摘要： An ESD circuit is disclosed. The ESD circuit includes a pad and a ground and a sensing element coupled between the pad and ground for sensing an ESD current. The sensing element generates an active sense output signal when an ESD current is sensed and an inactive sense output signal when no ESD current is sensed. The ESD circuit also includes a bypass element comprising a bi-polar junction transistor. The bypass element is coupled in parallel to the sensing element between the pad and ground. The active sense output signal causes the bypass element to be activated to provide a current path between the pad and ground.

摘要： A device having an ESD module is disclosed. The ESD module includes an ESD circuit coupled between first and second rails and a control circuit coupled between the rails and to the ESD circuit. When the control circuit senses an ESD event, it causes the ESD circuit to create a current path between the rails to dissipate ESD current. When no ESD event is sensed, the control circuit ensures that no current path is created between the rails to prevent latch-up.

摘要： A device is presented. The device includes a first circuit coupled to first and second power rails of the device. The first circuit is subject to a latch up event in the presence of a latch up condition. The latch up event includes a low resistance path created between the first and second power rails. The device also includes a latch up sensing (LUS) circuit coupled to the first circuit. The LUS circuit is configured to receive a LUS input signal from the first circuit and generates a LUS output signal to the first circuit. When the input signal is an active latch up signal which indicates the presence of a latch up condition, the LUS circuit generates an active LUS output signal which creates a break in the low resistance path to terminate the latch up event.

摘要： Protecting a gate dielectric is achieved with a gate dielectric protection circuit coupled to a transistor at risk. The protection circuit is activated to reduce the voltage across the gate dielectric (VDIFF) to below its breakdown voltage (VBD). The protection circuit is activated when an ESD event is detected. The protection circuit provides a protection or ESD bias to reduce VDIFF below VBD.
