ESD (Electrostatic discharge)
Semiconductor devices are susceptible to damage by ESD. Suitable precautions should be taken when handling and transporting devices. The
possible damage to devices depends on the circumstances of the handling and transporting, and the nature of the device. The extent of damage
can vary from immediate functional or parametric malfunction to degradation of function or performance in use over time. Devices suspected of
being affected should be replaced.
Green compliance
Zetex Semiconductors is committed to environmental excellence in all aspects of its operations which includes meeting or exceeding regulatory
requirements with respect to the use of hazardous substances. Numerous successful programs have been implemented to reduce the use of
hazardous substances and/or emissions.
