Latchup is a phenomenon in semiconductor devices that occurs when excessive current flows through the device, resulting in a sudden increase in power dissipation and potential device failure. It is caused by a parasitic bipolar transistor that is formed between two adjacent PN junctions in the device. This transistor can be triggered by a voltage spike, leading to a current surge that can damage the device.
Latchup can be prevented by careful design of the device, including the use of guard rings and other techniques. It can also be mitigated by using special protection circuits that detect the current surge and shut down the device before it is damaged.
The latchup market is composed of companies that provide solutions to prevent and mitigate latchup in semiconductor devices. These solutions include design tools, protection circuits, and other products and services. Companies in the latchup market include Synopsys, Cadence Design Systems, Mentor Graphics, and Magma Design Automation. Show Less Read more
