Abstract

See full text

A protection circuit for an electronic circuit. The protection circuit comprises at least three diodes connected in series in such a manner that an anode terminal of a first diode is connected to a cathode terminal of a second diode to form a ring. A first terminal is connected between diodes of a first pair of consecutive diodes of the ring. A second terminal is connected between diodes of a second pair of consecutive diodes of the ring. The position of the first terminal is fixed and the position of the second terminal is selectable in such a manner that a pre-determined turn-on voltage of the at least three diodes is obtained. The diodes are formed under one or more bond pads of the electronic circuit.
