The ESD-protection diodes in IC 1 guarantee start-up and act as a full-wave rectifier. MOSFETs internal to the analog switch turn on when the battery voltage exceeds 1V. Their less-than-20-nsec ...

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, o… ...

Diodes Incorporated (Nasdaq: DIOD), a Standard and Poor’s SmallCap 600 and Russell 3000 Index company, delivers high-quality semiconductor products to the world’s leading companies in the ...

Milpitas, Calif. - Intersil Corporation's Endura ISL6614 is a two-channel synchronous-buck MOSFET driver IC designed with advanced protection features. ... This feature eliminates the need for a ...

Reverse-output-voltage protection also is achieved with robust device pin protection. Up to 20 V below ground potential is possible, depending on the device selected.

For instance, if a given pin is stated as “ADC_INPUT GND-0.3V to 5.5V” then that pin is likely protected by just a Zener diode or FET ESD protection structure to ground.

"ESD protection and core circuit co-design are increasingly important in advanced ICs, but conventional diode models do not account for ESD event regimes, during which the device operates under ...

Called STPM801, “the ideal-diode controller drives an external mosfet replacing a Schottky diode conventionally used for reverse-input protection and output-voltage hold-up”, said ST. “When a ...

The new laser diode driver iC-HT permits microcontroller-based activation of laser diodes in CW mode. With this device laser diodes can be driven by either the optical output power (using APC), the ...
