Electrostatic discharge circuit

Abstract

An electrostatic discharge circuit, connected between at least three terminals, the electrostatic discharge circuit including at least one electrostatic discharge circuit element further including at least one circuit element including a body in a floating state. The body in a floating state may provide a path to discharge an electrostatic current. The electrostatic discharge circuit may be a pull-up circuit, a plurality of pull-up circuits, a pull-down circuit, a plurality of pull-down circuits, a power clamp, a plurality of power clamps, or other similar circuit or circuits. The at least three terminals may include one or more power terminals, one or more ground terminals, and/or one or more I/O terminals.
