Abstract

The latchup path between high-voltage (HV) PMOS and low-voltage (LV) PMOS in a 0.16-μm 30- V/1.8-V bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) technology is studied. From the experiment results on silicon chip, this path can be easily induced into latchup state during the current-trigger latchup test. Therefore, the related layout rules should be carefully specified to avoid such HV-to-LV cross-domain latchup issue.
