Detailed transient latch-up (TLU) analyses of external test structures show that a DC trigger does not necessarily reflect worst case conditions. Furthermore, the classical guard ring latch-up protection approach fails for transient trigger. In this contribution, design recommendations for TLU-safe designs are presented. The knowledge about the perturbation environment and an appropriate design are essential for a TLU-robust product.
