Modern IoT hardware is more capable than ever — and more vulnerable. The same sensitive ICs that enable low-power, long-range LoRa® connectivity are also susceptible to ESD events, lightning-induced surges, cable discharge, and electrical fast transients. In the industrial, agricultural, and infrastructure environments where IoT devices are deployed, electrical threats are constant. Without the right protection, a single transient event can take down a device, corrupt data, or cause a permanent IC failure.

In this webinar, Semtech's protection experts break down the transient threat landscape facing modern IoT hardware and show you how to systematically defend against it. You'll learn how to classify and prioritize protection requirements by interface type and deployment environment, how ultra-low capacitance RailClamp® devices clamp ESD events on high-speed data lines without degrading LoRa RF performance, and how Semtech's TVS portfolio protects 24V DC industrial power rails against switching surges and lightning transients — all in compact, board-level packages built for space-constrained IoT designs.

From IEC 61000-4-2 compliance to reference protection circuits for IoT sensor nodes and gateways, this session gives hardware designers a practical framework for integrating Semtech's AMW circuit protection devices into their IoT designs — so your hardware holds up to the real world, not just the lab.

What you'll learn:

• How ESD, surge, lightning, and cable discharge events damage IoT hardware — and which interfaces and rails are most at risk
• How to interpret IEC 61000-4-2 and IEC 61000-4-5 ratings and apply them to real-world protection device selection
• How to protect LoRa RF interfaces and high-speed data lines against ESD without degrading signal integrity
• How to select TVS devices for IoT power rails based on clamping voltage, peak pulse power, and deployment environment
• Semtech reference circuits and component recommendations for IoT sensor nodes, gateways, and industrial edge devices

Who should watch: Hardware engineers, embedded systems designers, and IoT product developers building or hardening connected devices for industrial, outdoor, or infrastructure deployments.
