Patent ID: 7372685

Claim:
An integrated semiconductor device for use in an electrical system between a power supply and a load such that current is delivered through the integrated semiconductor device to the load, the integrated semiconductor device comprising: a switch including: a first transistor having a source and a drain, wherein the drain is connected with a supply voltage; a second transistor connected in series with the first transistor, wherein a source of the second transistor is electrically connected with the source of the first transistor; and one or more control inputs used to receive control signals, wherein the control signals turn the first transistor and the second transistor on and off thereby turning the switch on or off; a first resistor having a first terminal coupled to the drain of the first transistor and the supply voltage and having a second terminal coupled to a bulk terminal of the first transistor; and a second resistor having a first terminal coupled to the source of the first transistor and the source of the second transistor and having a second terminal coupled to a bulk terminal of the second transistor.
