A recent query on this forum asked about the relative effectiveness of capacitors versus diodes for Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection. These are just two of over 220 topics covered in my article, "Designing Electronic Equipment for ESD Immunity", which I wrote for Printed Circuit Design magazine: * Part I at http://www.pcdmag.com/story/OEG20010928S0122 (July 2001 issue). * Part II at http://www.pcdmag.com/redux/0701_esd.html (posted on www.pcdmag.com in November 2001). I had hopes that the magazine would put the bibliography for the article on their website, so that it would be freely available to anyone who needed it. So far they haven't. But Lexmark has given me an opportunity (and some substantial incentives) to take a Pre-Retirement Leave of Absence, which is supposed to start in February. One of my projects, to keep myself active and out of trouble, is creating a website on Robust Electronic Design-- how to develop electronic equipment and electronic products that: 1. Work safely and reliably. 2. Can be manufactured economically. 3. May be marketed and used worldwide. 4. Can be easily adapted to meet new or unforeseen requirements. My web-hosting contract provides for plenty of disk space and for several gigabytes of data transfers each month under the basic rate. I've also added about 100 documents to my collection since I wrote the article. So I've put my current ESD bibliography on the website in three pieces: * http://www.r-e-d-inc.com/esd-anno.htm a partially annotated bibliography on ESD, covering nearly 1480 source documents (I work on this as I have time). * http://www.r-e-d-inc.com/esd-term.htm 220+ terms under which I found information on the subject, with the key words and key phrases I used in the annotated bibliography. * http://www.r-e-d-inc.com/esd-want.htm magazines, journals, and conference proceedings that have had one or more papers/articles on the subject. This last webpage is also my search list, listing documents that I have seen cited in the literature but so far have been unable to locate. I would appreciate any leads you may have as to libraries or personal collections from which I could get copies of these. Enjoy!
