Silicon-controlled rectifiers (SCRs) are interesting devices that can be used for on-chip ESD protection, if (and only if) they are properly designed and biased. SCRs ...

» New advances in materials often improve performance or reliability, but these characteristics can sometimes run counter to the needs of people who must control electrostatic discharge (ESD) events.

Since the 1980s, static-protective packaging has been classified and tested by EIA-541-1988 and its predecessor, IS5A. This first effort to encompass all types of ESD-protective packaging classified ...

Static-dissipative plastics offer special properties that help keep sensitive electronics from harm. Manufacturers of electronic devices ideally want an electrostatic-free environment for components.
