AMAZING MICROELECTRONIC presents new ESD protection devices

The constant evolution of the ICs manufacturing process inevitably leads to an increasing vulnerability of chips to ESD/EOS interference, which leads to a decrease in the resistance of connectors such as USB, HDMI and LAN to ESD/EOS. Adding a TVS protection element to connectors has become a trend in the development of new electronic devices. Amazing Microelectonic offers new options for TVS protection.

An experimental study using the AZ1143-04F board shows that the location of the TVS has a significant impact on system protection when designing electrical circuits. Obviously, to design circuit protection, the protection element must be located close to the connector, and the TVS must be placed directly above the conductors of the signals to be protected, as this allows the TVS to provide the maximum possible protection of the system against ESD/EOS.
