Electrostatic discharge and electrical overstress detection circuit

An electrostatic discharge and electrical overstress detection circuit for recording electrostatic discharge and electrical overstress events on an input/output pin coupled with an internal chip, wherein the detection circuit comprises:

• a protection circuit, a sensing circuit, a clamp circuit, several stages of sampling logic circuits connected in sequence and a storage circuit, wherein the protection circuit is coupled between the input/output pin and the internal chip and discharges to a power supply terminal when the electrostatic discharge or electrical overstress events happen, the sensing circuit and the clamp circuit are coupled between the power supply terminal and a ground terminal, each stage of sampling logic circuit is coupled to the power supply terminal and a memory cell of the storage circuit, and the first stage of sampling logic circuit is coupled to the clamp circuit, and when the electrostatic discharge or electrical overstress events happen, the several stages of sampling logic circuits sample voltage of the power supply terminal one by one and change state of corresponding memory cell, so that the electrostatic discharge or electrical overstress events are successively recorded by the memory cells.
