With the pervasiveness of power management techniques like clock gating and power gating, transient power is on the rise, accompanied by the requirement to closely examine a system for such phenomenon ...

ESD events that damage semiconductor devices come from people, from handlers and sorters, or from a device itself if it obtains sufficient static charge. ESD circuit designers add protection circuits ...

A study to evaluate the applicability of IEC-61000-4-2 testing at the semiconductor device level finds that results depend more on variations in test setup than in ESD sensitivity. Donna Robinson-Hahn ...
