ABSTRACT:
A simple silicon integrated circuit consists of two identical Schottky diodes formed in epitaxial pockets that are defined by P-N junction isolation walls. Metallization is provided to connect the diodes back-to-back in parallel and to provide terminal pads at the two nodes of the parallel circuit. Another metal film makes contact with the isolation wall and has an enlarged termination pad portion. This component may be connected across the input of an A/D converter to limit input signals to a small value.
