This comprehensive and insightful book discusses ESD protection circuit design problems from an IC designer's perspective. On—Chip ESD Protection for Integrated Circuits: An IC Design Perspective provides both fundamental and advanced materials needed by a circuit designer for designing ESD protection circuits, including: • Testing models and standards adopted by U.S. Department of Defense, EIA/JEDEC, ESD Association, Automotive Electronics Council, International Electrotechnical Commission, etc. • ESD failure analysis, protection devices, and protection of sub—circuits • Whole—chip ESD protection and ESD—to—circuit interactions • Advanced low—parasitic compact ESD protection structures for RF and mixed—signal IC's • Mixed—mode ESD simulation—design methodologies for design prediction ESD—to—circuit interactions, and more! Many real world ESD protection circuit design examples are provided. The book can be used as a reference book for working IC designers and as a textbook for students in the IC design field.
