Abstract:
An ESD protection design using a gate-coupled substrate-triggered technique is provided. A required RC time constant maintained in the gate-coupled substrate-triggered ESD circuit is based on a parasitic MOS capacitor and larger resistor, in which a layout area for the substrate-triggered ESD protection design is significantly reduced.
