Abstract

- An optimally-biased active feedback-based high-voltage tolerant power clamp is designed to bypass the trade-off between ESD performance and mis-trigger immunity. The design is fabricated in 28-nm CMOS, and measurements show a 70% improvement in failure current over previous designs, in addition to a lower clamping voltage, while maintaining mis-trigger resiliency.
