Zusammenfassung:A protection circuit including a low-leakage electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit and at least one bracing circuit, the at least one bracing circuit including an RC input stage connected between a pad and ground, a driver transistor configured to drive a plurality of components of the at least one bracing circuit, a series transistor on an input line configured to act as a high impedance element during an ESD event, and a mini-clamp configured to short the input line to ground to protect a circuit to be protected during an ESD event.
