  • Abstract
    Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection of an integrated circuit´s (IC´s) high voltage power pins is achieved without damage to thin oxides by dividing the steady-state voltage and arranging weak forward bias of the diodes of a cantilever clamp. Also, V/sub pp/ programming pins are protected by cantilever clamps of various kinds, including some which turn on when breakdown is detected and turn off after V/sub cc/ is powered up.
