between conductors.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) poses a persistent threat to electronic systems, from individual semiconductor devices to complex assemblies. Robust testing protocols and mitigation strategies are ...

We’ve all experienced the effect of electrostatic discharge at some point in our lives, the most common case being a tingling sensation one feels after touching a door knob or any metal surface. When ...

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 ...

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 ...

Most consumers are generally unaware that they themselves are the single biggest risk to the electronic devices they have come to depend on every day. Simply touching any device that contains ...

Recent tests by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and Goddard Space Flight Center show that new nano-carbon cross-linked ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) helps controls electrostatic discharge ...

TOBYHANNA ARMY DEPOT, Pa. - Protecting state-of-the-art electronics equipment from the damaging effects of electrostatic discharge is a top priority here. Military members count on Tobyhanna employees ...

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is defined as “the sudden and momentary electric current that flows between two objects at different electrical potentials.” ESD causes equipment failure and network ...

Many electronic components are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). A static charge is an unbalanced electrical charge at rest. An electrostatic discharge is created when insulator surfaces rub ...

Nobody likes getting zapped from an electrostatic discharge, no matter whether you’re a fragile ASIC or a bag-of-mostly-salty-water humanoid. To prevent this, ESD wrist straps and similar are ...
