Abstract
A protection circuit network includes one or more protection devices, used to protect one or more devices in an integrated circuit (IC) design. The protection devices are globally coupled together, for connection to an internal or external power supply. During manufacture of the IC, the protection circuit network protects the at-risk devices. During operation of the IC, the protection circuit network is powered down, such that excessive current leakage is avoided.
