IISc-Samsung partner for R&D in Electrostatic Discharge Protection

News: Electromagnetic waves are shielded from the device by electrostatic discharge protection. The most crucial aspect of electromagnetic compatibility is it (EMC). To receive certification as electromagnetically safe, every piece of electronic equipment must pass the EMC test. It denotes that it neither receives EM waves nor generates EM waves (that may affect other devices). To conduct research on electrostatic discharge protection, Samsung has teamed up with IISc.

Electrostatic discharge

• It is the unexpected movement of electrons among things. An electrical short occurs when the electrostatic discharge is high, and a lot of current flows between the objects. The object is harmed by this current. What source does this electron have? Even though the chip’s circuit is closed and its wires are protected, the question of where the electrons come from naturally arises. These electrons were produced by the circuit’s electromagnetic waves. Electromagnetic waves are produced by the high current and transceiver circuits. Electrons are created by the wave.

• IISc and Samsung will figure out how to prevent electrostatic discharge from damaging the equipment. In PCBs used in electronic gadgets like laptops and cell phones, the discharge is fairly high. The size of electrical components is now decreasing due to the rapid advancement of nanotechnology. As a result, it is necessary to position the components close to one another. This makes protecting against electrostatic discharge more difficult. The businesses will search for ways to shield PCBs from electrostatic discharge.
