ABSTRACT:
An Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection circuit activates an ESD conduction circuit in response to an ESD event. A deactivation circuit generates an exponentially increasing deactivation signal in response to the ESD event, such that once the deactivation signal has increased to a trigger point of a control circuit, the ESD conduction circuit is deactivated. An active resistance component within the deactivation circuit incorporates a biasing element to maintain a resistance value of the active resistance component substantially constant over all operating conditions.
