Description

Utilize the ESD protection circuit for high voltage of power supply of electrostatic elimination with low voltage component
Technical field
The protective circuit of the relevant a kind of Electrostatic Discharge of the present invention, particularly relevant a kind of low voltage component ESD protection circuit with its eliminating when generation of static electricity that utilizes.
Background technology
In the electronic installation of precision; because the microminiaturization of circuit element; and accurate degree significantly promotes; so this class precision electronic device; particularly Nei Bu small electric sub-element is for from being produced in the operational environment; or the static of being introduced when contacting this electronic installation, all very responsive and need being protected from the user.
Therefore; in the precision electronic device of majority; all need additional designs one ESD protection circuit suitably to get rid of contingent static, with the circuit of protection in electronic installation, electronic component wherein can not be damaged because of high pressure that static brought.
As shown in Fig. 1, be the I-V curve chart of the electrostatic discharge circuit of a traditional stack NMOS.In Fig. 1, lateral seat is designated as the voltage difference that drains to source electrode, and vertically coordinate is the drain current value.Represent among the figure that when draining when the accumulation progressively of the voltage difference of source electrode is risen, the drain current value also can correspondingly rise; And after having exceeded a trigger voltage (trigger voltage) value up to draining to the voltage difference of source electrode, then can penetrate (punch through) effect thereby begin to such an extent that drain to the electric value difference value of source electrode and begin to rebound (snap-back), up to drop to keep voltage (holding voltage) value till.Then be called the district of rebounding (snap-back region) from trigger voltage to the magnitude of voltage gap of keeping the voltage.In addition, get back to the voltage difference of source electrode when draining keep voltage after, voltage difference afterwards then is to present gently to increase, and this moment, drain current also can rise on correspondence ground.
By the above as can be known; when the electrostatic potential value if greatly too during trigger voltage value; then can make the NMOS that piles up as electrostatic discharge protective circuit be switched on because of the cause of meeting penetration effect; so electrostatic induced current can be grounded release by piling up NMOS, reach the not purpose of destruction by electrostatic field of protection internal electronic element.But traditional shortcoming of piling up the NMOS electrostatic discharge protective circuit is; if the electrostatic potential value is not greater than trigger voltage value; then this electrostatic discharge protective circuit can't be switched on; that is can't get rid of electrostatic induced current thereby this electrostatic induced current and become factors of instability among can continuing to be retained in electronic installation, make the user to expect and when can cause great destruction electronic installation.
Fig. 2 show an integrated circuit in traditional stack NMOS electrostatic discharge protective circuit.The purpose of this integrated circuit is that so inside has mixed-voltage, magnitude of voltage is respectively Vdd and Vcc as the semiconductor chip that links different operating voltage or the interface of subsystem.Be attached to outside the internal circuit at one of them I/O weld pad of integrated circuit as can see from Figure 2, also be attached to the drain electrode (drain) of first NMOS (being NMOS1), the grid of NMOS1 (gate) then is linked to power supply Vdd, the source electrode of NMOS1 (source) is connected with the drain electrode of second NMOS (being NMOS2), the grid of NMOS2 (gate) then is linked to power Vcc, at last, the source electrode of NMOS2 is attached to earth terminal.
NMOS1 in Fig. 2 and NMOS2 do to pile up with cascaded structure (cascade configuration), node that both link to each other forms diffusion region altogether, has a parasitic two-carrier junction transistor (lateral bipolar junction transistor) so can be considered in the inside of piling up NMOS.When electrostatic potential value greatly too during trigger voltage, then this parasitic two-carrier junction transistor can be switched on and make static can be discharged from internal circuit.But it is as shown in Figure 1, when if the electrostatic potential value does not surpass trigger voltage, then parasitic two-carrier junction transistor can't be switched on and cause static to continue to be retained in the integrated circuit at this moment, can cause the mos gate utmost point oxide layer (gate oxide) of the I/O buffer of I/O weld pad inside to damage at last.Because in a mixed-voltage I/O circuit, the breakdown voltage of mos gate utmost point oxide layer (breakdown voltage) can diminish, so can be stacked on the electrostatic breakdown of IC interior.
In view of above-mentioned in the conventional electrostatic discharge protection circuit; when electrostatic induced current is present in the circuit but is not more than trigger voltage; the situation that can cause this protective circuit to be activated; therefore need badly and will propose a sensitiveer electrostatic discharge protective circuit of eliminating, can avoid being damaged for the electronic component that the static that does not reach trigger voltage value is done to get rid of with the protection IC interior for static existence and static.
Summary of the invention
In above-mentioned prior art, many shortcomings of conventional electrostatic discharge protection circuit, main purpose of the present invention is to propose a kind of ESD protection circuit, and it is higher for the sensitivity that static is got rid of, and can less electrostatic potential be reacted immediately.
Another object of the present invention is to propose a kind of ESD protection circuit, circuit is made of low withstand voltage electronic component, but the static of the high-voltage value of can loading passes through, to reach the effect of release electrostatic.
According to above-described purpose, the invention provides a kind of ESD protection circuit, wherein comprise: one first electrostatic detection circuit, it exports one first electrostatic detection signal; One second electrostatic detection circuit, it exports one second electrostatic detection signal; One trigger current produces circuit, and it receives the first electrostatic detection signal and the second electrostatic detection signal, exports a triggering signal then; One side two-carrier junction transistor, its base stage receives triggering signal; And one pile up the MOS circuit, when an electrostatic potential is higher than a preset value, trigger current produces circuit and can export triggering signal so, sees through side two-carrier junction transistor and makes and pile up the MOS circuit and be switched on, and become an electrostatic discharging path to get rid of electrostatic potential.
