PANJIT’s ultra-low capacitance ESD protection devices earned significant recognition among engineers.

TAIPEI, Jan. 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — As artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC) applications expand rapidly, the demand for higher data transmission rates has surged. This trend has brought heightened attention to the security of high-speed transmission interfaces. With over 38 years of experience in the semiconductor industry, PANJIT International Inc. has identified the growing safety requirements as transmission speeds double with each generation. Ultra-low capacitance ESD protection devices have become more critical than ever to address these challenges.

Leveraging proprietary component designs and innovative packaging technologies, PANJIT has introduced ultra-low capacitance ESD protection devices offering compact size and robust protection. These devices have earned significant recognition among engineers, securing the prestigious “Best Discrete of the Year” award at this year’s EE Awards Asia, organized by EE Times Taiwan.

Exceptional Protection and Compact Design: The Advantages of PANJIT’s ESD Protection Devices

Speaking about the award-winning ESD protection device, Edgar Chen, COO of PANJIT International Inc., explained the company’s motivation for entering this segment. PANJIT had traditionally focused on high-power protection devices, with limited emphasis on ESD protection for signal ports. However, as high-speed interfaces like USB4, Thunderbolt 5, and PCIe Gen 6 doubling transmission speeds each generation, challenges related to signal attenuation and ESD protection have intensified. Advanced process chips are becoming increasingly miniaturized, exacerbating ESD protection issues.

Chen stated, “To provide customers with a more comprehensive solution, PANJIT not only has extensive experience in high-power protection components but is now actively expanding its product line to include high-seepd signal port ESD protection.” Recognizing the growing importance and market potential of ESD protection devices, PANJIT shifted its design platform to prioritize ESD protection for high-speed signal ports, complementing its existing high-power protection products. This comprehensive “Total Solution” strategy helps engineers address current and future challenges.

Years of research and optimization have enabled PANJIT to overcome traditional trade-offs in ESD protection design through patented technologies. Engineers no longer need to compromise between protection capabilities, parasitic capacitance, and component size. Amanda Cheng, Business Development Manager at PANJIT, highlighted the three critical parameters where the company’s ESD protection devices excel:

Capacitance: The ultra-low capacitance ensures signal integrity, preventing high-speed signal distortion and communication failures.

Clamping Voltage: Despite its minimal capacitance, the device maintains low clamping voltage, effectively dissipating ESD energy and offering superior protection.

Surge Protection: PANJIT’s devices uniquely combine low capacitance with high surge protection, addressing both ESD and EOS (Electrical Overstress) challenges. This capability reduces EOS-related RMA rates and enhances product reliability.

Cheng emphasized that as transmission speeds increase, capacitance has become a decisive factor for customers. PANJIT is already preparing for the next generation with capacitance targets as low as 0.05pF while maintaining low clamping voltage for optimal chip protection. The company’s holistic approach, from market research and product design to wafer and packaging processes, along with close collaboration with partners, has been instrumental in achieving these breakthroughs.

Miniaturization and Integration: Driving ESD Device Evolution

Another standout feature of PANJIT’s ESD protection devices is their compact size. “As end devices become increasingly miniaturized, so do transmission interface connectors and internal components,” said Cheng. While the current mainstream size for ESD protection devices is 0402, PANJIT is advancing toward even smaller sizes, such as 0201 and 01005. Integration is also a promising trend, as demonstrated by the award-winning ultra-low capacitance ESD protection device, which is an integrated product.

PANJIT’s innovative ESD protection devices continue to set new industry standards, raising the bar for market entry. The “Best Discrete of the Year” award at EE Awards Asia reflects this achievement. “Our highest standard when developing products is to avoid me-too designs,” said Chen. “We aim to create the most competitive products in the market. Compared to our competitors, this ESD protection device’s performance parameters are truly impressive.”

