Abstract
A circuit including a device including a first and second node. The device operating in at least an enabled mode and a disabled mode. The circuit including a voltage control circuit. The voltage control circuit including a current source for sourcing current to or sinking current from the first node during the disabled mode and a voltage difference detector including an output for providing an indication of a measured voltage difference between the first node and the second node. The voltage control circuit includes a current source control circuit including a first input to receive the indication of the measured voltage difference and an output to control current sourced to or sinked from the first node by the current source to limit a voltage difference between the first and second node based on a comparison between the indication of the measured voltage difference and an indication of a target voltage difference.
