Abstract
An electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit for an integrated circuit (IC) that provides ESD protection during an ESD event is disclosed. The electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit includes a first electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection component and a second electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection component coupled in series to the first electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection component. A snapback holding voltage of the electrostatic discharge protection circuit is greater than the operating voltage of the electrostatic discharge protection circuit and a snapback trigger voltage of the electrostatic discharge protection circuit is lower than an oxide breakdown voltage of said integrated circuit.
