Obtaining TLP-like information from an HBM simulator

Obtaining TLP-type data from properly instrumented HBM systems is demonstrated. Parameters similar to those extracted by TLP are measured from HBM pulses. The new concept of "DUT snapback impedance" is introduced to explain DUT response to 1500Omega HBM pulses and various impedance TLP systems. Observed stresses with HBM, not present in TLP, may account for some HBM-TLP miscorrelations.
