USB Type-C® has extended the options for the USB interface
significantly. This versatility comes with an increase of
complexity, especially three main challenges - signal integrity,
system-level ESD robustness and footprint. 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...

Short explanation video (3:31min) about how important system-level protection is for data transmission protocols. Read more...

Short explanation video (2:56min) about best practices for performing surge tests and the importance of the clamping voltage for system-level robustness. Read more...

Short explanation video (1:31min) about what capacitance matching is and why it is important to ESD. Read more...

Short explanation video (1:13min) about why in some cases the clamping voltage is lower than the break down voltage? Read more...

Short explanation video (1:27min) about the importance of the dynamic resistance and how you can gain first insights for the performance with one parameter Read more...

Drivers and vehicles now rely more heavily on Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). However, ADAS in vehicles also relies heavily on high-quality video imagery. As vehicles become more autonomous, the quality of the video streams becomes more important. From a design aspect, high-speed video link design needs to consider how to maintain the signal integrity needed in such a harsh en... Read more...
