Transmission line pulse
Encyclopedia
Transmission-line pulse is a way to study integrated circuit
technologies and circuit behavior in the current and time domain of electrostatic-discharge
(ESD) events. The method became indispensable for integrated circuit ESD protection development, especially after Barth Electronics introduced the first commercial TLP system in the mid-1990s.
Integrated circuit
An integrated circuit or monolithic integrated circuit is an electronic circuit manufactured by the patterned diffusion of trace elements into the surface of a thin substrate of semiconductor material...

Electrostatic discharge
Electrostatic discharge is a serious issue in solid state electronics, such as integrated circuits. Integrated circuits are made from semiconductor materials such as silicon and insulating materials such as silicon dioxide...
