Abstract:
A device and/or circuit having an e-fuse is provided to disable a triggering network, and more specifically, an e-fuse is used to disable an electrostatic discharge (ESD) RC triggering network after device installation. The device and/or circuit includes a triggering network electrically coupled to an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection device. An e-fuse is electrically coupled with the triggering network and configured to render the ESD protection device insensitive to a triggering signal after blowing the e-fuse.
