Protecting Critical Factory Automation Applications Against the Threat From ESD
The digitization of manufacturing and Industry 4.0 has led to the continuous use of ICs for connectivity and data transfer. Popular interfaces like CANFD, USB, and Ethernet play a vital role as they provide a means for operators to monitor, control, and interact with equipment in the factory. As ICs are continuously reducing in size, their robustness also decreases, making them susceptible to threats from ESD. Therefore, having a robust ESD protection devices to protect these ICs is ever more important. This presentation will introduce Nexperia’s ESD Protection solutions for applications for factory automation.
