Abstract

Low power semiconductor components require minimizing leakage currents including those from ESD protection circuits. Here, MOSFET ESD power clamps with substantial leakage reduction over previous approaches are presented. Designs are described for core logic circuits and for I/O applications where supply voltages exceed what single gate oxides can reliably sustain.
