Undamped, length varying TLP pulses measurements and ESD model approximations

Since the introduction of the transmission line pulse -TLP- for the study of electrostatic discharge -ESD- events on integrated circuits -IC-, there has been many approaches on how to compare its tests results with those from other ESD models. Despite it has a very strong correlation with the industry-standard human body model -HBM-, most implementations of TLP weren´t suitable for comparisons with other ESD models. This work studies the different uses of TLP equipment in order to achieve different testing waveforms, and infers results to other ESD models based upon the analysis of their results through simulations and statistic testing.
