  • Abstract
    In this paper we designed an ESD protected CML driver for 8.5 Gbps data rate. ESD protection for this circuit is provided with DSCR. A detailed analysis is done on the impact of ESD protection on performance of the driver. It is shown that DSCR offers up to 2.7 kV HBM protection with very small impact on performance of the driver.
