What is Latch Up in VLSI and Its Prevention Techniques?
Latch-up in VLSI is a short circuit/low impedance channel generated between the power and ground rails of a MOSFET circuit, resulting in high current leading to IC damage. It is caused by the interaction of parasitic PNP and NPN transistors (BJTs). This results in a structure that resembles a Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR). These create […]
