Abstract:
An electrostatic discharge (ESD) protected device includes a device (6) to be protected and an ESD protection circuit (4). It is determined that if an ESD pulse is applied to pad (2) a leakage current flows on path (14) through the device (6). This leakage current of the device to be protected (6) is used as a precursor trigger signal to trigger the ESD device (4).
