A circuit includes an output driver, where the output driver includes a pull-up device and a pull-down device. The pull-up device has a first control terminal that is responsive to an RC-timer so as to bias the pull-up device on in response to an electrostatic discharge (ESD) event that activates a device coupled to an output of the RC-timer. The pull-down device has a second control terminal that, for one aspect, is in a substantially indeterminate state (i.e. the second control terminal may be a "1", "0" or some other voltage, which may or may not be within the voltage range between "1" and "0") during the ESD event.
