Abstract
Embodiments of a method for providing electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection for an Input/Output (I/O) device, an ESD protection device for an I/O device, and an I/O device are described. In one embodiment, a method for providing ESD protection for an I/O device involves activating a switch device to turn off the I/O device during an ESD event and deactivating the switch device to turn on the I/O device in the absence of an ESD event. Other embodiments are also described.
