Aragio Solutions offers advanced ESD protection tailored for USB 2.0 and RF applications. Their solutions are crafted to meet stringent ESD requirements, aiming to pass a 4KV ESD threshold using the Human Body Model (HBM). A significant element of this library is its 5-Volt tolerance, designed to deliver high current capacity while maintaining minimal capacitance; this is crucial for demanding data paths and power pads which need to handle over 30mA of DC current at elevated temperatures of up to 125°C.
This ESD solution is essential for safeguarding the integrity of high-speed data transfer and power integrity in modern electronic devices. It utilizes sophisticated ESD protection devices like clamp diodes and Silicon-Controlled Rectifiers (SCRs) that offer ample protection with significantly reduced capacitance. These components work together to ensure robust protection for RF input/output paths and critical data lines, adapting well to varying design specifications.
Beyond its primary focus area, this library is versatile across several technology nodes, supporting implementations from 180nm down to advanced 16nm. This broad compatibility ensures that it can be seamlessly integrated into a wide variety of semiconductor manufacturing processes worldwide.
