Quick Circuit Tips #1 – ESD Protection – KiCad

ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) is the uncontrolled discharge of static electricity onto a device. When a person builds up static, then touches a component an electrical discharge occurs. When designing a circuit, it is crucial to consider ESD early on to prevent catastrophic circuit damage. In this video, I delve into some common methods to protect circuit boards. It is important to understand that there are many different ways to achieve this. It usually is a balancing act between cost and performance.
