Abstract
An electrostatic discharge (ESD), protection device is provided. In accordance with the present disclosure, an ESD protection device is provided that includes a series connection of a first unit having strong snapback and low series capacitance and a second high-voltage unit that displays a relatively high holding/trigger voltage to ensure latch up and improper triggering of the ESD protection device while at the same time providing high-voltage operation with low capacitive loading.
