摘要: A combined isolator and power switch is disclosed. Such devices are useful in isolating low voltage components such as control compilers from motors or generators working at high voltages. The combined isolator and power switch includes circuits to transfer internal power from its low voltage side to the switch driver circuits on the high voltage side. The combined isolator and switch is compact and easy to use.

摘要: Components can be damaged if they are exposed to excess voltages. A device is disclosed herein which can be placed in series with a component and a node that may be exposed to high voltages. If the voltage becomes too high, the device can autonomously switch into a relatively high impedance state, thereby protecting the other components.

摘要: A protection device is provided that exhibits a turn on time of order of one nanosecond or less. Such a device provides enhanced protection for integrated circuits against electrostatic discharge events. This in turn reduces the risk of device failure in use. The protection device can include a bipolar transistor structure connected between a node to be protected and a discharge path.

摘要: The disclosed technology generally relates to integrated circuit devices with wear out monitoring capability. An integrated circuit device includes a wear-out monitor device configured to record an indication of wear-out of a core circuit separated from the wear-out monitor device, wherein the indication is associated with localized diffusion of a diffusant within the wear-out monitor device in response to a wear-out stress that causes the wear-out of the core circuit.

摘要: A protection device is provided that is placed in series connection between an input or signal node and a node to be protected. If the node to be protected is a relatively high impedance node, such as the gate of a MOSFET, then the protection device need not carry much current. This enables it to be built to be very fast. This enables it to respond rapidly to an overvoltage event so as to protect the circuit connected to the node to be protected. The protection device may be used in conjunction with other protection cells that offer greater current carrying capability and controllable trigger voltages, but which are intrinsically slower acting.

摘要: A transistor is provided in which an elongate drain region has end portions formed in parts of the transistor where features of the transistor structure have been modified or omitted. These structures lessen the current flow or electric field gradients at the end portions of the drain. This provides a transistor that has improved on-state breakdown performance without sacrificing off state breakdown performance.
