Can ESD be protected?
ESD protection is a critical component in a system design. If a system does not have the correct ESD protection, the high voltage of an ESD strike through an interface connection (for example, the CAN bus) can cause a large current spike to flow directly into the transceiver device causing damage to the transceiver.
Why ESD is required?
Protecting against the effects of electrostatic discharge is an essential requirement for any manufacture, home construction, service, repair and any other area in contact with electronic boards and components. This means that it is essential to protect electronics equipment from the effects of ESD.
What do back to back diodes do?
Back to Back Diodes D4 and D5 are high voltage diodes used to standoff the high voltages that could be present on the input pins and D1 and D2 are used to prevent leakage currents while the input voltages are within the normal operating range.
Can a CAN bus be protected from ESD?
Nexperia’s solutions protect two automotive Controller Area Network (CAN) bus lines from the damage caused by ESD and other transients. They can be used with high-speed and fault-tolerant CAN buses. Selection guide Part Package Size (mm)
What makes USB Type C ESD protection so good?
Superior ESD protection offers increased robustness against ESD and surge pulses, low clamping/ dynamic resistance to protect system devices and, finally, low capacitance to maintain excellent signal integrity in high-speed interfaces such as USB Type-C or
