摘要 |
A semiconductor device includes a rectifier coupled between a circuit ground and a terminal for coupling to an external circuit, a transistor-enhanced current path coupled to the rectifier, and a switching circuit coupled to the transistor-enhanced current path and coupled between the terminal and the circuit ground. The switching circuit is configured to turn off the transistor-enhanced current path during normal operation, and turn on the transistor-enhanced current path when an electrostatic discharge occurs at the terminal. |
