This paper describes a mixed digital analog, high-voltage - ASIC. Designed in a 0.35 mum based high-voltage technology, it has integrated a large set of functions ranging from switched mode power supplies, low drop regulators and switchable supplies, over precision ADC and monitoring-functions, to high speed data processing and communication. The circuit is operated in a harsh environment which causes short circuits of several pins to the ground or to the High-supply up to 60V. Besides the new solutions for common circuits to come to an area-eflicient powercritical implementation of the customer specifications, a lot of attention had to be paid to these short circuits.
