Abstract :
TVS diodes are widely used in electronic devices to protect them from ESD damages. Parasitic inductance is an important factor which circuit designers should consider in TVS diode selection and PCB routing. In this paper, the effect of the parasitic inductance associated with interconnecting traces, bonding wires and leads of TVS diodes is investigated by circuit simulations and experiments. Design suggestions are proposed for effective in-circuit ESD protection.
