Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: A dual time-constant rail clamp for protecting CMOS circuits during electrostatic discharge (ESD) events is described. In the new circuit, a relatively small time constant is dynamically adjusted after the clamp is triggered during the ESD event, to keep the clamp conducting and dissipate the full ESD energy. The design is area-efficient, can support applications with por-on times as fast as 200 ns, is immune to lock-on during normal pored-on operation, and corrects very quickly when accidentally triggered. The circuit is able to maintain robust performance over industry standard process, voltage, and temperature (PVT) conditions. Experimental results from fabricated silicon die and performance comparisons with the traditional circuit are presented.
