In an embodiment, a semiconductor device has a semiconductor body of a first semiconductor type, a first region of a second semiconductor type disposed in the semiconductor body, and a second region of the first semiconductor type disposed within the first region, where the second semiconductor type is opposite the first semiconductor type, and where an interface between the first region and the semiconductor body forms a first diode junction. The semiconductor device also has a comparator with a first input coupled to the semiconductor body and a second input coupled to the first region, and a switch having a first output node coupled to the first region, and a second output node coupled to the semiconductor body. The semiconductor body, the first region and the second region are configured to be coupled to a first supply voltage, a second supply voltage, and a third supply voltage, respectively. |
