Abstract
A circuit () can include a first section () that can provide a designated function within an integrated circuit device that can be altered due to current injection at a node (). A mirror section () can mirror the effects of current injection on one or more devices within first section () and generate an output indication INJ_EFF representing such effects. In one very particular arrangement, detection of an injected current can be used to prevent false triggering of a switched electrostatic discharge (ESD) current path.
