  • Abstract
    An ESD clamp intended for Envelop Tracking applications is presented. The clamp uses a reliable trigger mechanism to turn the clamp on during an ESD event. Important clamp features are immunity to voltage spikes in the power supply and a reliable power up operation. The clamp design has been validated with experimental data.
