    Abstract: Described are various compensation circuit designs to ensure proper shutoff of an unselected transducer in a transducer switching matrix. The switch of an unselected transducer is moved to a strong OFF state by injection of a compensation current. The compensation network is implemented as semiconductor integrated circuits which provide a high-voltage column switching diode, and a compensation switch. The compensation switch and column switching diode are configured su ch that they are isolated from each other.

    Abstract: A semiconductor circuit integrated with CMOS circuits for receiving a TTL input voltage and generating a large negative and positive voltage swing with respect to p-type or n-type substrate is disclosed. This invention is based on elimination of the electro-static discharge (ESD) protection circuit which is a requirement for any integrated circuit. Eliminating the ESD protection circuit a lso eliminates the clamping feature of the ESD protection circuit and therefore the circuit can be driven to negative voltages for PMOS circuits and to positive vol tages for NMOS circuits. This provides the possibility of connecting the drain of a a P-channel type metal oxide silicon field effect (PMOS) transistor, which is fabr icated on a p-type substrate within an n-well, to a voltage below the the substrate voltag e. Also, in a n-channel type metal oxide silicon field effect (NMOS) transistor whi ch is fabricated on a n-type substrate within a P-well, the drain can be connected to voltages higher than the substrate voltage. Utilizing this feature of a MOS tran sistor provides a way to design an integrated circuit which can handle negative voltage swings as well as positive voltage swings.

    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a CMOS integrated circuit diode having such characteristics that it has a high impedance value at the time of reverse bias and a low impedance value at the time of forward bias. SOLUTION: A diode 8 is a columnar device having a center line C and is formed by forming a n-well cathode 12 on a substrate composed of p- epitaxial 18, in which a ring is buried with a p+ substrate 26 and a p- epitaxial anode 10 at its center. The n-well cathode 12 is buried at the depth of 'd1' (3.5-4.5 micrometers). The width of the n-well cathode 12 is approx. 80-3.0 micrometers in a position approx. 5-10 micro meters away from the center line C. The n-well cathode 12 is electrically connected through an n+ metal contact 20. The n-well cathode 12 is connected to metal wiring using the n+ metal contact 20. The p- epitaxial anode of the diode 8 formed by the n-well cathode 12 is grounded through the p- epitaxial anode contact.
