Patent number: 7911752Abstract: An electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit is electrically connected to a core circuit for preventing ESD charges from reaching the core circuit. The ESD protection circuit includes a pad, a pass transistor, a transistor, a capacitor, a resistor, and a delay trigger unit. The pass transistor controls passage of charges from the pad to the core circuit. The transistor sinks ESD charges during an ESD zapping event. The capacitor and the resistor couple voltage at the pad to a control electrode of the transistor for turning on the transistor during the ESD zapping event. The delay trigger unit retards transmission of low voltage to a control electrode of the pass transistor for keeping the pass transistor turned off during the ESD zapping event.Type: GrantFiled: October 29, 2009Date of Patent: March 22, 2011Assignee: eMemory Technology Inc.Inventors: Wei-Yao Lin, Shao-Chang Huang, Mao-Shu Hsu, Tang-Lung Lee, Kun-Wei Chang
