Abstract
An ESD circuit is connected between an I/O pad and a first node. The ESD circuit includes a bi-directional buck circuit, a triggering circuit and a discharging circuit. The bi-directional buck circuit includes a forward path and a reverse path. The forward path and the reverse path are connected between the I/O pad and a second node. The triggering circuit is connected between the second node and the first node. The discharging circuit is connected between the second node and the first node, and connected with the triggering circuit. When the I/O pad receives negative ESD zap, the ESD current flows from the first node to the I/O pad through the discharging circuit and the reverse path. When the I/O pad receives positive ESD zap, the ESD current flows from the I/O pad to the first node through the forward path and the discharging circuit.
