Timothy Maloney

Timothy J. Maloney was a Senior Principal Engineer at Intel before retirement in June of 2016. He received the Intel Achievement Award for his patented ESD protection devices, which have achieved breakthrough ESD performance enhancements for a wide variety of Intel products. He is co-author of a book, “Basic ESD and I/O Design” (Wiley, 1998), and is a Fellow of the IEEE.

ESD Standards

A Circuit Model for the Charged Device Model Spark

The charged device model spark itself is not just resistive; it often has extra inductance or L-C energy storage. These plus hardware properties affect the CDM waveform and affect methods to correlate alternate CDM test methods to standard JEDEC CDM.

CDE Modeling Using Star-Tree Impedance Networks for USB2 Cable

Simple star-tree networks, as shown here for USB2, should have wide applicability for cables carrying fast signals.

ESD Control

Ohm’s Law Also Applies to ESD‑Induced Heat Pulses

Heat flow analysis for semiconductor ESD situations can be approximated to one dimension, and then captured with a generalized Ohm’s Law using a complex impedance. Methods can include time-dependent electrothermal pulses and feedback due to self-heating, with solutions readily carried out on any desktop computer.
