This paper describes a set of miniature, three-stage 60GHz LNAs designed in 40nm LP CMOS. The designs prove effectiveness and ease of use of inductor-based ESD protection schemes applied to mm-wave circuits. The measured ESD protection levels reach 4.5 kV HBM, up to 7.6 A for VFTLP tests and a record of 1 kV CDM. At the same time, the NF of the LNAs is below 8 dB and the gain above 15 dB at 60 GHz,...
Providing CDM protection is a major challenge for mm-wave circuits given the stringent performance requirements. In this paper, two mm-wave ESD protection techniques are compared at 60 GHz, with a focus on CDM performance. For the first time, a good correlation with on-wafer VFTLP and packaged CDM tests is demonstrated on mm-wave circuits, with record CDM levels. Inductive ESD protection delivers...
