Latch-up protection for MOSFET drivers

What is a MOSFET?
Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor, or simply MOSFET, is the most commonly used field effect transistor for both analog and digital circuits. It is composed of two channels: n-type or p-type semiconductor materials, accordingly referred to as NMOSFET and PMOSFET.

What is CMOS?
Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor, or commonly referred to as CMOS, is a type of IC which includes microprocessor, microcontroller, static RAM and other digital logic circuits.

What is an IC?
A miniaturised electronic circuit consisting of semiconductor devices and passive components that has been manufactured or "etched" in the surface of a thin substrate of semiconductor material.
