2010年1月1日 · In spite of a high variety of analog circuits, these major principles of network design are rather universal. This fact is demonstrated in detail in this chapter, followed by Chapters 6 and 7 that describe ESD protection network implementation in analog signal path and power circuits with the help of practical examples.

The ESD protection network can further be understood as a virtual pulsed power circuit composed of ESD clamps, appropriate high-current-capable metallization routing, and components of the internal circuit of the product that interface with the

Different aspects of ESD and latchup development from technology, application spaces, device design, analog and power circuits, mixed signal issues, models, testing, and computer aided design (CAD) issues will be addressed. IEEE Transactions on Device and Materials…

Physical principles for on-chip solutions with combined ESD, EOS and overvoltage protection (OVP) are presented. The proposed main approach is an upgrade of the conventional ESD protection network components, with extra EOS and OVP capability using additional small footprint clamp and device add-ins.

1 天前 · The dual-diode circuit as I/O electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is widely adopted in radio-frequency integrated circuits (RF ICs) due to their low parasitic capacitance and ease of design. A high-performance ESD protection strategy leveraging the dual-diode circuit connected to the virtual ground node of a differential matching network is …

2005年2月1日 · Second, we introduce a more comprehensive distributed ESD network optimization strategy which allows for precise sizing of the high-current ESD elements in the I/O pad cell. In our optimizations, we size the ESD elements to move the required ESD current and protect both the fragile NMOS and PMOS output buffers for all worst case zap conditions ...

ESD is a miniature lightning bolt of charge that moves between two surfaces that have different potentials. It can occur only when the voltage differential between the two surfaces is sufficiently high to break down the dielectric strength of the medium separating the two surfaces.
