In the vast reaches of the semiconductor cosmos, a silent menace lurks—one that can obliterate years of design work in a fraction of a nanosecond. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) verification stands as ...

Designing an integrated circuit (IC) for communication, computing, gaming, and other emerging applications is a multi-million dollar project, requiring rigorous design methodology and substantial ...

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 ...

With today's focus on higher speeds and wider bandwidths, it often is helpful to revisit basic yet critical design considerations. As a refresher topic on grounding techniques, we present this update ...

Mueller Electric Company, Inc. has announced the offering of static and electrostatic discharge (ESD) grounding cables, designed to protect workers and associated equipment from the potential harmful ...

For applications requiring ESD grounding, S4503-CON is a closed-cell synthetic-rubber sponge with 500-kW /sq max surface resistivity. It has a compression force deflection of 3 to 7 psi. Sheets are ...
