Integrated passive device with electrostatic discharge protection mechanism

Abstract

An integrated passive device with electrostatic discharge protection mechanism includes an antenna terminal for receiving and transmitting a wireless signals, a first frequency terminal for receiving and transmitting a signal with a first frequency, a first filtering circuit for filtering the wireless signal, and an electrostatic discharge protection element for conducting static electricity to ground. The first filtering circuit includes a first filtering element with a first end electrically connected to the antenna terminal, a second filtering element with a first end electrically connected to a second end of the first filtering element and a second end electrically connected to the first frequency terminal, and a third filtering element with a first end electrically connected to the second end of the first filtering element and a second end electrically connected to ground. The electrostatic discharge protection element is coupled between the second end of the first filtering element and ground.
