Abstract: Circuit protection is provided. In accordance with one or more example embodiments, a thyristor-based circuit and a diode-based circuit are connected in series between an internal circuit terminal and reference terminal, for protecting the internal circuit terminal against circuit stresses such as overvoltage and/or overcurrent, as may be associated with electrostatic discharge. The thyristor and diode-based circuits operate in a first mode at which leakage current is limited by the thyristor, and in a second (protection) mode in which a voltage at the internal terminal exceeds a threshold level at which the thyristor-based circuit operates in a forward-biased mode and the diode operates in a breakdown mode, for shunting current between the internal circuit terminal and reference terminal.

Abstract: An integrated circuit device provides electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. In connection with various example embodiments, an ESD circuit includes a low voltage clamp circuit configured to discharge current during an ESD event in response to a voltage level presented thereto, and is coupled across an internal node (e.g., a floating circuit node or a voltage supply (VDD)) and ground, in parallel with an input node having a diode between the input node and each of the internal node and ground. The clamp circuit includes a silicon-controlled rectifier (SCR) including a thyristor having anode and cathode end regions separated by two base regions, the cathode being connected to the internal node and the anode being connected to ground.

Abstract: A carpet having a pile layer, a support layer and a rear coating. The carpet has an intermediate layer formed from a mat comprising fibrous parts made predominantly of plastic which are in part thermoplastic and of low-melting point fibers and in part higher-melting point fibers, and melted regions providing coherence of both of the fibers, the melted regions being formed of partly melted regions of the low-melt-ing point thermoplastic fibers.
