Most operational amplifiers (op amps) have input and output electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection diodes, as shown in Figure 1. These diodes are designed for protection from ESD damage during ...

Certain measurement applications, such as for pH (acidity) and bio-potentials, require a high-impedance buffer amplifier. Although several semiconductor manufacturers offer amplifier ICs featuring low ...

Toshiba has revealed details of an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection scheme for 0.13μm analogue power semiconductors. “ESD protection is much more robust, up four times, and the standard ...

Amazing Microelectronic of Taiwan has introduced a low-capacitance ESD protection array for data and audio interfaces. “The multifaceted AZ1015-02N maintains low surge clamping voltage for ESD/EOS ...

Targeting portable designs, the NUP4016 and the ESD11L5.0D ESD-protection arrays provide a 20% lower profile than the company’s previous devices and specify a typical capacitance of 0.5 pF and low ...

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.
