  3 approaches to handle EOS ‘requirements’

  EOS, or Electrical Overstress, is any electrical stress that exceeds any of the specified absolute maximum ratings (AMR) of a product. It is important to discuss because many products are damaged this way. This article includes case studies and 3 approaches to handle those requests.

  ESD clamps for high voltage, BCD processes

  Some applications really need high voltage interfaces and circuits. Think about power management and power conversion chips, automotive electronics for engine control, LCD or OLED display driver chips, motor driver electronics and industrial applications. These high voltage applications require other ESD protection clamps compared to the clamps used for protection…
