Abstract
An integrated circuit with a boot strap clamp protecting an input/output transistor coupled to a bondpad where the boot strap clamp is comprised of a protection resistor coupled between the input/output transistor and the bondpad and a bootstrap clamp transistor coupled between the drain of the input/output transistor and the gate of the input/output transistor. An integrated circuit with a boot strap clamp protecting an input/output transistor coupled to a bondpad where the boot strap clamp is comprised of a protection resistor coupled between the input/output transistor and the bondpad and a bootstrap clamp diode coupled between the drain of the input/output transistor and the gate of the input/output transistor and a biasing resistor coupled between the gate and source of the input/output transistor.
