Why Is ESD Protection Important?

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage sensitive semiconductor junctions during handling, assembly, and field use. Protection devices help clamp transient energy before it reaches core ICs.

CTK manufactures a broad ESD and TVS portfolio for USB, HDMI, antenna, power-line, and general I/O protection in portable, automotive, and industrial designs.

Selecting the right clamping voltage, capacitance, and package is critical for signal integrity and long-term product reliability.
