Abstract

This paper presents a new solution for ESD protection of high-voltage, high-speed pins in power analog circuits, such as switching voltage regulators. The particular implementation consists of a LDMOS-SCR ESD device with the triggering characteristics controlled by an active circuit. Experimental validation of this new approach is provided.
