Learn some techniques for preventing latch-up, a phenomenon that causes a short circuit and damage to your ICs, such as using CMOS, guard rings, and simulation. Agree & Join LinkedIn ...

In CMOS chips, the wider layout rules were traditionally applied to overcome latch-up issues. However, the chip area with wider layout rules was often enlarged, and in turn the chip cost was also ...

Latch-up occurs when two bipolar transistor structures enter a self-sustained low impedance state between the anode and cathode. This condition is often the result of parasitic PNP and NPN structures ...
