Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a first well, a first region and fourth regions of a first conductivity type as well as second regions, a third region, a second well of the second conductivity type. A first region is disposed in the first well and coupled to a first reference voltage terminal. Second regions are disposed in the first well, wherein one of the second regions is coupled to the first reference voltage terminal, and the second regions and the first well are included in a first transistor. A third region is disposed in the first well. A first resistive load is coupled between the third region and a second reference voltage terminal. A second well is coupled to the first well. Fourth regions are disposed in the second well, wherein the second well and at least one of the fourth regions are included in a second transistor.
