A power amplifier (PA) with combination of ESD protection circuit and matching network into single block was proposed and implemented in a 0.18-mu m CMOS process. By comprising ESD protection function into the matching network, this design omits individual I/O ESD clamps to alleviate loading that degrades RF performances. According to the experimental results, the ESD protection circuit with LC configuration contributes a 3.0-kV human body model (HBM) ESD robustness without significant degradation on RF performances of the PA for 2.4-GHz RF applications.

A new matching design of Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA) with ESD protection is proposed and implemented in an ESD-protected LNA, which manipulates the parasitic capacitance of ESD protection device as a core part of LNA. matching network. Without significant degradation on RF performance, 4.5-kV Human-Body-Model (HBM) and 250-V Machine-Model (MM) ESD levels can be achieved. The low RF-performance degradation and high ESD immunity can be simultaneously realized in a simple matching structure without extra circuit components dealing with ESD parasitics in a multi-GHz LNA.
