    摘要: A bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) protection circuit includes two sets of steering diodes, a clamp circuit including an MOS transistor integrated with a silicon controlled rectifier (SCR) and a trigger circuit. In response to a voltage applied to one of the protected nodes exceeding a first voltage level, the trigger circuit drives the MOS transistor to cause a current flow at the SCR to trigger an SCR action and the SCR clamps the voltage at the respective protected node at a clamping voltage. In other embodiments, a bidirectional transient voltage suppressor (TVS) protection circuit includes two sets of steering diodes with a clamp device merged with a steering diode in each set. In some embodiments, the TVS protection circuit realizes low capacitance at the protected nodes by fully or almost completely depleting the P-N junction connected to the protected nodes in the operating voltage range.

    摘要: A semiconductor device includes a thyristor disposed in a semiconductor body. The thyristor has an anode, a cathode, a first bipolar transistor located on an anode side, and a second bipolar transistor located on a cathode side. The first and second bipolar transistors are nested and connected between the anode and the cathode. A MOS transistor is disposed in the semiconductor body. The MOS transistor is coupled between a collector region and an emitter region of the second bipolar transistor. The MOS transistor has a gate region connected to the cathode via a resistive semiconductor region that incorporates at least a part of a base region of the second bipolar transistor.
