The application of large-signal calibration techniques yields unprecedented insight during TLP and ESD testing

This paper presents the application of a rigorous large-signal AC calibration technique to TLP waveforms. In contrast to standard practice, which discards information `hidden´ in the transients, the new method allows to visualize currents and voltages occurring at the device-under-test without the distortions which render standard TLP waveforms difficult to interpret.
