Why is ESD Protection Needed??

Size Reductions in IC Outlines/Line Spacings
 Historically ICs dedicated die space for ESD protection but the incredible
reduction in die sizes in recent years has dramatically increased the value of
the die space.
 Transient Voltage Suppresser
(TVS) diodes are designed to
protect the IC from ESD damage
by shunting dangerous currents
away from sensitive ICs.
