Abstract

A pull-down circuit includes a control circuit generating an activation signal in response to a supply voltage, a first reference voltage, and a feedback signal, and a charge pump configured to generate a control signal in response to the activation signal and control a switching device using the control signal. The switching device is a field-effect transistor (FET) and is coupled to a power switch and pulls down a voltage level of a gate of the power switch to prevent a premature turn-on of the power switch.
