A transistor drive circuit of a power converter is developed for operating in a wide voltage range. It includes an N-type high-side transistor, a P-type high-side transistor and an N-type low-side transistor. A voltage clamp device is connected to the gate of the N-type high-side transistor to limit the maximum output voltage. A detection circuit is coupled to detect the supply voltage of the transistor drive circuit to generate a disable signal in response to the voltage level of the supply voltage. The disable signal is coupled to disable the P-type high-side transistor once the voltage level of the supply voltage is higher than a threshold voltage.
