I'm dealing with ESD for automotive applications. Some truck drivers are loving that flurry seat covers in winter that builds up tons of Kilovolts...
I'm trying to find some reliable information about spark gap design. Although is not the thing, it cost nothing to implement on a PCB.
Along with other protections, it helps to keep cost down.
And with some I/O's we cannot add high resistors values to limit current spikes...
But I'm also wandering if it's good practice in automotive environment where we often have high humidity conditions.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thank's!
Louis.
