ABSTRACT:
In an SCR-based ESD protection clamp, the voltage overshoot during an ESD event is reduced by separately controlling the voltage pulse to the drain and emitter contacts of the SCR. The voltage pulse to the drain is preferably delayed using a delay circuit such as an RC circuit. This allows double conductivity modulation to be achieved with lower voltage overshoot.
