Fundamentals of ESD protection in Electronic Designs

About the webinar

This on-demand webinar offers a comprehensive introduction to Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection in electronic designs. It covers essential industry standards and testing methods, providing a strong foundation for understanding how to safeguard electronic components from ESD-related damage.

It explores the Transmission Line Pulse (TLP) characterization method and its practical applications, examines various ESD protection technologies and their unique behaviors, and explains the importance of key datasheet parameters. To support effective implementation, the webinar also shares practical tips on PCB layout and routing techniques that enhance ESD protection.

As part of a broader series, this recording sets the stage for upcoming webinars that will take a deeper look into Ethernet for automotive ESD protection and the latest advancements in Flip-Chip package technology.
