Abstract
An integrated circuit is provided in which a surge protector, protecting against modest over-voltage events which may contain a lot of energy, and an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protector, protecting against high voltage events that may contain only a little energy, are provided within the integrated circuit package. The two types of protectors may protect against different types of electrical events.
