Abstract

A decoupling circuit for decoupling conduction lines from each other, the circuit including at least one pass gate element having conduction terminals connected to the conduction lines and having at least one control terminal. The decoupling circuit includes at least one protection circuit inserted between the control terminal and at least one of the conduction lines, and including at least one protection transistor connected to the control terminal and to the at least one conduction line, and configured to take in a disturbing signal passing through the pass gate element (N1) to properly decouple the conduction lines from each other on the occurrence of a disturbing condition.
