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.
<em>Albert Z.H. Wang</em> received his PhD in Electrical Engineering from The State University of New York at Buffalo in 1995. After working for National Semiconductor Corporation in Santa Clara, CA, as a Staff R&D Engineer, he joined the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Illinois Institute of Technology in 1998. His research interests and publications center on analog, mixed-signal, RF and SoC IC design, on-chip ESD protection circuit design, IC CAD, and other closely related subjects.
