Protecting MCU I O Lines from ESD and Other Transients

Protecting MCU I/O Lines from ESD and Other Transients

To do something useful, a microcontroller (MCU) must be connected to other devices. This connection is made through input/output (I/O) pins. More times than not, these days pins are multifunctional and can connect to A/Ds, D/As, linear functions (such as op amps and comparators), voltage references, and more. So for the design engineer, protecting these […]
