Toshiba has launched WCSP4 (0.79×0.79mm, 0.4mm pitch) packaged "DF4D7M2G" electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection diode to protect high-speed wire interface such as USB 3.0 and RF antennas from ESD.

Traditional methods of ESD protection like diodes and metal-oxide varistors are unsuitable in these... The emergence of high-speed data protocols such as USB 2.0 has created the need for ESD ...

TVS diodes will respond to the transient faster ... mainly the consideration of the on-chip ESD protection structures. Consider the circuit shown in Figure 3. This diagram shows a dataline connected ...

"ESD protection and core circuit co-design are increasingly important in advanced ICs, but conventional diode models do not account for ESD event regimes, during which the device operates under ...
