  • Abstract
    High-speed interfaces, e.g. for USB3.1 or HDMI2.0, require high system level ESD protection, typically 15 kV, without affecting signal integrity. This paper describes the development of a novel bipolar process and the design of a fast-switching, low-voltage clamping protection combining high protection capability with excellent signal integrity.
