Electrostatic discharge (ESD), a latent and critical hazard to electronic products, has mostly been served by a 2-cent component that often triggers downtime and replacement costs. It also adds to the ...

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage sensitive electronic components in several ways. First, the high voltage may cause internal damage and the rapid rise in temperature puts delicate electronics ...

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.

The CM1238 protection device provides eight channels of ESD protection that meet ±15-kV contact discharge and ±20-kV air discharge per the IEC61000-4-2 standard. It also meets the 100 ohm differential ...
