For reliability, the unused handshake signals must be looped back and connected to the request to send (RTS) signal. When the lines are handshake looped, the RTS output from the processor or controller immediately activates the clear to send (CTS) input. In this configuration, the transmitting ...
ESD is considered as a subset of EOS. But EOS may caused also by a wrong application of the IC beyond its absolute maximum voltage or current ratings. In this case the damage of the IC may not happened due to an ESD event. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) ...
For example, after an ESD event, by identifying a pair of spaced conductive structures having the largest separation distance among arced pairs of spaced conductive structures, an overstress voltage associated with the EOS event can be estimated. The trigger voltage associated with each gap can be...
