Abstract
A method for modeling electrostatic discharges. The method may include obtaining a circuit netlist for an integrated circuit. The circuit netlist may describe connection information for various electronic components within the integrated circuit. The method may further include obtaining, by removing a portion of the electronic components from the circuit netlist, a reduced netlist. The method may further include determining, using the reduced netlist, various circuit parameters regarding an electrostatic discharge event for the integrated circuit. The method may further include simulating, using the circuit parameters, a discharge path within the integrated circuit for the electrostatic discharge event.
