The design of dynamically activated ESD protections requires an accurate analysis of the activation sensitivity versus the application requirements. In this work it is presented how the performances of HV Darlington ESD protection are impacted by its own RC trigger circuit, and a design methodology to properly define the RC value based on application constraints is discussed. The limitations in data extrapolating from 100 ns-TLP characterizations are shown, proposing an alternative approach that combines HBM characterization data and electrical simulations.
