摘要： An electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection structure for protecting against ESD events between signal terminals is disclosed. ESD protection is provided in a first polarity, by a bipolar transistor (4C) formed in an n-well (64; 164), having a collector contact (72; 172) to one signal terminal (PIN1) and its emitter region (68; 168) and base (66; 166) connected to a second signal terminal (PIN2). For reverse polarity ESD protection, a diode (25) is formed in the same n-well (64; 164) by a p+ region (78; 178) connected to the second signal terminal (PIN2), serving as the anode. The cathode can correspond to the n-well (64; 164) itself, as contacted by the collector contact (72; 172). By using the same n-well (64; 164) for both devices, the integrated circuit chip area required to implement this pin-to-pin protection is much reduced.

摘要： A CDM clamp circuit integrated into the interface circuit it is protecting on an integrated circuit. Generally, the integrated CDM clamp circuit and interface circuit are adjacent to each other and share a common device element or component, thus eliminating the need for a metal interconnect. Because there is no interconnect, the parasitic resistance and inductance are also minimized or eliminated from the circuit, thus reducing or eliminating excessive voltage drop. Preferably, the CDM clamp circuit is integrated into the circuit that it is protecting by having the two circuits share the same silicon source region. In a preferred embodiment input circuit, the same diffusion region is the source of both the input transistor and its associated CDM clamp transistor.
