Abstract
A method and a system for ESD protection are provided. In one embodiment, the system comprises a circuit comprising at least one non-linear element, an application module configured to apply a set of current pulses to the circuit, a determination module configured to determine at least one frequency-dependent and amplitude-dependent transfer function of the circuit based on the set of applied current pulses, a modeling module configured to model at least one frequency-dependent and current-dependent impedance of the at least one non-linear element, and a simulation module to simulate a transmission to the circuit based on the model.
