Abstract

The invention provides a CDM (Charged-Device-Model) electrostatic protection circuit. The CDM electrostatic protection circuit comprises an input and output pin, a power supply output terminal, a grounding terminal, a functional unit, a first level protection unit and a second level protection unit; the functional unit is connected with the input and output pin, the power supply output terminal and the grounding terminal; the first level protection unit is connected with the power supply output terminal and the grounding terminal; the second level protection unit is connected with the power supply output terminal and the grounding terminal; an inductance coil and a clamping circuit are connected in series between the first level protection unit and the second level protection unit; the clamping circuit is connected with the power supply output terminal and the grounding terminal. According to the CDM electrostatic protection circuit, the pulse voltage is mainly applied to two ends of the inductance coil when electrostatic pulses are produced and accordingly the voltage at two ends of each protection unit does not rapidly rise along with the electrostatic pulses and meanwhile the electrostatic pulses are released through the first level protection unit and the second level protection unit to implement the protection on the functional unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the design field of integrated circuit electrostatic protection circuits, in particular to a CDM electrostatic protection circuit. Background technique [0002] Integrated circuits are prone to destructive electrostatic discharge (ESD) during manufacturing, assembly and testing, or in final applications, so that integrated circuits are damaged by static electricity. [0003] ESD is typically produced by the discharge of a high voltage potential (eg, several thousand volts) and results in a short duration pulse of high current. ESD test models are usually divided into three categories. The first category is caused by the contact between human and IC. Generally, HBM (human body model) type ESD protection circuit can be made corresponding to this type of ESD. The rise time of HBM type ESD pulse is about 10ns ; The second type is caused by the contact between mechanical equipment and IC, and usually corresponding to this type of E...
