Description

Industrial networks must operate reliably in harsh environments. Electrical over-stress transients caused by electrostatic discharge switching of inductive loads or lightning strikes will corrupt data transmission and damage bus transceivers unless effective measures are taken to diminish transient impact.This article gives an overview of the three most commonly applied transient immunity t
