Abstract
A semiconductor device includes first to fifth regions, first and second resistive loads. The first region is coupled to a first reference voltage terminal. The first to third regions operate as a first transistor. The fourth region is coupled to a second reference voltage terminal. The fourth to fifth regions operate as a second transistor. The first resistive load couples the second region to the second reference voltage terminal. The second resistive load couples the fifth region to the first reference voltage terminal. The first, third, second, fifth and fourth regions are arranged in order, each of the first, second and third regions corresponds to a first conductive type, and each of the fourth and fifth regions corresponds to a second conductive type.
