New active ESD protection design for the interface circuits between separated power domains has been proposed and successfully verified in a 0.13-mum CMOS technology. The HBM and MM ESD robustness of the separated-power-domain interface circuits with the proposed active ESD protection design can achieve over 4 kV and 400 V, respectively.
