The invention concerns a bidirectional electronic switch of the pulse-controlled
bistable type comprising a monolithic semiconductor circuit including a vertical
bidirectional switch structure (TR; ACS) provided with a gate terminal (G1),
first (Th1) and second (Th2) thyristor structures whereof the anodes
are formed on the front face side, the first thyristor anode region containing
a supplementary P-type region (6), and a metallization (A1, A2)
connected to the main surface of the front face of the vertical bidirectional component
and to the second thyristor anode; a capacitor (C) connected to the first thyristor
anode and to the second thyristor supplementary N-type region; and a switch (SW)
for short-circuiting the capacitor.
