Description of the invention (1) Background of the invention (Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) The invention relates to a bus switch. Figure 1 is a circuit diagram of a conventional bus switch. Figure 1 shows a bus switch 1 0 1 for selecting one of the two input signals IN 1 and I N2 in response to the selection signals SEL 1 and SEL2 and transmitting the selected signal to a bus line BUS ° bus switch 10 1 includes Two 1 ^ channels ^ [〇3 (NM〇S) transistors 102-1 and 102-2 °, one end of the current path of one of the NMOS transistors 102-1 and 102-2 is connected to the busbar BUS, the other ends of the transistor's current path are connected to their associated input lines 103-1 and 103-2. The outputs of the two buffer circuits 104 — 1 and 10 4-2 are connected to the input lines 1 0 3 1 and 10 3-2 respectively. The input signals IN 1 and IN 2 are supplied to the NMOS transistors 1 0 2 — 1 and 1 0 2 — via the buffer circuits 10 4 — 1 and 10 4 — 2 and the input lines 10 3 — 1 and 10 3 — 2 respectively. The other end of the current path of 2. Printed N MOS transistor 1 0 2 — 1 and 1 0 2 — 2 gates of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs' Consumer Cooperatives are supplied via buffer circuits 1 0 5-1 and 1 0 5-2 to select the signal SEL1 And SEL2. In response to the selection signals SEL1 and SEL2, the NMOS transistors 10-2 and 10-2 are selectively activated. Therefore, one of the input signals I N 1 and I N 2 is selected and transmitted to the bus line B U S. The protective diodes 10-7-1 and 10-7-2 are connected to the input lines 10-3-1 and 10-3-2, respectively. Because a system needs to operate at high speed, when the buffer circuit 1 〇 04-1 this paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) -4- 1236798 A7 ___B7_ 5. Description of the invention (2) and 1 The 0-4-2 output noise, especially the "undershoot" problem caused when the output level changes from a high level to a low level, becomes quite serious. (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Suppose that the output level of the buffer circuit 1 0 4-1 undershoots and the voltage at point A in the input line 103-1 drops to about -2 V instantaneously, As shown in Figure 2A. In the circuit shown in FIG. 1, the protection diode 1 〇 7-1 connected to the input line 10 3-丄 is regarded as the protection input line, and the voltage at point B in the input line 1 0 3-1 is not cut off. 7 V。 Higher than the protection diode 10-7 -1 drop forward voltage VF, and maintained at about 10.7V. However, the threshold voltages Vth of the NMOS transistors 102-1 and 102-2 constituting the bus switch 101 are close to 0.7V. Therefore, when the NMOS transistor 102-1 is turned off as shown in FIG. 3, if a "undershoot" occurs in the input line 1 03-1 in Figs. 2A and 2B, the NMOS transistor 1 〇 The gate-to-source voltage VGS of 2 — 1 will exceed the threshold voltage V t hB of the NMOS transistor 1 0 — 2 and the NMOS transistor 1 2 — 1 will start instantly. If the potential of the bus line B U S is at a high level, the current I flows to the input line 103-1 at a low level and the potential of the bus line B U S decreases. Printed by the Consumers' Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs The above-mentioned drop in the potential of the bus bar B U S is caused by the inadvertent activation of the bus switch 101, which is instantaneous. However, in order to operate a system at high speed, even if the other circuits are connected to the bus bar U S even if the voltage drops momentarily, it will be regarded as the cause of adverse effects such as failure. This paper size is in accordance with Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) -5- 1236798 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (3) Summary of the invention The invention is made in consideration of the above circumstances. It is an object of the present invention to provide a bus switch that is not inadvertently activated by noise that is unavoidably applied to a system operating at high speed. In order to achieve the above object, the bus switch according to the first aspect of the present invention includes: first and second wirings, at least one wiring being regarded as one bus wiring; a protection transistor connected to at least one of the first and second wirings; and The switching transistor has a current path connected to the first and second wirings. The critical voltage of the switching transistor is higher than