Abstract :
A novel on-chip surge protection design integrated within xDSL line driver IC is proposed, which has been successfully verified in a 0.11-μm CMOS process to sustain ITU-T surge test of up to 8kV. Compared with the traditional higher cost solution with on-board discrete surge protective device (SPD), this on-chip solution can meet the industry application requirements of both low-cost and high-robustness for surge protection.
