Abstract: An electronic device includes a first device terminal and a second device terminal. A first and a second thyristor are reverse-connected between the two device terminals. A first and a second MOS transistor are respectively coupled between the conduction electrodes (emitters and collectors) of the two NPN transistors of the two thyristors. A third MOS transistor is coupled between the emitters of the two NPN bipolar transistors of the two thyristors and a fourth MOS transistor is coupled between the bases of the two PNP bipolar transistors of the two thyristors. A gate region is common to all the MOS transistors and a semiconductor substrate region includes the substrates of all the MOS transistors

Abstract: A protection device includes a triac and triggering units. Each triggering unit is formed by a MOS transistor configured to operate at least temporarily in a hybrid operating mode and a field-effect diode. The field-effect diode has a controlled gate that is connected to the gate of the MOS transistor.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a thyristor having an anode, a cathode, a first bipolar transistor disposed on the anode side. A second bipolar transistor is disposed on the cathode side. These two bipolar transistors are nested and connected between the anode and the cathode. A MOS transistor is coupled between the collector region and the emitter region of the second bipolar transistor. The transistor has a gate region connected to the cathode via a resistive semiconductor region incorporating at least a part of the base region of the second bipolar transistor.
