Description

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.

If the student has completed the course and is interested in a copy of the notes, they can be downloaded from Dropbox. To get the link, contact the instructor at pallen@ece.gatech.edu.

Who this course is for:

  • Students will learn how to protect their analog and mixed signal IC designs from ESD stress. The course is best suited for analog and mixed signal IC designers. It would not be suitable for students without an understanding of circuit design and semiconductor components.
