Does ldmosnbl must be connected to the highest potential?

hi, everybody
whether isolated ldnmos'nbl must connect to highest potential?
 

about ldmos'nbl

Based on breakdown voltage of lateral junction between Isolation to Drain, connect to to Drain maybe more safe.
 

about ldmos'nbl

N buried layer is more likely the drain node, if current is quasi-vertical
(as a good high density DMOS would be). Tying it to the highest
supply would probably be "interesting" (for as long as it survives).
 

Re: about ldmos'nbl

hi, to edwintsu,
you said:Based on breakdown voltage of lateral junction between Isolation to Drain, connect to to Drain maybe more safe.
here, who construct lateral junction? does N+(drain), PWELL(pbody or pbase), and HVNWELL or nbl(isolated ring) construct parasitic npn? If that is right, I mean we connect nbl to drain, then the parasitic npn will be diode(drain to pwell), here the parasitc diode breakdown voltage is higher than parasitic npn junction, true or fause?
