ABSTRACT:
The drains of the PMOS transistor and the NMOS transistor of a driver are separated and connected to two spaced-apart pins. The spaced-apart pins provide ESD protection to the NMOS transistor, which can be turned on during an ESD event by voltages that propagate through the PMOS transistor during the ESD event.
