Abstract
An apparatus includes one or more circuits configured to control an Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) clamp device. The one or more circuits include a Resistor-Capacitor (RC) delay portion, a pull-up device, a pull-down device and a discharge pathway. The RC delay portion is configured to control the pull-up device. The pull-up device is connected to a control node of the pull-down device to control the pull-down device. The pull-down device is configured to control the ESD clamp device. The discharge pathway is connected to the control node of the pull-down device to discharge the control node in non-ESD conditions.
