Voltage resistant MOS switch

摘要

The switch (101) has a MOS switching transistor (112) including a gate terminal and a source terminal that are short-circuited when the two transistors (11, 112) are in a non-conducting condition. A switching monitoring unit (116) produces a switching-through potential to prevent a predetermined potential difference at a protection output when the switching transistors are in the non-conducting condition. An independent claim is also included for a cardiac pacemaker or defibrillator having a stimulating unit.
