  • Publication number: 20230411956
    Abstract: Exemplary electrostatic discharge (ESD) circuit schemes are provided according to various aspects of the present disclosure. In certain aspects, a current path is created during an ESD event that causes current to flow through a resistor coupled to a protected transistor (e.g., a driver transistor). The current through the resistor creates a voltage drop across the resistor, which reduces the voltage seen by the protected transistor. In certain aspects, the current path is provided by an ESD circuit coupled to a node between the resistor and the transistor. In certain aspects, the current path is created by turning on the transistor during the ESD event with a trigger device.

  • Patent number: 11575259
    Abstract: An ESD protection circuit has a driver transistor with a drain that is coupled to an I/O pad of an IC device and a source that is coupled to a first rail of a power supply in the IC device, and a diode that couples the I/O pad to the first rail and that is configured to be reverse-biased when a rated voltage is applied to the I/O pad. The rated voltage lies within a nominal operating range for voltage levels defined for the input/output pad. The ESD protection circuit has a gate pull transistor that couples a gate of the driver transistor to the I/O pad or the first rail. The gate pull transistor may be configured to present a high impedance path between the gate of the driver transistor and the I/O pad or the first rail when the rated voltage is applied to the I/O pad.
