The CMOS output drivers in the I/O pins intrinsically provide
electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. There are two cases to consider
for ESD voltage strikes: positive voltage zap and negative voltage zap.
A positive ESD voltage zap occurs when a positive voltage is present on
an I/O pin due to an ESD charge event. This can cause the N+ (Drain)/P-
Substrate junction of the N-channel drain to break down and the N+
(Drain)/P-Substrate/N+ (Source) intrinsic bipolar transistor turns on to
discharge ESD current from I/O pin to GND. The dashed line (see
