| Abstract | (73) Assignee: HIMAX TECHNOLOGIES (57) ABSTRACT LIMITED, TAINAN (TW) An electrical-overstress (EOS) protection circuit for an elec tronic device includes series-connected resistors, a mode (21) Appl. No.: 13/236,470 control Switch, and a bias circuit. The series-connected resis tors are electrically coupled between an input and an output, (22) Filed: Sep.19, 2011 and the mode-control switch is electrically coupled between the output and a ground. The bias circuit is electrically O O coupled to the input for generating a mode-control signal to Related U.S. Application Data control the mode-control Switch. The bias circuit generates (62) Division of application No. 12/710,535, filed on Feb. the mode-control signal in a way Such that the mode-control 23, 2010, now Pat. No. 8,045,306. Switch is open in a normal mode and closed in an EOS mode. |
