A input circuit provides ESD protection to an integrated circuit comprising a Vdd pad, a Vss pad, a plurality of input and output pads, a Vdd power rail, and a Vss power rail. A large diode sufficient to carry ESD current is placed directly between the Vss pad and the Vdd power rail, and the input pads are connected to the Vdd power rail through respective diodes.
