Abstract
Embodiments provide an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit and an electrostatic discharge method. The ESD protection circuit includes: a pulse detection unit (), a discharge transistor (), a feedback delay unit (), and a processing unit (). A first terminal of the pulse detection unit () is connected to a first pad (), a second terminal of the pulse detection unit () is connected to a second pad (), and an output terminal of the pulse detection unit () is configured to output a detection result signal. A gate of the discharge transistor () is connected to the output terminal of the pulse detection unit (), a drain of the discharge transistor () is connected to the first pad (), and a source of the discharge transistor () is connected to the second pad (). The feedback delay unit () includes a PMOS transistor (Mp) and an NMOS transistor (Mn).
