Abstract

See full text

An integrated circuit self-protected against a reversal of its supply battery polarity comprises a first DMOS power transistor connected with its source electrode side to an electric load to be driven toward ground, and a second, protective DMOS transistor which is connected with its source electrode side to a positive pole of the battery and with its drain electrode side to the drain electrode of the first transistor. The first and second transistors have in common the drain region formed on a single pod in the semiconductor substrate.
