摘要：
An active-FET ESD cell (300) for protecting an I/O pad (301) includes a first MOS transistor (310) with a gate oxide (315) of a first thickness and a second MOS transistor (320) with a gate oxide (325) of a second thickness greater than the first thickness at least by the amount required to handle the source-follower threshold voltage, the first transistor having its drain (313) tied to the I/O pad, its source (311) tied to ground, and its gate (312) tied to the source (321) of the second transistor and resistively connected to ground (340), and the second transistor having its drain (323) tied to the I/O pad and its gate tied to a capacitor (330) connected to the I/O pad and to a resistor (331) connected to ground.
