Abstract :
CDM circuit simulations feasibility on complex smart power circuits is presented in this work and applied to a high voltage operational amplifier. Simulation results are validated by means of measurements on dedicated test circuits and failure analysis. Pre-requisites for simulations and device model improvements are deeply investigated by means of vf-TLP measurements.
