When the system-level electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is insufficient and optimization tips don’t yield desired results, it is important to focus on selecting the right external ESD protection for the specific integrated circuit (IC) being used.
Join Martin in the last of our latest ESD series as he demonstrates how to determine the maximum voltage the IC can handle and understand the characteristics of its internal ESD protection. TLP (Transmission Line Pulse) testing can be used to measure these characteristics and identify failure levels. By overlaying the TLP characteristics of the IC with those of external protection devices, different scenarios can be analyzed to determine the most effective protection solution.
