Integrated semiconductor device having a thyristor

摘要

An integrated semiconductor device having a thyristor includes outer npn-transistors, outer pnp-transistors, and an inner npn-transistor. The outer pnp-transistors and the inner npn-transistor are interconnected so as to form a thyristor to allow the inner transistor to be biased into conduction. Furthermore, a current flow takes place via the outer npn-transistors and the inner npn-transistor. The integrated semiconductor device having a thyristor minimizes interference produced in neighboring components.
