The first comprehensive guide to esd protection and i o design basic esd and i o design is the first book devoted to esd electrostatic discharge protection and input output design. Addressing the growing demand in industry for high-speed i o designs it bridges the gap between esd research and current vlsi design practices and provides a much-needed reference for practicing engineers who are frequently called upon to learn the subject on the job. This volume presents an integrated treatment of esd i o and process parameter interactions that both i o designers and process designers can use. It examines key factors in i o and esd design and testing and helps the reader consider esd and reliability issues up front when making i o choices. Emphasizing clarity and simplicity this book focuses on design principles that can be applied widely as this dynamic field continues to evolve. Basic esd and i o design: * describes strategies for design-oriented esd protection * explains layout methods that enhance esd protection designs * addresses basic i o designs including new problems such as mixed voltage interfaces * discusses fabrication aspects affecting esd and i o protection * illustrates concepts using numerous figures and examples * expresses device physics in terms of simple electrical circuit models * cross-references the material to standard texts in the field essential for engineers in industry and anyone designing circuits systems or devices for future technologies basic e...
