Abstract

A method for calculating the peak voltage at the input of the IC is presented for an I/O port subsystem consisting of a TVS protection device, an IC on-chip protection and a PCB trace. The method is valid for non-snapback on-chip protection where the silicon part can be fully described by a quasistatic (VF)-TLP curve and allows to determine the peak voltage from measurement data of the individual components only.
