Abstract
Power consumption of electronic components is reduced, particularly in a multi-chip package. Embodiments reduce parasitic capacitance of a semiconductor chip by reducing ESD protection circuitry that is not needed during operation of the package. ESD protection circuitry would be operational during production and/or testing of the chip, but some circuitry would be disabled or removed prior to normal operation of the multi-chip package.
