Abstract

See full text

A semiconductor device is provided. The semiconductor device includes: a high-pass filter circuit, configured to provide a first voltage; an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection device; and a trigger circuit, coupled to the high-pass filter circuit and the ESD protection device, wherein when an ESD event caused by positive electric charges occurs on a first rail, the trigger circuit provides a second voltage, which is lower than the first voltage, to the ESD protection device, so that electric charges of the ESD event are directed to a second rail through the ESD protection device.
