    摘要: Bi-directional back-to-back stacked SCRs for high-voltage pin ESD protection, methods of manufacture and design structures are provided. The device includes a symmetrical bi-directional back-to-back stacked silicon controlled rectifier (SCR). An anode of a first of the back-to-back stacked SCR is connected to an input. An anode of a second of the back-to-back stacked SCR is connected to ground. Cathodes of the first and second of the back-to-back stacked SCR are connected together. Each of the symmetrical bi-directional back-to-back SCRs include a pair of diodes directing current towards the cathodes which, upon application of a voltage, become reverse biased effectively and deactivating elements from one of the symmetrical bi-directional back-to-back SCRs while the diodes of another of the symmetrical bi-directional back-to-back SCRs direct current in the same direction as the reverse biased diodes.

    摘要: Circuits and methods of fabricating circuits that provide electrostatic discharge protection, as well as methods of protecting an integrated circuit from electrostatic discharge. The protection circuit may include a power clamp device, a timing circuit including a resistor and a capacitor that is coupled with the resistor at a node, and a power clamp device coupled with the timing circuit at the node. The capacitor includes a plurality of capacitor elements. The protection circuit further includes a plurality of electronic fuses. Each electronic fuse is coupled with a respective one of the capacitor elements. A field effect transistor may be coupled in parallel with the resistor of the timing circuit, and may be used to bypass the resistor to provide a programming current to any electronic fuse coupled with a capacitor element of abnormally low impedance.

    摘要: Circuits and methods for providing electrostatic discharge protection. The protection circuit may include a power clamp device, a timing circuit including a resistor and a capacitor that is coupled with the resistor at a node, a transmission gate configured to selectively connect the node of the timing circuit with the power clamp device, and a control circuit coupled with the node. The control circuit is configured to control the transmission gate based upon whether or not the capacitor is defective. The timing circuit may be deactivated if the capacitor in the timing circuit is defective and the associated chip is powered. Alternatively, the timing circuit may be activated if the capacitor in the timing circuit is not defective.
