Overview
The first comprehensive guide to ESD protection and I/O design
Basic ESD and I/O Design is the first book devoted to ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection and input/output design. Addressing the growing demand in industry for high-speed I/O designs, it bridges the gap between ESD research and current VLSI design practices and provides a much-needed reference for practicing engineers who are frequently called upon to learn the subject on the job.
This volume presents an integrated treatment of ESD, I/O, and process parameter interactions that both I/O designers and process designers can use. It examines key factors in I/O and ESD design and testing, and helps the reader consider ESD and reliability issues up front when making I/O choices. Emphasizing clarity and simplicity, this book focuses on design principles that can be applied widely as this dynamic field continues to evolve. Basic ESD and I/O Design:
* Describes strategies for design-oriented ESD protection
* Explains layout methods that enhance ESD protection designs
* Addresses basic I/O designs, including new problems such as mixed voltage interfaces
* Discusses fabrication aspects affecting ESD and I/O protection
* Illustrates concepts using numerous figures and examples
* Expresses device physics in terms of simple electrical circuit models
* Cross-references the material to standard texts in the field
Essential for engineers in industry and anyone designing circuits, systems, or devices for future technologies, Basic ESD and I/O Design is also a useful reference for researchers and graduate students involved in core VLSI design or computer architecture.

Booknews
A text devoted to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and input/output (I/O) design. The authors cover ESD protection methods such as silicon-controlled rectifiers and thick-field-oxide clamps, small- chip ESD issues, hot-electron interactions, circuit considerations such as compensation schemes and simultaneous switching output noise, and ESD and I/O interactions. The emphasis is on design principles that can be applied widely as the field continues to evolve. Intended for engineers and others designing circuits, systems, or devices for future technologies. Also of use as a reference for researchers and graduate students involved in core VLSI design or computer architecture. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
