Effective on-chip ESD design to solve the ESD protection challenge on the analog pins for
high-frequency or current-mode applications is studied. The device dimension of ESD clamp
devices in analog ESD protection circuit can be reduced to have a much small input
capacitance for high-frequency applications, but it can still sustain a high HBM and MM ESD
level. To find the optimized device dimensions and layout spacings on ESD clamp devices,
a design model is developed to keep the input capacitance as constant as possible (within�…

The device dimension of ESD clamp devices in analog ESD protection circuit can be reduced to have a much small input capacitance for high-frequency applications, but it can still sustain a high HBM and MM ESD level. To find the optimized device dimensions and layout spacings on ESD clamp devices, a design model is developed to keep the input capacitance as constant as possible (within 1% variation).
