ABSTRACT:
A hardware description language (HDL) design structure encoded on a machine readable data storage medium, the HDL design comprising elements that when processed in a computer aided design system generates a machine executable representation of a device for implementing dynamic refresh protocols for DRAM based cache. The HDL design structure further comprises an integrated circuit having a differential driver, comprising: a first driver and a second driver forming the differential driver, the drivers are coupled in parallel between a first voltage source and a second voltage source; a first switch coupled to the first driver and configured to turn off the first driver during an ESD event such that the first driver sustains stress during the ESD event; and a second switch coupled to the second driver and configured to turn off the second driver during the ESD event such that the second driver sustains stress during the ESD event.
