Electrostatic discharge protection device

摘要

The device has two bipolar transistors (20, 21) connected in series with two terminals (6, 8). The two terminals are connected to a supply and a reference voltage, respectively. The transistors have their bases interconnected by a connection comprising two resistors (R1, R2). The resistors are coupled in series through another connection. A set of capacitors is coupled between one terminal and the base on one transistor. An independent claim is also included for an electronic device.
