A novel, area-efficient transient power-rail electrostatic discharge (ESD) clamp circuit is proposed in this work. Current-mirror capacitors are used to reduce the layout area. Logic threshold voltages of inverters are modified to ensure a fully active on-state for the clamp device in ESD conditions. The proposed circuit reduces the layout area by about 56% compared with a circuit without current-mirror...
A power clamp circuit using current mirror is proposed in this article. The current mirror is used for capacitance multiplication in the proposed circuit. Besides, the proposed circuit has different turn-on and turn-off paths towards clamp transistor and it employs a non-traditional phase inverter in the turn-on path of clamp transistor. Simulation results verify that the proposed circuit has enhanced...
