  • STACKED CLAMPS ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE PROTECTION DEVICE
    Publication number: 20210044106
    Abstract: An electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection device including a stack of ESD clamps, a trigger circuit, and a transistor. The trigger circuit may respond to an ESD event by conducting current, which may cause the transistor to turn on. A combination of the trigger circuit conducting current and the transistor turning on may trigger the ESD clamps into a conducting state to shunt current from a first node to a second node.
