    摘要: An electrostatic discharge tolerant device includes a semiconductor body having a first conductivity type, and a pad. A surrounding well having a second conductivity type is laid out in a ring to surround an area for an electrostatic discharge circuit in the semiconductor body. The surrounding well is relatively deep, and in addition to defining the area for the electrostatic discharge circuit, provides the first terminal of a diode formed with the semiconductor body. Within the area surrounded by the surrounding well, a diode coupled to the pad and a transistor coupled to the voltage reference are connected in series and form a parasitic device in the semiconductor body.
