Abstract
An integrated circuit includes an enable terminal, a semiconductor substrate, a conductive region, and a transistor. A substrate region is disposed within the substrate, and the conductive region is electrically isolated from both the substrate and the substrate region. The transistor includes a first terminal that is coupled to the substrate region, a second terminal that is coupled to the conductive region, and a control terminal that is coupled to the enable terminal.
