Title:
DYNAMICALLY TRIGGERED ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE CELL
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/119569
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit (110) includes an active shunt transistor (125), a first pull-down transistor (204), and a second pull-down transistor (206). The active shunt transistor (125) is coupled between a first I/O pad 52a and a reference voltage. The first pull-down transistor (204) is connected to the reference voltage. The second pull-down transistor (206) is connected to the first pull-down transistor (204) and the first I/O pad 52a. The first pull-down transistor (204) and the second pull-down transistor (206) are in separate isolation tanks of an isolation deep n-well (220).
