In the ICoL circuit without the occlusion diode D1, the positive pulse to the input mcheN is in the forward direction with respect to the pace-emitter junction of the transistor T1, so that the forward voltage drop (less than IV) will occur. However, the negative polarity pulse causes avalanche breakdown in the junction, and the breakdown voltage is about 5V, so the power consumed in the junction is much larger than in the case of positive polarity, and the element heats up. leading to destruction. To prevent this, when a negative pulse is applied to the input IN in the circuit of FIG. is provided, thereby making the breakdown resistance against negative input pulses approximately equal to the value for positive input pulses.
