Event Title: Introduction to Electromagnetic Compatibility at Missouri S&T - Ensuring Products are Immune to Electrostatic Discharge

Abstract:
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is a common cause of failures in electronic products. Ensuring that ESD protection strategies adequately protect the device is challenging, particularly in the early stages of the design process. Methods of modeling the ESD protection to ensure adequate protection will be presented in this talk, with an emphasis on the modeling of the transient voltage suppressor (TVS). TVS are commonly a centerpiece of ESD protection strategies. Examples of their use in system-level ESD simulations will be included. A brief introduction to the Electromagnetic Compatibility Laboratory at the Missouri University of Science and Technology will also be given.
