Abstract: | A novel dynamic-floating-gate technique is proposed to improve ESD robustness of the CMOS output buffers with small driving/sinking currents. This dynamic-floating-gate design can effectively solve the ESD protection issue which is due to the different circuit connections on the output devices. By adding suitable time delay to dynamically float the gates of the output NMOS/PMOS devices which are originally unused in the output buffer, the human-body-model (machine-model) ESD failure threshold of a 2-mA output buffer can be practically improved from the original 1.0 kV (100 V) up to greater than 8 kV (1500 V) in a 0.35-mu m bulk CMOS process.
