What ESD means?

What ESD means?

Electrostatic discharge
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the release of static electricity when two objects come into contact.

Can FD ESD be protected?

For CAN (FD) bus, ESD devices must be short-to-battery and jumpstart robust according to ISO16750-2 (26 V) or internal norms (28 V). Compliance with IEC62228-3 in combination with a CAN transceiver (Emission, Immunity: DPI, Pulses, ESD) is also necessary.

What is meant by ESD protection?

Protection against electrostatic discharges (ESD) is part of EMC Immunity (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) requirements. It is the ability for equipment to properly operate in its electromagnetic environment by limiting the reception of electromagnetic energy that may cause physical damage.

How do you get rid of electrostatic discharge?

Preventing electrostatic discharge

1. Avoid hand contact by transporting and storing products in static-safe containers.
2. Keep electrostatic-sensitive parts in their containers until they arrive at static-protected workstations.
3. Place parts in a static-protected area before removing them from their containers.

What is the other name of ESD?

An electrostatic-sensitive device (often abbreviated ESD) is any component (primarily electrical) which can be damaged by common static charges which build up on people, tools, and other non-conductors or semiconductors. ESD commonly also stands for electrostatic discharge.

CAN ESD be protected?

A bidirectional TVS diode can protect the CAN transceiver bus pins for short overvoltage events. TVS diodes offer the most effective protection against ESD, burst EFT, and surge transients because of short response times of a few picoseconds and power ratings up to several kilowatts.

Can FD be protected?

1 (CAN-FD). This device is based on Zener technology that optimizes the active area of a PN junction to provide robust protection against transient EMI surge voltage and ESD. The ESDONCAN1 has been tested to EMI and ESD levels that exceed the specifications of popular high speed CAN networks.

Why ESD is required?

Protecting electronic devices and components that are sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD) is very important in manufacturing processes or environments. ESD control products are needed in order to prevent damage from the electrical charges that accumulate during critical manufacturing processes.

When should I use ESD protection?

It is essential to apply ESD protection to all stages of the life of equipment from the inception of the design, through the production and testing of the electronics equipment, to its final installation and use.

What is the difference between ESD and TVS diode?

Technically there is no difference between ESD and TVS diodes. They serve the same purpose by shunting large current due to overvoltage to protect integrated circuit. However, TVS diodes are typically a much bigger devices compared to ESD and withstand much higher transient current compared to ESD.
