Abstract
Examples described herein provide an apparatus having a circuit with a grounding circuit and a switch. The apparatus generally includes a gate induced drain leakage (GIDL) protection circuit coupled to the switch and to an output voltage. The GIDL protection circuit may include a switch protection circuit configured to maintain a drain voltage of the switch less than a first supply voltage (V) when the circuit is in an OFF state; and a ground protection circuit configured to maintain a drain voltage of the grounding circuit less than the first supply voltage when the circuit is in an ON state.
