Simulating ESD discharge in Verilog
Nov 14th, 2006, 3:24am
 
Hi,

I want to implement an ESD discharge in VerilogA
Therefor I want to have an initial condition on a capacitance ( e.g. 1 kV)

How do I state this in Verilog ? @(initial_step) ?

Regards,

There is article "Compact Modeling of On-Chip ESD Protection Devices Using Verilog-A"
IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON COMPUTER-AIDED DESIGN OF INTEGRATED CIRCUITS AND SYSTEMS, VOL. 25, NO. 6, JUNE 2006

that explain ESD modelling in Verilog-A. Unfortunately I can't attach it as its size is more than 500k.

Regards.

No.  Probably with analysis("ic").

If at first you do succeed, STOP, raise your standards, and stop wasting your time.
