ABSTRACT:
An electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit for an integrated circuit formed of a plurality of individual circuit cells which are connected to form the desired circuit. A pair of buss lines, preferably in closely spaced relation, extend about the circuit formed by the circuit cells. A plurality of ESD protection circuits are electrically connected between the buss lines in a spaced apart relationship, preferably in a closed in a close relationship to the electrical connections of the circuit cells to be protected.
