Improvement of TLP-HMM’s Load Dependence

The ESD generator and transmission line pulse-human metal model (TLP-HMM) have different output structures and are calibrated with different calibration targets. This results in that the first peak current of TLP-HMM is different from ESD generator even for the same device under test (DUT) because the reflections at the DUT are changed from the calibration. In this study, we proposed a new TLP-HMM structure to improve the TLP-HMM’s load dependence.
