Abstract

PURPOSE:To protect a switch completely from a surge by separately forming voltage as a reference flowing out the surge through a diode. CONSTITUTION:When a positive surge larger than supply voltage VCC is applied to an input-output terminal 11 for a switch 13, the forward voltage drop VF of a diode 15 and the Zener voltage VZ of a Zener-diode 20 are set to values lower than supply voltage VCC only by a value lower than the value of the forward voltage drop VF of the diode to the input-output terminal 11. Consequently, overvoltage is not generated at the terminal 11. When a negative surge is applied to the terminal 11, on the other hand, surge currents flow through the terminal 11. The potential of the terminal 11 is not made lower than common potential because the potential of an emitter in a transistor 23 is fixed at the forward voltage drop VF of the diode at that time. Operation at a time when the positive or negative surge is applied to an input-output terminal 12 is also made the same as the terminal 11.

On the other hand, a case will be described in which a negative surge lower than ground is applied to the input/output terminal 11 of the switch/7 switch 13. The base potential of the transistor 23 is always maintained at the forward voltage drop of the two diodes 24 and 25, that is, VFX2, by the resistor 22, the diode 24, and the voltage at the emitter of the transistor 23.
There is a difference between the base potential of transistor 23 and the base-emitter voltage V[lE of transistor 23, and the base-emitter voltage VBE of transistor 23 and the diode operating voltage VF are kept equal. transistor 2
The potential of the emitter of 3 is the forward voltage drop VF of the diode.
is kept at the same value. Now, when a negative surge is applied to the input/output terminal 11 of the switch 13, a surge current flows through the path of the power supply voltage Vcc, the collector of the transistor 23, the emitter of the transistor 23, the diode 16, and then the input/output terminal 11. As described above, since the potential of the emitter of the transistor is fixed to the diode forward voltage drop VF, the potential of the input/output terminal 11 will never become lower than the common potential. The operation when positive and negative surges are applied to the input/output terminal 12 is similar to that of the input/output terminal 11.
