Ensure robust ESD protection for your design. Follow the IEC61000-4-2 standard and explore now TLP testing for valuable insights. Read more...

This article discusses various automotive Ethernet standards before considering the stringent electrostatic protection (ESD) and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards they are required to comply with. Finally, it presents a range of components from Nexperia which automotive OEMs can use to ensure that vehicle networks are fully protected against ESD events. Read more...

Short explanation video (2:48min) that shows why ESD protection for data lines with several Gbps should be chosen by S-parameters rather than device capacitance. Read more...

Engineers can optimize the efficiency of their power designs by carefully selecting the correct type of recovery rectifier diode. For the 200 V domain, Nexperia’s high-end hyper-fast PNE series can make the difference in switch-mode power supplies. In this article, a DC-DC converter is used to demonstrate the difference the diode could make. Read more...
