Abstract :
This work presents the case study of the response of an audio amplifier IC stressed while powered up. Under these conditions, the discharge current path varies from that in the unpowered circuit. Complete simulations have been performed and compared to measurements to highlight the IC´s failure under system ESD stress conditions.
