ESD Co-Design for 224G and 112G SerDes in FinFET Technologies White Paper
High‑speed SerDes interfaces demand protection strategies that go beyond traditional I/O design practices. The “ESD Co‑Design for High‑Speed SerDes in FinFET Technologies” white paper presents an architectural approach to ESD protection that integrates protection mechanisms directly into the transmitter design. By rethinking how ESD current paths, series resistance, and device parasitics are used, the paper shows how designers can achieve robust ESD behavior while minimizing capacitive loading and performance degradation.
What You Will Learn:
- How secondary ESD protection architectures improve output‑driver robustness
- How series resistance can be managed without harming transmitter impedance
- How intrinsic ESD robustness can be achieved using transistor parasitic elements
