Protections and EMI filters

Integrated circuits are exposed to several possible sources of stress coming from power and or data lines which can result in malfunctions or even lead to dramatic failures. To ensure that these circuits are remain reliable and operate correctly, it is important to include protection mechanisms.
ST's Protection and EMI filter portfolio offers a unique and comprehensive choice of high-performance components to ensure safe electronic system operation and immunity from electromagnetic interference (EMI).

STProtect

Produced with ST's technologies, they ensure the best protection and filtering performance for demanding systems.

Our solutions are housed in industry standard packages in addition to cost-effective alternatives such as high-power-density packages for transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diodes, ultra-small and multi-line WLCSP devices for ESD and EMI filters.

From 5000 W SMC packages to 01005 and smaller, we help engineers with design simplification, space savings and cost optimization.

Our ASIP technology enables the horizontal integration of passive components into high-reliability silicon circuits and is compatible with the latest vertical integration trends such as SIP (System In Package) systems thanks to ultra-thin packages down to 80 µm.

Automotive-grade qualification for smart mobility applications

Automotive grade qualification (AEC Q101) and Automotive surge compatibility is available for our Automotive line-up that is rapidly expanding to meet the latest EV and Autonomous driving challenges.

All ST production sites adhere to the internationally recognized quality management standards ISO 9001 and IATF (international Automotive Task Force) 16949.

Product types:

EMI Filter logo with waves that flatten
An EMI filter helps electronic circuits work better by blocking unwanted signals from other circuits nearby and preventing them from causing problems. It also stops the circuits from making noise that could disturb other components.
ESD Protection logo
ESD protection is required for EMC Immunity. It ensures that equipment can work properly in its environment by reducing the amount of electromagnetic energy that could cause physical damage.
Thyristor surge suppressor logo
When a TVS is not strong enough to ensure compliance with required standards, a TSS is added to prevent overvoltages or power surges from damaging power supplies.
Transient voltage suppressors with the TVS logo
A TVS is a special type of diode designed to protect circuits against power surges. ST's Transil™ protection devices can handle high current surges for a short time.
