Abstract

An operating circuit is coupled between an input / output pad and a ground terminal, and includes a core circuit, an N-type transistor, an electrostatic discharge protection circuit and a control circuit. The N-type transistor determines whether to conduct a path between the core circuit and the ground terminal according to a voltage level of a specific node. The electrostatic discharge protection circuit is coupled between the input / output pad and the core circuit, is used for preventing the electrostatic discharge current from flowing through the core circuit, and comprises a detection circuitand a release assembly. The detection circuit detects whether an electrostatic discharge event occurs in the input / output pad or not and is used for generating a detection signal. The release assembly provides a release path for releasing the electrostatic discharge current according to the detection signal. The control circuit controls the voltage level of the specific node according to the detection signal.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an operating circuit, in particular to an operating circuit with electrostatic discharge (electrostatic discharge; ESD) protection function. Background technique [0002] Component damage caused by electrostatic discharge (ESD) has become one of the most important reliability issues for integrated circuit products. Especially as the size continues to shrink to the level of deep sub-nanometers, the gate oxide layer of metal oxide semiconductors is getting thinner and thinner, and integrated circuits are more likely to be damaged by electrostatic discharge phenomena. Contents of the invention [0003] The invention provides an operation circuit, which is coupled between an input and output pad and a ground terminal, and includes a core circuit, an N-type transistor, an electrostatic discharge protection circuit and a control circuit. The N-type transistor determines whether to conduct a path between the core circuit an...
