摘要
The paper presents an equivalent circuit snapback model for the ESD domain operation of merged cascoded NMOS devices. The model reflects the specific breakdown operation of the structure at different gate bias conditions. An example for optimisation of the ESD behaviour of an output driver, utilising this protection device, is presented.
