ABSTRACT:
An improvement to a digital integrated circuit of the type having a functional circuit that is susceptible to damage from an electrostatic discharge. An electrostatic discharge protection element is placed in series with the functional circuit and disposed upstream in a normal direction of current flow from the functional circuit. The electrostatic discharge protection element includes at least one of a resistive choke that exhibits thermal runaway and an inductive choke.
