An Approach to Characterize Behavior of Multiport ICs under ESD Stress

Abstract

ESD characterization of an RF switch was investigated by measuring and analyzing the voltage and current at its input and output ports. This characterization shows the device starts conducting during ESD events, allowing more than 1 A of current to pass through and raising the output voltage to ~30 V.
