Join us for a 45-minute ESD First Aid Tutorial focused on selecting the right TVS (Transient Voltage Suppressor) protection device, followed by a 15-minute Q&A session. This presentation will guide attendees through a systematic approach using the SEED (System Efficient ESD Design) methodology to enhance ESD robustness. We will address common misunderstandings about TVS protection, covering device characterization, protection schemes, layout considerations, and the significance of datasheet parameters. Attendees will learn about current sharing dynamics between TVS devices and ASICs, the role of simulation and emulation, and how to optimize cost, performance, and robustness in selecting protection devices. This comprehensive tutorial aims to equip designers with the knowledge to make informed decisions and effectively safeguard their systems against ESD events.
