ESD Checking Made Simple
| Overall: | 3.0 |
Checking for complete ESD protection is a challenge during physical verification of virtually all types of ICs, especially ones requiring high reliability in dangerous environments (like your car). After all, how do you check something that's been left out?
There have been some specialized checkers out there for a while, but they tend to fall down in specific areas: 1) they can't incorporate customer-specific rules and criteria very easily, and 2) they don't deal with multi-voltage-domain (low power) chips very well.
If your're interesting in learning more about the problem and possible solutions, you can download a paper from Mentor Graphics at: http://www.mentor.com/products/ic_nanometer_design/techpubs/addressing-reliability-and-circuit-verification-challenges-with-calibre-perc-42217
