11.7.3 ESD Pin Protection Strategy
To protect an integrated circuit against Electro-
Static Discharge the stress must be controlled to
prevent degradation or destruction of the circuit el-
ements. The stress generally affects the circuit el-
ements which are connected to the pads but can
also affect the internal devices when the supply
pads receive the stress. The elements to be pro-
tected must not receive excessive current, voltage
or heating within their structure.
An ESD network combines the different input and
output ESD protections. This network works, by al-
lowing safe discharge paths for the pins subjected
to ESD stress. Two critical ESD stress cases are
presented in Figure 59 and Figure 60 for standard
pins.
