Abstract
An electric circuit includes a semiconductor device. The semiconductor device includes a first transistor and a second transistor in a common semiconductor substrate. The first transistor is of the same conductivity type as the second transistor. A first source region of the first transistor is electrically connected to a first source terminal via a first main surface of the semiconductor substrate. A second drain region of the second transistor is electrically connected to a second drain terminal via a first main surface of the semiconductor substrate. A first drain region of the first transistor and a second source region of the second transistor are electrically connected to an output terminal via a second main surface of the semiconductor substrate. The electric circuit further includes a control circuit operable to control a first gate electrode of the first transistor and a second gate electrode of the second transistor.
