Abstract :
Today´s advanced technologies´ overdrive transistors cannot always meet the signal speeds of existing standards. This paper describes the issues, solutions and results to build the necessary protection for HBM, MM, CDM and latch-up for a 3.3V domain and 1.8V/3.3V I/O, based only on 1.8V transistors, in a 40nm process.
