    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an on-chip electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit that may be reused for a variety of integrated circuit (IC) applications. Both inductor-capacitor (LC) parallel resonator and shunt inductor (connected to ground) are used as ESD protection circuits and also as a part of an impedance matching network for a given IC application. The ESD LC resonator can be designed with a variety of band pass filter (BPF) topologies. On-chip ESD protection circuit allows for co-optimization ESD and BPF performance simultaneously, a fully on-chip ESD solution for integrated passive device (IPD) processes, eliminates a need for active ESD device protection, additional processes to support off-chip ESD protection, reduces power consumption, and creates a reusable BPF topology.
