We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "ESD protection",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Transmitter module saves space and power from
RF Micro Devices, which we summarised at the time by saying "Dual-band transmit module features two symmetrical receive ports, 50ohm matched input and output ports and GSM/GPRS Class 12 compliance".
Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release HDMI connector range has a new dimension from
Kycon: "Vertical and the stacked connectors enable the next generation interface for end consumer products such as digital televisions, set-top boxes and DVD players".
In February 2008, we covered the news from STMicroelectronics
concerning its EMIF01-1003M3 and EMIF02-1003M6
- take a look at Compact protectors cover ESD and EMI
which says: "Both devices meet IEC61000-4-2 level 4 for ESD protection and feature low line-to-earth capacitance of 30pF to preserve high-speed signal integrity".
Take a look also at the news release from California Micro Devices, ESD protection device maintains signal integrity,
as well as Controllers protect USB interfaces from Maxim Integrated Products,
and Varistors protect CANs from ESD from AVX.
