Electrical characterisation of a power SO-package in the context of electrostatic discharge

The electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitivity of integrated circuits with respect to the charged device model depends strongly on the package. Electrical characteristics of a package are, if at all extracted, application specific. They depend on the environment e.g. the PCB. This paper characterises the package for the 1st time taking into account the CDM tester environment. The extracted parameters are a prerequisite for circuit simulation of integrated circuits under CDM-stress