the critical voltage of the protection transistor. In the bus switch according to the first aspect of the present invention, when "undershoot" occurs in at least one of the first and second wirings, some of the undershoot voltage is not higher than the critical voltage of the protection transistor. Remove. Since the threshold voltage of the switching transistor is set higher than the threshold voltage of the protection transistor, the voltage generated between the wiring where the 'undershoot' occurs and the gate of the switching transistor will not exceed the threshold voltage of the switching transistor. As a result, even when "undershoot" occurs in at least one of the first and second wirings, formation of a channel in the switching transistor can be suppressed, and inadvertent activation of the switching transistor can be prevented. A bus switch according to a second aspect of the present invention includes: first and second wirings, at least one wiring being regarded as a bus line; a protection diode connected to at least one of the first and second wirings; and a switching transistor Has a current path connected to the first and second wirings, wherein the critical voltage of the switching transistor is higher than the falling forward voltage of the protection diode. In the bus switch according to the second aspect of the present invention, the paper size of the switch transistor is in accordance with the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Order -·· Printed by the Employees' Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 1236798 Λ7 _B7_ V. Description of Invention (4) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) The threshold voltage of the body is set higher than that of the protection diode向 volt. Similar to the busbar in the first point of view, the voltage generated between the "undershoot" wiring and the gate of the switching transistor will not exceed the critical voltage of the switching transistor. As a result, even when at least the first and The occurrence of "undershoot" in one of the second wires can also inhibit the formation of channels in the switching transistor, and can prevent inadvertent activation of the switching transistor, like the bus switch of the first aspect. A bus switch according to a third aspect of the present invention includes: first and second wirings, at least one wiring being regarded as a bus line; a protection element connected to at least one of the first and second wirings; and a switching transistor, Having a current path connected to the first and second wirings, wherein the protection element removes a voltage generated between the gate of the switching transistor and at least one of the first and second wirings to reduce to a low level when the switching transistor is turned off The threshold voltage of the switching transistor is printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. In the bus switch according to the third aspect of the present invention, the protection element is removed when the switching transistor is turned off. A voltage generated between at least one of the first and second wirings is lowered below a threshold voltage of the switching transistor. Like the bus switches of the first and second aspects, the voltage generated between the “undershoot” wiring and the gate of the switching transistor will not exceed the critical voltage of the switching transistor. As a result, even when "undershoot 1" occurs in at least one of the first and second wiring, the formation of a channel in the switching transistor can be suppressed, and inadvertent activation of the switching transistor can be prevented, as in the first and second viewpoint The other purpose and advantages of the present invention will be described in the following description constituting a part of the present invention, or can be learned by implementing the present invention.

The bus lines B U S are arranged on a circuit board. The bus switch 1 includes two N-channel MOS (N MOS) transistor 2-1 and 2-2 as switching transistors. One end of the current path of the NMOS transistor 2-1 and 2-2 is connected to the bus line BUS, and the other ends of the current path are connected to the two input lines 3-1 and 3-2, respectively. The outputs of the two buffer circuits 4 — 1 and 4 — 2 are connected to the input lines 3--9-This paper size applies to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) 1236798 Λ7 _____ B7________ 5.

