    摘要: A higher voltage switching circuit based on a standard process limits the lowest applied voltage to an intermediate voltage between the higher voltage and ground, instead of ground. In this way, the maximum electric field across the gate dielectric is greatly reduced. In additional the use of p-type triple well also reduces junction breakdown in some embodiments. This concept is also valid in the case where the high voltage is negative, in which case the intermediate voltage is also negative.
