In a snapback NMOS ESD protection structure, the output voltage presented to an internal circuit for ESD protection is limited by providing for a separate output terminal at a lower voltage than the input terminal. The voltage drop between the two terminals is achieved by connecting the input and output terminals to different parts of a ballast region of the structure and using the saturation resistance of the portion of the ballast region between the terminals to achieve the voltage drop.
