What is ESD electrostatic diode? ESD electrostatic diode, also known as ESD protective tube or electrostatic suppression diode, is an electronic component used to protect electronic devices from damage caused by electrostatic discharge. ESD diodes for electrostatic protection are currently a general trend, especially in the power port application is very wide, because ESD electrostatic diodes compared with traditional insulation preparation of the circuit protective effect advantage is very obvious.


Electrostatic diode has a very low resistance value and fast response time, which can effectively absorb and short circuit the energy of electrostatic discharge, thereby preventing electrostatic damage to electronic equipment. As an IDM enterprise integrating power semiconductor design and manufacturing, Liyang has a comprehensive understanding of ESD electrostatic diodes. Today, we will talk about the composition and application fields of ESD electrostatic diodes with you!

First, ESD electrostatic diode composition:


ESD suppression diodes usually consist of two PN junctions, one of which is forward-biased and the other is reverse-biased. When the electrostatic charge touches the diode, it creates a momentary voltage pulse that breaks down the reverse-biased PN junction, creating a low-impedance path that allows the electrostatic charge to flow safely back to the ground. ESD suppression diodes typically have a high response speed and low crosstalk noise, so they can be used in high-speed data transmission and other noise-sensitive applications.


Second, ESD electrostatic diode application field


ESD suppression diodes are commonly used to protect electronic components and circuit boards, such as integrated circuits, sensors, LED lights, etc. They can also be used to protect electronic devices, such as computers, mobile phones, tablets, etc. In these devices, ESD suppression diodes are often used to protect input/output interfaces, power interfaces, and other sensitive electronic components.


In short, ESD suppression diode is a very important electronic component, it can effectively inhibit electrostatic discharge, protect electronic components and circuit boards. In modern electronic equipment, ESD suppression diodes have become a necessary component, and their applications are more and more extensive.
