Abstract
A transient detection circuit coupled between a first power line and a second power line and including a first control unit, a setting unit, and a voltage regulation unit. The first control unit generates a first control signal. The first control signal is at a first level when an electrostatic discharge (ESD) event occurs. The first control signal is at a second level when the ESD event does not occur. The setting unit sets a first node. The first node is set at the second level when the first control signal is at the first level. The voltage regulation unit regulates the first node. The voltage regulation unit regulates the level of the first node at the second level when the first control signal is at the second level.
