Littelfuse has expanded the range of circuit protection devices included in its iDesign online simulation and product selection tool.
First introduced in April 2014, this robust web-based tool now includes an ESD selection tool that helps circuit designers choose from the company’s growing line of TVS Diode Arrays (branded as SPA silicon protection arrays). These devices are designed to protect electronics from very fast and often damaging voltage transients, such as electrostatic discharge (ESD) and lightning-induced surges.
The iDesign platform offers a fast, intuitive way to identify the best component for an application, find parts documentation, and order part samples for prototyping. The tools it provides walk users through the component selection process, quickly winnowing the available options based on the application parameters input.
Users of the ESD selection tool can enter parameters on the System Settings and Device Settings pages, then select from up to three devices to compare on the Device Selection page. An Analysis page allows running simulations that compare the system ESD levels of the selected devices, quickly identifying which one can offer the most robust performance for the application, as well as each device’s best-case performance.
Circuit designers can register to create a free online account to access the platform, via the iDesign link under the Technical Resources tab on the Littelfuse website (www.littelfuse.com). The platform’s flexibility enables Littelfuse to incorporate additional circuit protection devices in the future, so users will always be designing with the latest technologies.

As soon as electronics and electrical systems started interfering with each other, the world had to come to some consensus. Considering physics is universal and does not care about what country electrical/electronic products are used in, it should be the same everywhere, right? It is nearly there, but not quite.
