    摘要: This application relates to a charging protection circuit. The charging protection circuit implements overcurrent protection by using a four-terminal NMOS switching transistor. In the solution provided in this application, floating management is performed on a Sub port of the four-terminal NMOS switching transistor. Specifically, when the four-terminal NMOS switching transistor is turned on, potential of the Sub port is pulled up, to avoid an excessively large internal resistance of the four-terminal NMOS switching transistor caused by an excessively large voltage between the Sub port and a drain of the four-terminal NMOS switching transistor. In addition, this application further provides a charging circuit and an electronic device.

    摘要: An electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit is provided to minimize ESD damage to an internal circuit in a CDM model. The ESD protection circuit includes two stages of discharging circuits that are coupled to an IO pin and the internal circuit, a first power clamp circuit, and a second power clamp circuit. The first power clamp circuit is electrically connected to a power rail and a ground rail to discharge a part of a current to the ground, and the second power clamp circuit is electrically connected to a second-stage discharging circuit and the ground rail, so that the other part of the current is discharged to the ground through the second power clamp circuit.

    摘要: Systems and methods are provided for a self-biasing electro-static discharge (ESD) power clamp. The ESD power clamp comprises an ESD detection circuit coupled to a positive supply voltage node and a ground voltage node. The ESD detection circuit includes a first node having a first voltage level during a standby mode and a second voltage level during an ESD mode. The ESD power clamp further comprises a discharge circuit coupled to the ESD detection circuit that includes a plurality of discharge elements a self-biasing node having a third voltage level during the standby mode. The third voltage level provides a voltage drop across at least one of the discharge elements that is less than the first voltage level. The discharge circuit provides a high-impedance path during the standby mode and a low-impedance path during the ESD mode.

    摘要: An IC, e.g., a bare die, includes an array of bit-slice tiles. Each bit-slice tile has a ground circuit, a supply circuit, an ESD protection circuit, and a bit-transmit circuit and/or bit-receive circuit for a communication protocol, such as UCIe and/or BoW. Bondpads, using an interconnect layer that can be at or near the top of the metal stack, are placed over one or more bit-slice tiles, and can connect with one or more of the circuits in these one or more of the bit-slice tiles.
    To configure the IC, one selects a communication protocol, bump pitch, and number of data bits. Based on the bump pitch, the number of bit-slice tiles per data bits is determined, and tiles are grouped for each bondpad to be used. In each group, the bondpad is created in a top interconnect layer, and connected with a circuit in a bit-slice in the group.
