System immunity against Electrostatic Discharges (ESD)
 |
|
Electrostatic discharges (ESD) are one of the major root causes of product quality returns in electronic applications. Learn how to protect your system against Electrostatic Discharges in industrial and automotive environments..
During this one-hour webinar, you will learn how to use ST’s ESD Protection components in order to make electronic systems more robust and avoid facing destructive ESD.
Electronic systems have several potential entry points which can lead to ESD (such as connectors, antennas, buttons, etc.) and therefore must be protected using a component which does not impact the system’s signal or power integrity.
ST’s ESD protections feature high efficiency and avoid integrated circuits’ destruction or weakening after an ESD. Thanks to its advanced patented silicon technology and design structure, ST has become a worldwide leader in ESD protection markets. ST's protection components are used in major Tier1 OEM and mass market customers’ devices worldwide, reaching a yearly shipped volume of over 6 billion units.
Aware that issues linked to EMC immunity are most of the time very hard to tackle and often solved after a long learning curve, ST’s engineers will share their knowledge, coming from practical experience gained after looking into ESD protections in a wide range of applications (industrial, automotive and personal electronics) implemented by our customers worldwide.
During this webinar you will learn
- About ESD major root causes and EMC standards.
- How ST’s ESD protection devices can help protect applications against ESD.
- Why it is important to integrate ESD protection components in your design, with real application examples
- How to select the best protection for your use case.
Agenda
- The importance of protecting electronic systems against ESD - why an external protection is required
- The Key parameters to consider when selecting an ESD protection
- Application examples
The webinar will be followed by a live Q&A session where ST’s experienced engineers will be available to answer your questions.
