ABSTRACT:
The circuit and structure of a high voltage switch with latchup is disclosed for a latching driver used in a gas panel display. The driver circuit functions as a high voltage, single pole, double throw switch with memory. A plurality of the latching driver circuits may be integrated on an LSI chip. Each position lighted on a gas panel display requires two latching driver circuits which are operated in a complementary fashion by suitable logic. The latching driver circuit is comprised of a complementary transistor, high voltage output switch which is controlled by a positive feedback silicon controlled switch which serves as the latching mechanism. The structure of the latching driver is of an advanced integrated design employing a plurality of lateral complementary transistors in two isolation regions.
