Abstract :
A functional approach to check global IC ESD schematic network correctness and protected circuitry ESD compliance using Calibre® Mentor PERC is presented and applied to Smart Power IC product. Developed checker exploits an initialization method able to accurately define ESD paths. The project follows ESD Association EDA International Working Group guidelines.
