EC631 - ESD Protection USB 2.0 Data Lines
This technical brief covers how Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 products (PCI adapter cards, digital cameras, peripherals, etc.) can be susceptible to ESD events when the cable is disconnected from the data port. The ESD pulse can be introduced directly into the open port, or into the disconnected end of the cable and the integrated circuitry that controls the USB functionality can be compromised.
EC630 - ESD Protection USB 1.1 Data Lines
This technical brief covers how Universal Serial Bus (USB) products (PCI adapter cards, digital cameras, peripherals, etc.) can be susceptible to ESD events when the cable is disconnected from the data port. The ESD pulse can be introduced directly into the open port, or into the disconnected end of the cable and the integrated circuitry that controls the USB functionality can be compromised.
EC629 - ESD Protection InfiniBandSM Data Lines
This technical brief covers how InfiniBand products (servers, adapters, switches, storage units, etc.) can be susceptible to ESD events when the cable is either connected or disconnected from the data port. An ESD pulse (up to 15 kV per IEC 61000-4-2) can be introduced directly into the open port, or into the disconnected end of the cable and the integrated circuitry that controls the InfiniBand functionality can be damaged.
EC628 - ESD Protection IEEE 1394 Data Lines
This technical brief discusses how IEEE 1394 products (PCI adapter cards, hubs/routers, etc.) can be susceptible to ESD events when the cable is disconnected from the data port and how the integrated circuitry that controls the IEEE 1394 functionality can be compromised.
EC633 - ESD Protection Ethernet Data Lines
This technical brief covers how Ethernet products (PCI adapter cards, hubs/routers, etc.) can be susceptible to ESD events when the cable is disconnected from the Ethernet port. The ESD pulse can be introduced directly into the open port, or into the disconnected end of the cable and the integrated circuitry that controls the Ethernet functionality can be compromised.
EC627 - ESD Protection Digital Visual Interface Data Lines
This technical brief covers the Digital Visual Interface (DVI) products (source and display units) how how then can become susceptible to ESD events when the cable is disconnected from the data port and how the integrated circuitry that controls the DVI system functionality can be compromised.
EC626 - ESD Protection Cradles and Docking Stations
This technical brief covers how docking cradles are becoming commonplace with the increase in portable devices such as PDA’s, digital camera’s, Internet appliances and laptop computers and how, without sufficient ESD protection, the cradle's onboard interface chip can be rendered inoperable.
EC625 - ESD Protection Audio Input and Output Lines
The purpose of this application brief is to detail audio port protection and discuss how these ports are sensitive to both external and internal sources of overvoltage transients in the form of external electro-static Discharge (ESD) or internally generated electrical fast transients (EFT).
