    摘要: A logic-keeping apparatus including a logic judgment unit and a noise-event detection unit is disclosed. When the level at the input terminal of the logic judgment unit is larger than a first level, the output terminal thereof outputs a first logic state; when the level at the input terminal is smaller than a second level, the output terminal thereof outputs a second logic state; when the level at the input terminal is between the first level and the second level, the output terminal thereof keeps the previous logic state. The noise-event detection unit is for detecting whether a noise-event occurs (for example, an ESD event). Wherein, when a noise-even occurs in the system, the noise-event detection unit keeps the level at the input terminal of the logic judgment unit between the first level and the second level.

    摘要: A logic-latching apparatus includes a noise-event detection unit, a combinational logic unit and a latch unit. The noise-event detection unit is used for detecting whether or not a noise-event occurs (for example, an ESD). The latch unit is coupled with the noise-event detection unit and the combinational logic unit for latching the state of the combinational logic unit. When the output of the noise-event detection unit indicates that a noise-event occurs, the latch unit provides the input terminal of the combinational logic unit with a corresponding input signal according to the latched state of the combinational logic unit inside the latch unit to prevent the state of the combinational logic unit from being affected by the noise-event.

    摘要: A level shifter ESD protection circuit with power-on-sequence consideration used for receiving a first signal and outputting a second signal is provided. The level shifter circuit includes an inverter, a first switch, a second switch, a voltage level shifting circuit, a first ESD clamp and a second ESD clamp circuits. When the first power supply has been powered on and the second power supply is off, the first and second switches will remain off resulting from the power-off of the second power supply. Therefore, the second power source would not be affected by the first power supply because of passing through the ESD protection circuit.
