ESD protection for IC designers—rigorous and practical
Electrostatic discharge protection isn't optional in analog and mixed-signal IC design; it's foundational. This course covers ESD protection cells, how ESD influences circuit components, and a co-design approach that integrates protection into your circuits rather than bolting it on afterward. You'll also learn the physical aspects of ICs and how to avoid the common mistakes that lead to field failures.
Sixteen lectures with a quiz after each, totaling roughly 10 hours of study, assume you understand basic IC components (transistors, capacitors, resistors) and build from there.
About this course
The objective of this course is to understand how to efficiently and accurately apply ESD protection from an analog/mixed signal IC designers viewpoint. The approach will be to understand ESD protection cells, understand ESD influence on circuit components, apply a co-design approach to combining ESD protection with analog/mixed signal circuits, understand the physical aspects of ICs on ESD, and to avoid common mistakes in ESD protection.
The terminology used in this course is that found in analog and mixed-signal IC design practice. An understanding of integrated circuit components; transistors, resistors, capacitors, etc., is assumed.
The course consist of 16 lectures with a quiz following each lecture. The course will take approximately 10 hours to complete including the quizzes.
This course should be taken by analog and/or mixed signal designers who want to be able to efficiently and effectively provide ESD protection for their designs.