The input signals I N 1 and I N 2 are supplied to the other ends of the current paths of the NMOS transistors 2-1 and 2-2 via the buffer circuits 4-1 and 4-2 and the input lines 3-1 and 3-2, respectively. The buffer circuits 4-1 and 4-2 are formed of wafers other than the semiconductor integrated circuit wafer on which the busbar switch 1 is formed. The gates of the N M 0 S transistors 2-1 and 2-2 are supplied via buffer circuits 5-1 and 5-2 to select signals SEL1 and SEL2, respectively. In response to the selection signals SEL1 and SEL2, the NMOS transistors 2-1 and 2-1 are selectively activated. Therefore, one of the input signals I Ν 1 and I Ν 2 is selected and transmitted to the bus line B U S. Diodes each of NMOS transistors 6-1 and 6-2 as an input protection element are connected to their associated wiring to connect N MOS transistors 2-1 and 2-2 to Bus line BUS. Similarly, the diode connection protection NMOS transistor NMOS 7-1 and 7-2 are connected to the input lines 3-1 and 3-2, respectively. The snubber circuits 5-1 and 5-2 and the protection NMOS transistors 6-1, 6-2, 7-1, and 7-2 are formed on the same chip on which the bus switch 1 is formed. The Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs prints and protects the current paths of NMMOS transistors 6-1 and 6-2 at one end connected to the current paths used to connect NMOS transistors 2-1 and 2-2. The relevant wiring to the bus bar BUS on one end, and the current path of the NMOS transistor 6-1 and 6 _ 2 is connected to the power supply terminal on the other end, such as a ground terminal V ss. The gates of the NMOS transistors 6-1 and 6-2 are connected to their associated ground terminals Vss. Therefore, the protection NMOS transistors 6-1 and 6-2 are generally turned off. -10- This paper size is in accordance with Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) 1236798 Λ7 Β7 V.

The MOS electrodes of the MOS transistors 7-1 and 7-2 are connected to the ground terminal V s s. Similar to the above NMOS transistors 6-1 and 6-2, the protection NMOS transistors 7-1 and 7-2 are generally closed. In the first embodiment, the threshold voltages VthA of the NMOS transistors 6-1, 6-2, 7-1, and 7-2 are set to be lower than the NMOS transistors that constitute the bus switch 1. The threshold voltages V th Β of 2-1 and 2-2. Assume that in the bus switch 1, the output level of the buffer circuit 4-1 undershoots and the voltage at the point A in the input line 3-1 drops to about -2V instantaneously, as shown in FIG. 5A. Protect NMOS transistor 7-1, which is connected to input line 3-1, as a protection input signal, and the voltage at point B in input line 3-1 is not higher than the threshold of protecting NMOS transistor 7-1 The sum of the voltage V th is maintained at about one V t hA. As described above, the threshold voltage V t h B is set higher than the threshold voltage V t hA in the bus switch 1. Therefore, when the NMOS transistor 2 — Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economy 1 is closed as shown in FIG. 6, even when “undershoot” occurs in the input lines 3 — 1 of FIGS. 5 A and 5 B, The gate-to-source voltage VGS of the NM MOS transistor 2-1 will not exceed the critical voltage. As a result, even if "undershoot" occurs in the input lines 3-1 and 3-2, it can be suppressed at NM. The formation of channels in the S transistor can prevent the accidental activation of these transistors. -11-This paper size applies to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) 1236798 Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs System Λ7 B7 V.

There is no need to provide protection for any of the MOS transistor 6-1 and 6-2, but the NM transistor 6 — 1 and 6 — 2 can be introduced even when it occurs in the busbar BUS. The advantage of channel transistor electrically 〇S 2-1 and 2-2 are formed. The bus switch of the first embodiment described above, which can prevent NMOS transistors 2-1 and 2-2 from accidental startup, can be effectively used to reduce malfunctions in a system operating at high speed. (Second Embodiment) Fig. 7 is a circuit diagram of a bus switch according to a second embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 7, the bus switch of the second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in that the protection diodes 6 ′-1, 6 ′ 2, 7 ′ 1, and 7 ′ 2 are used. Instead of protecting the NMOS transistor 6-1, 6-2, 7-1, and 7-2, it is connected to a wiring for connecting the NMOS transistor 2-1 and 2-2 to the bus Cable and input lines 3-1 and 3-2. The threshold voltages VthB of the NMOS transistors 2-1 and 2-2 are set higher than the forward voltages V F of the protection diodes 6 '-1, 6'-2, 7 '-1, and 7'-2.
