    Abstract

    A new high-voltage-tolerant power-rail electrostatic discharge (ESD) clamp circuit with a special ESD detection circuit realized with only 1×VDD devices for 3×VDD-tolerant mixed-voltage I/O interfaces is proposed. The proposed power-rail ESD clamp circuit with excellent ESD protection effectiveness has been verified in a 0.13-μm CMOS process with only 1.2-V devices.
