An analog transfer gate that can be connected to an external line of a chip that is also connected to a digital circuit. The transfer gate includes both NMOS and PMOS transistors for passing the analog signals in both directions. A voltage sensing circuit is connected to the external line and is configured to sense a voltage that is higher than the supply voltage of the analog circuit. When this occurs, it produces a sense output signal. The sense output signal activates a protection enabling circuit that turns off the PMOS and NMOS transistors. In addition, at least one additional protection transistor is activated to avoid too high of a voltage being applied across any of the transistor junctions.
