RF IO Pad Set

Overview

Key Features

• ESD Protection
• I/O pads are designed with robust ESD protection for all market segments. Passed:
• 2KV ESD Human Body Model (HBM)
• 200 V ESD Machine Model (MM)
• 500 V ESD Charge Device Model (CDM)
• RF Diodes
• The set of PPLUS_NWELL_DIODE_x RF diodes are selected to provide minimum capacitance for RF applications and high current handling capability for good ESD protection.
• Silicon-Controlled Rectifiers (SCR)
• The set of P+ to Nwell SCR discrete components are selected to provide the lowest capacitance with the highest ESD protection. These components have been used in I/O pads to demonstrate over 6KV ESD protection.
