Abstract:
A circuit has first and second semiconductor switches, each of which has a load path and control terminal connected in series. Each switch includes a first semiconductor device having a load path and a control terminal coupled to the control terminal of its switch, and a second semiconductor device having a load path between first and second load terminals, and a control terminal. Each second semiconductor device has its load path connected in series to the load path of the corresponding first semiconductor device. The semiconductor devices are coupled such that the second semiconductor devices are controlled by a load path voltage of the first semiconductor devices. The switches are integrated in a common semiconductor body. The first switch is implemented in a first area of the semiconductor body, and the second switch is implemented in a second area. In a horizontal plane, the first area surrounds the second area.
