The kicker? The shown in the datasheet omits the gate zener diode for “simplicity.” Engineers who blindly copied that schematic learned the hard way. One forum post I found described a $50K medical device prototype failing intermittently during ESD testing—until someone noticed the FTD02P was snapping into latch-up at exactly 8.2V on the gate.
