For many decades, Ethernet has been used in industrial and computing networks. But nowadays it’s increasingly deployed in automotive applications as a replacement for legacy networks like controller ...

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 ...

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 ...

A year ago, I’ve design reviewed an MCU module for CAN hacking, called TinySparrow. Modules are plenty cool, and even more so when they’re intended for remaking car ECUs. For a while ...

Maintaining signal integrity in automotive high-speed video link designs is key. Drivers and vehicles now rely more heavily on Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). While the use of systems such ...

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 ...

Suited for mobile phones and PC applications, the LXES Series of silicon-based ESD-protection devices are intended for protection of electronic equipment from electrostatic discharges (ESD). A high ...

These devices provide optimised protection for AC-coupled radio-frequency (RF) transmission lines against electrostatic discharge (ESD) events, surge currents and short circuit conditions. These ...

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 ...

Tablets, laptop PCs and game consoles minimize transfer times for video data or large files by using 10Gbps or 48Gbps high speed communication standards. With the increasing miniaturization of the ...

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 ...
