ABOUT THIS GUIDE Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) is an electrical transient that poses a serious threat to electronic circuits. The most common cause is friction between two dissimilar materials, causing a buildup of electric charges on their surfaces. Typically, one of the surfaces is the human body, and it is not uncommon for this static charge to reach a potential as high as 15,000 volts. At 6,000 static volts, an ESD event will be painful to a person. Lower voltage discharges may go unnoticed, but can still cause catastrophic damage to electronic components and circuits. Choosing the most...

ESD Suppressor Product Selection Guide Soft Failures Electrical currents due to ESD can change the state of internal logic, causing a system to latch up or behave unpredictably, or cause corruption of a data stream. While this is temporary, it may slow down communications, or require a system reboot in the case of lockup. ESD is characterized by fast rise times and high peak voltages and currents up to 30 amps (per IEC 61000-4-2, level 4), which can melt silicon and conductor traces. However, ESD effects can be more subtle. The three types of damage are: Latent Defects A component or...

DATA PROTOCOL, APPLICATION AND PRODUCT SELECTION The chart below shows the relationship between Data Rates (Protocol), Applications, and Littelfuse ESD suppression products. The top of the chart shows the standard data protocols, associated data rates, and example end applications that may use the protocols, while the body of the chart shows the applicable Littelfuse ESD suppressors for the various data rates, protocols and applications. The characteristic of concern here is capacitance. High capacitance suppression devices will tend to add signal distortion as signal frequencies increase;...
