6.3.7 ESD and Electrical Overstress

Designers often ask questions about the capability of an operational amplifier to withstand electrical overstress.

These questions tend to focus on the device inputs, but can involve the supply voltage pins or even the output

pin. Each of these different pin functions have electrical stress limits determined by the voltage breakdown

characteristics of the particular semiconductor fabrication process and specific circuits connected to the pin.

Additionally, internal electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection is built into these circuits to protect them from

accidental ESD events both before and during product assembly.

Having a good understanding of this basic ESD circuitry and relevance to an electrical overstress event is

helpful. Figure 6-5 shows the ESD circuits contained in the OPAx310-Q1 devices. The ESD protection circuitry

involves several current-steering diodes connected from the input and output pins and routed back to the internal

power supply lines, where the input and output pins meet at an absorption device internal to the operational

amplifier. This protection circuitry is intended to remain inactive during normal circuit operation.

Note that the OPAx310-Q1 features no current-steering diodes connected between the input and positive power-

supply pin.
