A high-energy pulse protection device (10) protects an integrated circuit (28 and 30). The integrated circuit (28 and 30) is associated with an integrated circuit substrate region (64). The high-energy pulse protection device (10), has a protection circuit substrate region (74) that is disassociated from the integrated circuit substrate region (64). A primary protection circuit (40 and 42) is associated with the protection circuit substrate region (74) and has at least one connection (22) with the integrated circuit (28 and 30) for receiving and dissipating, through the at least one connection (22), a high-energy pulse. This protects the integrated circuit (28 and 30) from the high-energy pulse. |
