INTEGRATED CIRCUIT, ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND ESD PROTECTION THEREFOR

摘要

An integrated circuit (200) comprises electro-static discharge (ESD) protection circuitry (210) arranged to provide ESD protection to one or more external connector(s) (230) of the integrated circuit (200). The ESD protection circuitry (210) comprises at least one ESD protection component (240) coupled to the one or more external connectors (230) for providing ESD protection thereto. The ESD protection circuitry (210) further comprises an ESD connector (260), coupled to the one or more external connector(s) (230), arranged to couple supplementary ESD protection to the one or more external connector(s) (230).
