<p>A circuit for providing electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is disclosed. The circuit comprises a pair of CMOS field effect pull up and pull down transistors with reduced resistance source and drain, having a well resistor formed external to them between supply and ground busses respectively. During an ESD event, the well resistors serve to both limit the current flow through the transistors, and reduce the voltage drop across them.</p> |
