Abstract

A protection monolithic semiconductor component has an input terminal, an output terminal and a reference terminal. The component includes between the input terminal and output terminal, a first diode of a first polarity having a low forward dissipation and a reverse breakdown voltage ranging from 20 to 40 volts; and, between the output terminal and reference terminal, a second protection diode having the same polarity. The first diode is laterally disposed between two electrodes of the front surface of the component, and the second diode is vertically disposed between an electrode on the front surface of the component and an electrode on the rear surface.
