Abstract
An electrostatic discharge protection circuit is proposed comprising a series connection of a pull-up resistor and a trigger device, connecting a first and a second supply terminal. A coupling device is connected between the first and the second supply terminal, and further connected to the series connection so as to generate at an output a compensation voltage depending on a trigger voltage of the trigger device. A discharge device for discharging current from an electrostatic discharge event is connected between the first and second supply terminal and connected to the output of the coupling device, and operating in response to the compensation voltage.
