1. A protection device, comprising:
a semiconductor substrate;
a thyristor-type device, formed within the semiconductor substrate, the thyristor-type device extending from a first main surface of the semiconductor substrate to a second main surface of the semiconductor substrate;
a first PN diode, formed within the semiconductor substrate;
a second PN diode, formed within the semiconductor substrate, wherein the thyristor-type device is arranged in electrical series between the first PN diode and the second PN diode; and
an electrical isolation barrier, extending from the first main surface to the second main surface, and disposed between the second PN diode and the thyristor-type device.
