Abstract
An electronic device includes first and second terminals with an electronic circuit coupled there between. The electronic circuit includes a protection circuit and a resistive-capacitive circuit. The resistive-capacitive circuit triggers the protection circuit to protect against electrostatic discharges in the presence of a current pulse between the first and second terminals. A control circuit is configured to slow down a discharge from the resistive-capacitive circuit when the protection circuit is triggered.
