The Nexperia library of Design Engineer’s Guides provide a technical encyclopedia to help you optimize your electronic designs. A collection of technical and application insights ‘from engineer to engineer’, we share expertise and learnings that Nexperia’s engineering teams have built up over many years of helping customers in a variety of sectors take their applications from initial concept, though prototyping and on into final production.
Logic & Signal Chain Application Handbook: Practical design guidance for embedded systems
As embedded applications become more compact, power-efficient and connected, engineers face growing challenges in signal integrity, power management and interfacing. Drawing on more than 60 years of Nexperia logic expertise, this handbook combines design knowledge and application insights that go beyond data sheets. It shows how logic and signal chain devices can improve system performance and simplify designs in industrial, automotive, consumer and communications applications.
ESD Application Handbook: Protection concepts, testing and simulation
Nexperia's ESD protection technologies have evolved with the trends towards miniaturization and offer the highest level of protection in the industry's smallest packages, with minimal impact on signal integrity. This book provides information about the physical layers for selected data interfaces used in mobile, computing, and consumer applications as well as for interfaces used in automotive applications. These physical layer specifications are relevant for selecting suitable ESD protection devices, maintaining signal integrity, and choosing a suitable topology that respects the signal levels and the structure of drivers and receivers.
Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) Application Handbook
Today, billions of NPN and PNP bipolar junction transistors are used in a diverse range of applications. The microelectronics industry has experienced massive innovation, which has resulted in minute device structures, nonetheless, discrete BJTs still maintain their relevance. These humble devices have themselves continue to evolve, with newer materials like silicon carbide now enabling environmentally sensitive electric vehicles that meet the performance and range requirements customers expect. This handbook is intended as a ‘go-to’ reference, for those looking for technical information, fundamentals and design ideas.
Diode Application Handbook: Fundamentals, Characteristics, Applications
The humble diode, developed over 100 years ago, has undergone a transformation very few could have predicted. Not only has this ubiquitous electronic building block come a long way, so have the considerations and implications of its usage. Joining Nexperia's library of Design Engineer’s Guides as an essential reference work, this handbook details practical solutions to real world problems faced by engineers. It discusses available diodes, their technological fundamentals, latest developments and application insights. Serving as a technical dictionary as well as providing orientation for the plentiful considerations of the design process. This guide offers comprehensive and practical knowledge with applicable formulas and circuits to its reader.
MOSFET and GaN FET Application Handbook: Power Design Engineers Guide
The second edition to the hugely popular MOSFET application handbook, this unique collection of technical materials and application notes provides essential and up-to-date information for anybody tasked with integrating MOSFETs and GaN FETs into real-world systems. Providing useful guidance on common topics and issues that the design engineer is likely to encounter. By providing insight into their sometimes confusing and complex behaviour – including information necessary to solve common problems and avoid potential pitfalls – Nexperia’s belief is that the Handbook will become a ‘go-to’ reference for anybody tasked with delivering optimized power and small-signal switching, power conversion and power management.
