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) ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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.

As the semiconductor industry transitions to finFETs, reliability challenges are increasing. ESD designers are challenged with new issues that would require significant rethinking and redesign of ...

The sheer volume of automotive electronics in today’s cars is dramatically driving up the transmission requirements and data payload on automotive networks, writes Lukas Droemer of Nexperia. To take ...

Lubrizol Advanced Materials (Cleveland, OH) introduced a new product to its Conductive Polymers line called Stat-Rite static control system. The system includes several inherently static-dissipative ...

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 ...
