The HDMI 1.3 specification supports the demand of future HD display devices for higher resolution and higher frame rates with a color depth up to 48-bit by doubling bandwidth from 165 MHz (4.95 Gbps) ...

Advanced CMOS process technologies enable IC designers to deliver higher performing devices, but also increase the need for extra board-level ESD protection to ensure the reliability of the end ...

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 ...

Protection against ESD events (commonly referred to as ESD robustness) is an extremely important aspect of integrated circuit (IC) design and verification, including 2.5/3D designs. ESD events cause ...

Drivers and vehicles now rely more heavily on Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). While the use of systems such as RADAR and LiDAR will be important here, ADAS in vehicles also relies heavily ...

Cortec Corp. has taken the wrapping off its EcoSonic VpCI-125 HP Permanent ESD Stretch Film. Unlike traditional "pink poly" stretch films that offer temporary electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection, ...

[Kevin Darrah] is risking the nerves on his index finger to learn about ESD protection. Armed with a white pair of socks, a microfiber couch, and a nylon carpet, like a wizard from a book he summons ...

Obviously, electrostatic discharge (ESD) is one of many critical considerations in almost every design project. Equally obvious is the fact that there is no shortage of solutions to keep ESD at bay.

PCIe4.0 is expected to emerge as a mainstream transmission interface standard for diverse notebooks and desktops in 2022, providing significant growth opportunities for ESD (electrostatic discharge) ...

A hacker’s view on ESD protection can tell you a lot about them. I’ve seen a good few categories of hackers neglecting ESD protection – there’s the yet-inexperienced ones, ones with a devil-may-care ...