Future-Ready Development to Meet Customer Needs

Based on deep market insights, PANJIT has outlined a comprehensive development roadmap for its ESD protection and other product lines. Chen emphasized PANJIT’s proactive strategy in anticipating market and customer needs. Future ESD protection devices will evolve toward smaller sizes, lower capacitance, greater protection, and lower clamping voltage, while maintaining high flexibility. “We prepare our product specifications well in advance and provide early samples for customer testing, ensuring we stay ahead of competitors,” Chen added with a sense of optimism.

Currently, ESD protection devices contribute only 4% of PANJIT’s total revenue. However, Chen foresees significant growth potential in this market. PANJIT plans to expand both domestic and international markets with superior products and skilled technical personnel. Many customers have already integrated PANJIT’s ESD protection devices into their designs, with mass production scheduled for next year. Chen expressed confidence that the ESD product line will achieve remarkable success in the coming year.

Reimagined from the ground up, HumanView pairs statistical modeling with expert analysts to turn millions of real-world customer signals into business decisions

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LEAP Group today announced the relaunch of HumanView, its growth intelligence service. The new version has been rebuilt from the ground up and now has a dedicated home at leapgroupnetwork.com/humanview.

HumanView analyzes what customers say and do across social platforms, e-commerce sites, review platforms, search behavior and user-generated content, including signals from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, Meta, Amazon and Walmart+ that general AI tools cannot always access. Because the data reflects unprompted, real-world behavior, it avoids the response bias built into surveys and focus groups.

The service works in three layers. HumanView captures signals at scale, decodes millions of records through validated statistical models such as regression, correlation and clustering, and then relies on experienced analysts to interpret the patterns. Clients receive clear, human-validated insights instead of another dashboard.

“Machines find the patterns. Humans find the point,” said Alan Gilleo, CEO at LEAP Group. “The first version of HumanView showed us how much customers reveal when nobody is asking them questions. This version is built to explain why they act the way they do, and to put those answers in front of everyone making decisions, from product to service to marketing.”

HumanView focuses on three areas:

Growth Intelligence: customer motivations and how people perceive a brand and its competitors

Market and Category Intelligence: product pain points, service friction, unmet needs and competitive gaps

Audience Intelligence: new segments, positioning opportunities and gaps in the market

Every model is designed and validated by data scientists and benchmarked before it informs a recommendation.

NEW YORK, Oct. 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Stephen A. Smith, media mogul, New York Times bestselling author, and proud 1991 graduate of Winston-Salem State University, is addressing the public discussion surrounding his decision to attend a White House dinner with President Donald Trump, emphasizing his commitment to the long-term financial stability of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

For Smith, the decision was rooted in a commitment to institutions that have educated generations of Black leaders, professionals, entrepreneurs, and public servants.

“I will always advocate for HBCUs and the students whose futures depend on them,” Smith said. “My reason for attending the White House dinner was to discuss the challenges these institutions face in securing long-term funding and to make the case that corporate America must continue to invest in them.”

Smith acknowledged federal support through the FUTURE Act while expressing concern that political tensions surrounding diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) could discourage private companies from supporting HBCUs. He maintains that these institutions deserve sustained corporate partnerships, philanthropic contributions, and public investment.

“If we truly believe in free-market capitalism, businesses should be able to support educational institutions and charitable causes without fear of criticism or repercussions,” Smith said. “HBCUs have made extraordinary contributions to this country. They deserve sustained public and private investment.”

Ashley Christopher, Esq., Founder and CEO of the HBCU Week Foundation, recognized Smith’s advocacy and decision to engage with the administration.

“Stephen A. Smith has been a powerful advocate for HBCUs, using his platform and influence to shine a national spotlight on our institutions,” expressed Christopher, “His continued support of HBCU Week helps advance our mission of connecting students with life-changing educational opportunities, and we are proud to have him as our ambassador.”

Since Smith became an HBCU Week Ambassador in 2019, the initiative has facilitated more than 15,000 on-the-spot college acceptances and raised and awarded more than $150 million in scholarships, according to the HBCU Week Foundation.

As public discussion continues, Smith is emphasizing the importance of ensuring HBCUs have the resources and partnerships needed to educate future generations and expand opportunities for students.
