Preface
This Book and Simulation Software Bundle Project Dear Reader, this book project brings to you a unique study tool for ESD protection solutions used in analog-integrated circuit (IC) design. Quick-start learning is combined with in-depth understanding for the whole spectrum of crossdisciplinary knowledge required to excel in the ESD field. The chapters cover technical material from elementary semiconductor structure and device levels up to complex analog circuit design examples and case studies. The book project provides two different options for learning the material. The printed material can be studied as any regular technical textbook. At the same time, another option adds parallel exercise using the trial version of a complementary commercial simulation tool with prepared simulation examples. Combination of the textbook material with numerical simulation experience presents a unique opportunity to gain a level of expertise that is hard to achieve otherwise. The book is bundled with simplified trial version of commercial mixedmode simulation software from Angstrom Design Automation. The DECIMMTM (Device Circuit Mixed-Mode) simulator tool and complementary to the book simulation examples can be downloaded from www.analogesd.com. The simulation examples prepared by the authors support the specific examples discussed across the book chapters. A key idea behind this project is to provide an opportunity to not only study the book material but also gain a much deeper understanding of the subject by direct experience through practical simulation examples. Each section of the book is accompanied by a set of simulation examples directly related to t
