Abstract

–The ESD coupling path and on-board impedances strongly affect the ESD rise time seen on a PCB trace. Possible race conditions between external and on-die ESD protection were studied using measurement-based models of the transient response and on-board passives. Results show the interplay of rise time and protection turn-on can prevent the external TVS from responding in time.
