Title: A series blocking circuit for protecting low voltage devices during an ESD event
Inventor: PUGSLEY WILLIAM
IPC: H03K19/003
Filed: 2008-10-31
Abstract: The voltage on the supply rail 201 during conduction of an ESD transient through the clamp 206 event may be sufficient to damage low voltage devices such as thin oxide transistors 216,217, so a blocking transistor 213, which turns off when the clamp 206 is conducting, is added in series with the circuit 208 containing the low voltage devices. A shunting transistor (108, figure 1) across the low-voltage devices may be turned on during the ESD transient. There is no need to increase the size of the clamp 206 beyond that sufficient to limit the rail voltage to a value which the thicker oxide transistors 214,215 can withstand. The area, stray capacitance, and leakage current of the clamp may be reduced.
