ABSTRACT:
A forward biasing protection circuit is provided. More specifically, there is provided a device comprising a transistor, a resistive element coupled to the body terminal of the transistor, and a clamping element coupled in parallel to the resistive element and configured to limit a voltage between the source terminal and the body terminal of the transistor. A method of manufacturing the forward biasing protection circuit is also provided.
