چکیده

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection devices can have an adverse effect on the performance of high frequency and RF circuits. This work presents for the first time, an s-parameter based analysis of the performance of RF circuits with various ESD protection designs. Additionally, a design methodology for distributed ESD protection using coplanar waveguides is developed to achieve a better impedance match over a broad frequency range. By using this technique, an ESD device with a parasitic capacitance of 200 fF will attenuate the signal power by only 0.27 dB at 10 GHz.

Impedance-Isolation Technique for ESD Protection Design in RF Integrated Circuits

SUMMARY An impedance-isolation technique is proposed for on-chip ESD protection design for radio-frequency (RF) integrated circuits (ICs), which has been successfully verified in a 0.25-μm CMOS process with thick top-layer metal. With the resonance of LC-tank at the operating frequency of the RF circuit, the impedance (especially, the parasitic ca-pacitance) of the ESD protection devices can be...
