The first comprehensive guide to ESD protection and I/O design
Basic ESD and I/O Design is the first book devoted to ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection and input/output design. Addressing the growing demand in industry for high-speed I/O designs, it bridges the gap between ESD research and current VLSI design practices and provides a much-needed reference for practicing engineers who are frequently called upon to learn the subject on the job.
This volume presents an integrated treatment of ESD, I/O, and process parameter interactions that both I/O designers and process designers can use. It examines key factors in I/O and ESD design and testing, and helps the reader consider ESD and reliability issues up front when making I/O choices. Emphasizing clarity and simplicity, this book focuses on design principles that can be applied widely as this dynamic field continues to evolve. Basic ESD and I/O Design:
Describes strategies for design-oriented ESD protection
Explains layout methods that enhance ESD protection designs
Addresses basic I/O designs, including new problems such as mixed voltage interfaces
Discusses fabrication aspects affecting ESD and I/O protection
Illustrates concepts using numerous figures and examples
Expresses device physics in terms of simple electrical circuit models
Cross-references the material to standard texts in the field
Essential for engineers in industry and anyone designing circuits, systems, or devices for future technologies, Basic ESD and I/O Design is also a useful reference for researchers and graduate students involved in core VLSI design or computer architecture.

Reviews:
Today it is hard to find a book dealing with ESD and IO design comprehensively, and this book is a make-up. It covers ESD theories, prevention techniques and layout, basic IO transceiver design, mixed-voltage IO cell design and etc. Unfortunately, the authors did not address some of the designs in depth, as its title is "Basic ESD and I/O Design".
If you are designing i/o design this is the book that you want to have. After reviewing basic concepts provided by the book, you can improve your esd io sturecture by a few 1kv. It has excellent design examples for ESD I/O from grounded gate MOS devices to SCR. This book however needs to address low capacitance ESD I/O sturecture for RF application.
