Abstract
Analog input selection circuits comprising an input terminal, an output terminal, a transmission path extending between the input terminal and the output terminal, transmission switches that open or close the transmission path, an over-voltage protection switch which connects or does not connect the transmission path to the ground, a PMOS transistor provided between the input terminal and a power supply, and an NMOS transistor provided between the input terminal and the ground are formed on an identical semiconductor substrate. If the semiconductor substrate is P-type, then a region in which the NMOS transistor is formed is surrounded by an N-well region.
