ABSTRACT:
An ESD protection network (20) provides energy discharge paths for an ESD event at an external circuit port (42). The paths include one portion (28) into an integrated circuit substrate (72) and other portions (29, 30) from the substrate to external power supply ports (43, 44). In particular, these paths include energy discharge routes around on-circuit voltage sources.
