| Zusammenfassung: | A substrate potential limiting device for an integrated circuit that includes a semiconductor substrate is provided. The device includes at least one unidirectional element connected between a substrate contact on the semiconductor substrate and a reference potential. The unidirectional element may be a bipolar transistor. The bipolar transistor includes a base and a collector connected to the at least one substrate contact and an emitter connected to the reference potential. |
