Abstract :
A novel high-voltage hi-directional ESD protection device for automotive applications was developed on a 0.18um BiCMOS technology. This device used an asymmetrical scheme optimized as an area-efficient solution for system-level compliance. TLP measurements showed device´s excellent It2 of 120mA/um. It also demonstrated 11KV IEC 61000-4-2 contact robustness without external suppressors.
