Abstract
An electric device protection circuit comprises at least one conductive bridging unit which electrically connects a terminal of the electric device to a protection node set to a protection potential, the protection potential being chosen such that the conductive bridging unit switches from a resistive state to a conductive state in case that the voltage or current at the terminal exceeds a predetermined threshold value.
