Re: CMOS Analog Switch
Hi IanP,
I also thought so, but the meaning of this spec is that in OFF mode, the switch shoould not start conduction when +/- 25mA of current is injected from input. However I am still not very clear on how to incorporate in my design. Can anyone help me?
Regards...

Hi All,
I am desining a CMOS Analog Switch with Ron < 500 Ohms . However one specification for the Switch says that "it should be able to handle +/- 20mA current injection". What exactly does this injection current spec means, and how should I take care...
Re: ESD TOOLS
Yes !! I agree with DrProf. For Simulating Breakdown / Snapback behaviour, the foundry need to upgrade the models. Anyway, in modern designs we are usually moving towards the non-breakdown type of devices which are easy to simulate and predict
Re: How to decide metal rails (or Power rails) in I/Os archi
1. Metal width should be sufficient so as to avoid EM
2. Metal width should be sufficient so as to keep IR drop within specefications.
3. Metal Rails should follow ESD considerations also. Should be sufficient wide to carry the ESD...
Re: I/O Pads (with ESD)
For Analog Pad , metal rails should be such that the capacitance is minimum. Also you need to avoid the second stage resistor depending on voltage or current signal
Re: ESD TOOLS
You can simulate Non breakdown devices by HBM and MM.
This example is for Hspice HBM2kV simulation
SUBCKT HBM NEG POS
RR1 NET20 POS 1.5K
LL4 NET20 NET5 7.5u
CC5 POS NEG 10p IC=0
CC4 NET20 POS 1p IC=0
CC0 NET5 NEG 100p IC=2K
.ENDS HBM
Re: I/O pad simulation
Rajesh is right!! You can simulate HBM and MM events for Non breakdown clamps.
For exmaple , in Hspice this works for HBM 2kV:
SUBCKT HBM NEG POS
RR1 NET20 POS 1.5K
LL4 NET20 NET5 7.5u
CC5 POS NEG 10p IC=0
CC4 NET20 POS 1p IC=0
CC0 NET5 NEG 100p IC=2K
.ENDS HBM
Hi .
Hspice can simulate only the Non breakdown type of Devices/clamp.
You can simulate the responce of RC Mosfet Clamps and diodes.
This is sample model for HBM 2kV Zap in Hspice.
SUBCKT HBM NEG POS
RR1 NET20 POS 1.5K
LL4 NET20 NET5 7.5u
CC5 POS NEG 10p IC=0
CC4 NET20 POS 1p IC=0
CC0 NET5...
