Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is indeed the "invisible foe" of electronic product quality and reliability. ESD includes spectacular electric sparks, but also less dramatic forms which may be neither ...

In many applications where the input is not under system control but rather connects to the outside world, such as test equipment, instrumentation, and some sensing equipment, it is possible for input ...

Static electricity can be defined as a stationary charge that builds up on the surface of a material. The interaction between stationary charges, known as electrostatics, leads to two key problems ...

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) poses a significant challenge in the design and operation of integrated circuits, frequently leading to soft failures where transient malfunctions disrupt normal ...
