ABSTRACT:
An input protection structure for integrated circuits is connected in a semiconductor substrate between an input and an output for a reference potential. The input protection structure includes a first transistor acting as an input transistor and a second transistor acting as a trigger transistor. The input transistor and the trigger transistor are connected in a cascade. The input transistor and the trigger transistor have a common collector forming the input of the protection structure. The input transistor has an emitter connected to the output for the reference potential. An oxide isolation is provided for adjacent components.
