CDE Modeling Using Star-Tree Impedance Networks for USB2 Cable

Simple star-tree networks, as shown here for USB2, should have wide applicability for cables carrying fast signals.

ESD Control

Ohm’s Law Also Applies to ESD‑Induced Heat Pulses

Heat flow analysis for semiconductor ESD situations can be approximated to one dimension, and then captured with a generalized Ohm’s Law using a complex impedance. Methods can include time-dependent electrothermal pulses and feedback due to self-heating, with solutions readily carried out on any desktop computer.
