METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROVIDING ESD PROTECTION AND/ OR NOISE REDUCTION IN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To construct an ESD circuit in such a structure as to sufficiently protect integrated circuits having a common substrate. SOLUTION: To provide an integrated circuit having an ESD device and/or a noise suppression device which uses an inherent resistance of the substrate as a trigger for the ESD device and/or part of noise suppression.
