Abstract :
This case study demonstrates how long-duration Transmission Line Pulse (TLP) measurements can be used to debug, replicate and even predict EOS events. Knowing the EOS waveform characteristics allows easier determination of the root cause of the electrical overstress. This is critical in preventing future such occurrences.
