    Abstract

    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.
