IC design for performance constraints make it increasingly difficult to meet the current CDM levels as the technologies continue to shrink and the circuit speed demands continue to increase This work shows that devices with CDM levels below the general target of 500 V can safely be handled with CDM control methods available in the industry today Based on these observations and constraints it will be shown through this work that 250V is a safe and practical target CDM level
