Abstract
A miniature passive structure for electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection and input/output (I/O) matching for a high frequency integrated circuit is provided. The miniature passive structure includes at least one shunt stub and at least one load line. The shunt stub(s) each provide a corresponding ESD discharge path. The load line(s) are coupled to the shunt stub(s) and provide loading effects for the shunt stub(s).
