This application report addresses three key criteria for selecting an ESD device for protecting high-speed signals. As the industry continues to trend towards smaller chipset features sizes to address higher speed data rates, tolerance of transient voltages has continued to shrink as well. Picking the right ESD device the first time is critical to preventing costly board re-spins during EMC testing. By using the three techniques discussed in this paper, device selection can be greatly simplified and streamlined.

In a camera, the lens ensures that light coming from a given point in a scene reaches a given pixel. When an ideal lens is in perfect focus, light coming from a given point in the image will reach a given pixel only. This is an important optical component which enables cameras, including 3D time-of-flight (ToF) cameras, to work. 3D ToF cameras have certain distinct characteristics which have special requirements to be met with while selecting or designing the lenses. This document explains how to decide the specifications for 3D ToF cameras. It also describes how to choose or design lens holders.

This Application Note is a reference guide for the Mounting Hardware of DLP Advanced Light Control (ALC) digital micromirror devices (DMD).

This guide briefly describes the DMD mounting hardware, including figures and tables for each DLP DMD. The figures show mounting concepts with their associated DMD mounting hardware parts. The tables list the individual mounting hardware parts, weblinks to the supplier’s ordering page (if applicable), and weblink to the dedicated “System Mounting Concepts” Application Report. This Quick Reference Guide comprehensively addresses the DMD Specifications and System Mounting Concepts and includes important application design considerations.
