  • Stacked clamps electrostatic discharge protection device
    Patent number: 11211791
    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.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 5, 2020
    Date of Patent: December 28, 2021
    Assignee: SOFICS BVBA
    Inventors: Sven Van Wijmeersch, Stefaan Verleye, Benjamin Ernest Henri Virginie Van Camp
