Adjustable maintaining voltage type electronic static discharge protecting circuit

2014 
The invention relates to the field of electronic static discharge (ESD) protecting circuits of integrated circuit chips, and in particular relates to an instantaneously-triggered and adjustable maintaining voltage type ESD protecting circuit. The adjustable maintaining voltage type electronic static discharge protecting circuit comprises an instantaneous triggering module, a release device controlled silicon and a maintaining voltage regulating module; the maintaining voltage regulating module is connected with the controlled silicon and comprises a resistor R2, a capacitor C2, an inverter INV1, a PMOS (P-channel Metal Oxide Semiconductor) Mp1 and a PMOS MP2. With the adoption of the adjustable maintaining voltage type electronic static discharge protecting circuit, the maintaining voltage can be kept to be greatly less than the power supply voltage when then chip is in an idle state, and thus the electronic static charge can be fully released; when the chip is in a working state, the maintaining voltage is more than the power supply voltage to avoid the latch-up effect.
