Nexperia, the expert in essential semiconductors recently announced an expansion to its award-winning portfolio of automotive ethernet ESD protection devices. The three new devices are AEC-Q101-qualified and IEEE OPEN Alliance 100BASE-T1 and 1000BASE-T1-compliant ElectroStatic Discharge (ESD) protection devices, designed to protect two bus lines from damage caused by ESD and other transients. PESD2ETH1GXT-Q, PESD1ETH1GLS-Q, and…
What are EMS/EMC immunity lab tests?
EMC test is known as Electromagnetic Compatibility, a certification for electronic devices to maintain their limitation of electromagnetic waves. As discussed in the previous article, there are two types of EMC tests – emission (EMI) and immunity (EMS). EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) tests measure the magnetic waves emitted by the device, and EMS (Electromagnetic Susceptibility) tests…
Toshiba launches TVS diode that protects IoT devices
Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation has launched “DF2B6M4BSL,” an ultra-low capacitance TVS diode for high-frequency antennas. The diode protects semiconductors and other electronic components from static electricity and noise while suppressing signal deterioration. Electronic components in the high-frequency antennas used in radio communications, such as Wi-Fi, need to be protected by suppressing high harmonic distortion.…
Renesas introduces 5V transceiver family with industry’s highest EFT immunity
Renesas Electronics Corporation, a supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, introduced the RAA78815x Family of 5V differential RS-485/422 transceivers with electrical fast-transient (EFT) immunity ±5000V and ESD protection up to ±16,000V. These products are the ideal solution for noise-sensitive industrial communication networks. The six new full and half-duplex ruggedized devices meet both the RS-485 and RS-422…
Vishay launches bi-directional, single-line ESD protection diode
Vishay Intertechnology released a new bi-directional asymmetrical (BiAs) single-line ESD protection diode in the compact new DFN1006-2A package with side-wettable terminals. Saving space over solutions in SOT packages, the Vishay Semiconductors VCUT0714BHD1 offers low capacitance and leakage current for the protection of high-speed data lines against transient voltage signals. With its working voltage range of…
