Abstract :
Microelectronic circuits are often damaged by surges. Surge protection for microelectronic circuits has some special requirements different from those for electrical equipment. The approach that the surge invades into microelectronic circuits is studied. The surge withstand capability of some typical serial communication integrate chips, the behaviors of voltage limiting components, and the influence of the connecting capacitance of voltage clamping device on digital signals are studied. A design method of surge suppressor for communication systems is proposed.
