Abstract
A switch arrangement comprising: a bi-directional metal-oxide-semiconductor, MOS, switch having a drain, source and gate and a body; a first circuit coupled between the drain, the gate and the source for providing electrostatic discharge protection; a first transistor having a source coupled to the body of the MOS switch, a drain coupled to the source of the MOS switch and a gate coupled to the gate of the MOS switch; and a second circuit for providing electrostatic discharge protection comprising a first diode of Zener diode type having an anode coupled to the body of the MOS switch and a cathode coupled to the source, and a second transistor having a source coupled to the body of the MOS switch, a drain coupled to the source of the MOS switch and a gate coupled to the anode of the first diode.
