Location: AMD Commons Bldg., Sunnyvale, Calif.

A full-day course is provided with the focus solely on on-chip electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection networks, and circuits for digital, analog and RF circuits. The course will emphasize ESD input networks, and ESD power clamps providing many examples of both diode, MOSFET and bipolar transistor-based solutions. The course will focus on fundamental concepts of ESD circuit design practices, design synthesis, diode and MOSFET design, I/O networks (receivers and off-chip drivers), ESD input circuits, and ESD power clamps. The course will add special topics such as ESD power clamp optimization, cross-power domain issues, SOI and RF application issues.
