An SCR clamp provides a low impedance discharge path for static charges across on IC's pins. The SCR clamp cathode, cathode, gate anode, and anode gate float when the protected IC is disconnected from its associated circuit elements. Under this condition, the SCR clamp can be turned on at the low Vh and Ih levels of the SCR, allowing the clamp to operate to discharge static electricity at the low voltage determined by SCR junction biases.
