Abstract
Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection design for mixed-voltage I/O interfaces has been one of the key challenges of system-on-achip
(SOC) implementation in nanoscale CMOS processes. The on-chip ESD protection circuit for mixed-voltage I/O interfaces should
meet the gate-oxide reliability constraints and prevent the undesired leakage current paths. This paper presents an overview on the design
concept and circuit implementations of ESD protection designs for mixed-voltage I/O interfaces with only low-voltage thin-oxide CMOS
transistors. Especially, the ESD protection designs for mixed-voltage I/O interfaces with ESD bus and high-voltage-tolerant power-rail
ESD clamp circuits are presented and discussed.
