Download or read book On-Chip Electro-Static Discharge (ESD) Protection for Radio-Frequency Integrated Circuits written by Qiang Cui and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-03-10 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book enables readers to design effective ESD protection solutions for all mainstream RF fabrication processes (GaAs pHEMT, SiGe HBT, CMOS). The new techniques introduced by the authors have much higher protection levels and much lower parasitic effects than those of existing ESD protection devices. The authors describe in detail the ESD phenomenon, as well as ESD protection fundamentals, standards, test equipment, and basic design strategies. Readers will benefit from realistic case studies of ESD protection for RFICs and will learn to increase significantly modern RFICs’ ESD safety level, while maximizing RF performance.
