Abstract
An integrated circuit includes a plurality of transistors. The transistors are electrically connected in series and with their respective gates tied together. The transistors are implemented within a transistor array. The transistors are electrically connected between a first reference terminal and a second reference terminal. A non-dominator part of the transistors adjacent to the first reference terminal are implemented at corner regions of the transistor array.
