ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) is the uncontrolled discharge of static electricity onto a device. When a person builds up static, then touches a component an electrical discharge occurs. When designing a circuit, it is crucial to consider ESD early on to prevent catastrophic circuit damage. In this video, I delve into some common methods to protect circuit boards. It is important to understand that there are many different ways to achieve this. It usually is a balancing act between cost and performance.

I recently began a livestream series on the MicroType Engineering YouTube channel. It is called the “Live Lecture Series”. The theme of this series, as you can guess from the title, is to go into a specific topic in a livestream format. The second topic that I cover is “Designing ESD Protection Circuits”. Users submit questions to an online form that I go over and answer at the end of the lecture. I am always
