Title :
Human Body Model ESD Protection of RF Bipolar Circuits
Author :
Davis, Paul ; Horton, Brian
Abstract :
RF and other high-frequency bipolar circuits operating at 1-5 GHz have been ESD protected using the human body model test to 2kV. The described design and modeling techniques minimize the operating parasitics, chip area, and number of process turn-arounds
