Ethernet ESD protection between connector and magnetic transformer, bidirectional or unidirectional?
The TI design has an error anyway, so the part being unidirectional or bidirectional is irrelevant in that example.
As Ethernet is a transformer coupled isolated interface, the connector side of ...

High ESD voltage but low input voltage?
ESD is not rated as a fixed voltage, but is a type rating. Included in the standard[1], is the peak or initial voltage, the waveform (within some tolerance) into a standard (resistive termination) ...

High ESD voltage but low input voltage?
The ESD rating is for brief incidental pulses from static electricity. They are shunted away from the sensitive parts of the chip by a network of diodes to the supply rails. A common configuration is ...

TVS Diode Clamping voltage less than breakdown voltage
A TVS diode with snapback behaviour has different semiconductor structure than a "regular" TVS.
Regular TVS uses a P-N junction or actually many of those.
Snapback TVS is structured almost ...

Does a the USB line for a ESP32-S3 require ESD protection?
Required is a strong word. It will work without protection, however best practice would include it.
USB will have connecting and disconnecting making it a particularly prone area to possibly damaging ...

Which one is correct ( better ) for ESD Protection? Chassis or Signal Ground
For regular ESD requirements, this should be enough:
Connect chassis to signal ground at some carefully picked location. It might depend on the nature of the product, either do this inside the ...

Which one is correct ( better ) for ESD Protection? Chassis or Signal Ground
There are various opinions on this, but I'd suggest the key questions to consider are:
What are you are trying to protect from ESD, (in particular between which points are you trying to limit the ...
