ABSTRACT:
AN ESD protection arrangement is provided which comprises an ESD protection device coupled between a terminal pad of an integrated semiconductor circuit and a supply voltage rail and a compensation loop provided between the terminal pad and an internal circuit node of the ESD protection device. The compensation loop comprises a phase shifting element to provide a predetermined phase shift between an input voltage of the ESD protection device and a compensation voltage supplied to the internal circuit node of the ESD protection device.
