Abstract

PURPOSE:To provide a protective circuit which can operate with a high speed by providing 1st diode which applies a current to a substrate from the gate electrode of a P-type channel transistor, 1st protective resistor connected between the gate electrode and an input terminal, 2nd diode which applies a current to the gate electrode of an N-type channel transistor from the substrate of the transistor and 2nd protective resistor connected between the gate and the input terminal. CONSTITUTION:A diode 5 and a resistor 41 which are connected to a P-type channel transistor 1 are respectively isolated from a diode 6 and a resistor 42 which are connected to an N-type channel transistor 2. Therefore, time constants of charging and discharging are t1=R1(Ci1+C01) for the P-type channel transistor and t2=R2(Ci2+C02) for the N-type channel transistor. If R1=R2 and Ci1=Ci2, t1=t2 and there is no problem concerning the circuit operation. If Ci1, Ci2, R1 and R2 are so designed as to be equal to Ci and R of a conventional protective circuit, the operation speed twice the conventional speed can be realized.
