Abstract
Electrical measurements, physical damage analysis, and device simulation have proved that the drain junction breakdown voltage is the determining failure criterion for our HV active clamps. Using this criterion, the HBM and TLP robustness of such clamps can be accurately predicted by circuit simulation without the need for test silicon.
