System level tests on a USB3 controller with on-board protection were found to yield irreproducible failure levels. A root cause analysis was performed using a combination of gun tests, TLP tests, and SEED simulation. It was found that an inductive current distribution between protection and SoC may explain the actual failure levels. Solutions are presented for effective on-board protection of USB3 controller boards.

Design engineers integrate force sensors into medical devices to create smart tools that produce quantifiable data.

Often (very) fast transients have been proven to trigger latch-up. This kind of latch-up is called transient induced latch-up, commonly known as “transient latch-up” (TLU).
