Abstract

A device for minimizing parasitic junction capacitances in an isolated collector vertical PNP transistor, having a terminal N connected to an epitaxial n layer, comprises a bootstrap circuit including an emitter follower vertical PNP transistor having its emitter and base respectively connected to the terminal of the epitaxial n layer and the collector of the isolated collector transistor; further, a bias resistance is connected between the emitter and one pole of a voltage supply to the emitter follower.
