We invite you to explore and enjoy the revised and updated edition of our “ESD Application Handbook”. This latest addition to our library of design guides demonstrates our commitment to ensuring that the information we provide is as up-to-date and relevant as possible, so that it more fully addresses the ever-changing ESD protection challenge faced by engineers engaged in designing increasingly complex systems. The scope of this handbook has been broadened to cover applications in key mobile, consumer, automotive as well as industrial markets. This second edition now also includes vital new chapters on packaging and various aspects of quality, relevant updates which help to set this text apart as a unique and industry-leading design resource in the area of ESD protection.
Like all our Design Engineer’s Guides, this Handbook is intended to be a practical, comprehensive, and up-to-date reference work written by engineers for engineers.

An essential resource by engineers for engineers: ESD Application Handbook
Over the course of several decades, Nexperia has accumulated vast expertise in the design and manufacture of ESD protection devices as part of its broad portfolio of discrete, logic, and MOSFET products. 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. Readers of this handbook can harness this expertise to help them decide on the type of ESD protection that is most appropriate for their application.
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.
This latest reference work represents the collected knowledge of some of our industry’s most respected experts.
