  • Publication number: 20090021873
    Abstract: It is described an Electro Static Discharge protection, wherein diodes are arranged on two electric paths both extending in between two conductors which are connected with input terminals of an ESD sensitive electronic component. Each path comprises two diodes arranged in series and with opposite polarity with respect to each other. At least one of the totally four diodes comprises a different reverse breakdown voltage. The protection circuit is formed integrally with the ESD sensitive electronic component. Due to the serial connection of two diodes in each path the corresponding ESD protection circuit comprises an extremely low capacitance.
