In one aspect an electronic device includes a substrate having one of a p-type doping or an n-type doping, a first well in the substrate, a second well in the substrate, a third well in the substrate between the first and second wells, a first terminal connected to the first well, a second terminal connected to the second well, an electrostatic discharge (ESD) clamp connected to the first and second terminals and a transient voltage source connected to the third well. A doping type of the first, second and third wells is the other one of the p-type or n-type doping. The ESD clamp is configured to clamp the first and second wells at a clamp voltage during an ESD event and the transient voltage source is configured to provide a voltage during the ESD event that is less than the clamp voltage.
