ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE PROTECTION APPARATUS AND METHOD THEREFOR

摘要

An electrostatic discharge protection apparatus (100) comprises stack arrangement (101) having first electrostatic discharge protection element (102) and a second electrostatic discharge protection element (114). The stack arrangement (101) is arranged to provide a bias potential between the first and second electrostatic discharge protection elements (102, 114). In one embodiment, the bias potential can be achieved by a clamp arrangement (122) coupled across the stack arrangement (101).
