SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18117566 titled 'SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a semiconductor device with multiple terminals and circuits that operate based on temperature conditions.
- The device has a first terminal, a second terminal, and a third terminal.
- It includes a first circuit that generates a first signal of a first level if a certain temperature condition is met.
- If the first circuit outputs the first signal, a second circuit provides electrical insulation between the second and third terminals.
- The first circuit contains an element positioned between a first interconnect and the first terminal.
- The first circuit will output the first signal regardless of temperature if a specific voltage is supplied to the first interconnect.
Original Abstract Submitted
According to one embodiment, a semiconductor device includes, a first terminal, a second terminal, a third terminal, a first circuit configured to output a first signal of a first level if a temperature satisfies a condition, and a second circuit configured, if the first circuit outputs the first signal of the first level, to provide electrical insulation between the second terminal and the third terminal, wherein the first circuit includes an element provided between a first interconnect and the first terminal, and the first circuit outputs the first signal of the first level regardless of the temperature if a first voltage is supplied to the first interconnect.
