Summary:The present invention relates to an IC (Integrated Circuit) providing ESD (Electro-Static Discharge) protection and an ESD protection system. An apparatus comprises an integrated circuit (IC) including an external IC connection, a high impedance circuit, a biasing circuit communicatively coupled to the external IC connection via the high impedance circuit, and an electro-static discharge (ESD) protection circuit coupled to the biasing circuit to form a circuit shunt path leading from the IC external connection to the ESD protection circuit via the high impedance circuit.
