Abstract:A new SCR-based transient detection circuit for onchip protection design against system-level ESD-induced electrical transient disturbance is proposed and verified in silicon chip. The experimental results in a 0.18-μm CMOS process have confirmed that the new proposed detection circuit can successfully memorize the occurrence of system-level ESDinduced electrical transient events. The detection output can be cooperated with firmware operation to automatically execute system recovery procedure, therefore the im… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
