Abstract
All electrostatic discharge (ESD) pad protection structures have a non linear capacitor associated with a reversed biased p-n-junction, This paper discusses the distortion introduced by this nonlinear input capa citance given a finite signal source impedance and proposes a bootstra pped circuit to alleviate the problem, Experimental results are also p resented.
