........ transistor is diode-connected, there is no more reason for those GPs to stay.
if some of the multiples are controlled by other signal, that GP will be used for future revision (changing the multiple of the output transistor).
you are right the transistors are diode-connected because they are used as ESD for this PAD. But looking on the orientation of the floating gate I think it will not be possible for it to change the multiple of the transistor.
if you have an idea i will really appreciate if u will share it...
tnx
