An electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit includes a clamping transistor and a trigger circuit. The clamping transistor is coupled between a first power supply voltage terminal and a second power supply voltage terminal. The trigger circuit includes a detection circuit, first and second transistors, and first, second, and third inverters. The detection circuit is coupled to monitor a power supply voltage. The first inverter has an input terminal coupled to a current electrode of the first transistor, and an output terminal coupled to a control electrode of the clamping transistor. The second inverter and the third inverter form a feedback path from the output of the first inverter to the control electrode of the first transistor. The second inverter has a switching voltage that is lower than a midpoint voltage of a power supply voltage provided to the first and second power supply voltage terminals. |
