An electronic device can include a source terminal, a gate terminal, and a protection circuit. The protection circuit can include a gate section including a first electrode and a second electrode, wherein the first electrode of the gate section is coupled to the gate terminal; and a source section including a first electrode and a second electrode, wherein the first electrode of the source section is coupled to the source terminal. The protection switch can include a control electrode, a first current-carrying electrode coupled to the gate terminal, and a second current-carrying electrode coupled to the source terminal. The second electrode of the gate section, the second electrode of the source section, and the control electrode of the protection switch can be coupled to one another. In an embodiment, the electronic device can further include an electronic component that is protected by the protection circuit.
