Abstract
Description
field of invention
[0001] The present invention relates to a snubber circuit, and more particularly to a snubber circuit that does not allow current to flow into a terminal even when a voltage higher than a power supply voltage is input from the outside of the terminal. Background technique
[0002] Recent semiconductor devices have various functions and use various input / output signals. At the same time, semiconductor devices are required to have as few terminals as possible. Recently, the method adopted to meet this requirement is to use one terminal in input mode and output mode. However, in order to reduce power consumption, recent technologies operate semiconductor devices and semiconductor devices mounted in electronic equipment by using a plurality of power supply systems corresponding to their functions, such as a 3.3V power supply system and a 5.0V power supply system, thereby operating the entire electronic equipment. In this electronic device, when a signal is ...
