Simulation & selection tool targets ESD defense

The iDesign online simulation and product selection tool now includes an ESD selection tool for TVS diode arrays, along with fuse devices. The web site offers a fast, intuitive way to identify the best component for an application, find parts documentation, and order samples.

Users can enter parameters on the system settings and device settings pages, then select from up to three devices to compare on the device selection page. An analysis page allows running simulations that compare the system ESD levels of the selected devices. The Pesto ESD simulation models created for iDesign are from independent measurements following the ESD Industry Council's proven SEED (System Efficient ESD Design) methodology.
