Abstract:
One example of an ESD protection circuit (100) can include a p-channel field effect transistor (PFET) (110) having a source-drain path connected between a pad (102) and a protected circuit (106). In an ESD event, PFET (110) can provide an ESD discharge path between pad (102) and a high power supply node (114) or low power supply node (112).
