An ESD-robust I/O driver circuit is disclosed. Embodiments include providing a first NMOS transistor having a first source, a first drain, and a first gate; coupling the first source is coupled to a ground rail, and the first drain to an I/O pad; providing a gate driver control circuit including a second NMOS transistor having a second source, a second drain, and a second gate; and coupling the second drain to the first gate, the second source to the ground rail, wherein the gate driver control circuit provides a ground potential to the first gate during an ESD event occurring from the I/O pad to the ground rail. |
