Abstract
A structure for protecting an integrated circuit connected to first and second rails of a differential link against overvoltages, including: a first bidirectional conducting device, between the first rail and a common node; a second bidirectional conducting device, between the second rail and the common node; and a capacitor between the common node and a low reference potential rail.
