TVS diodes help protect electronic circuits from surge voltages associated with an ESD event. XFdtd’s transient EM/circuit co-simulation capability combines the strength of 3D full-wave electromagnetic simulation with the flexibility of circuit solvers. This paper examines the approach, which embeds a transient nonlinear circuit solver in the full-wave simulation so that all electromagnetic phenomena are accounted for in a single time-domain simulation.
