ABSTRACT:
A tie-high, tie-low circuit having a tie-high output and a tie-low output comprises a regenerative device to be coupled with both the tie-high and the tie-low outputs, and at least a PMOS device and a NMOS device to be coupled respectively with a high voltage and a low voltage. A diode, a NMOS device, and a PMOS device are used as regenerative devices in three examples. These three examples exhibit improved electrostatic discharge (ESD) tolerance.
