Abstract
A high-voltage output driver () for a sensor device () with reverse current blocking comprises a supply node (SN) to apply a supply voltage (VHV) and an output node (OP) to provide an output signal (OS) of the high-voltage output driver (). The high-voltage output driver () comprises a driver transistor (MP) being disposed between the supply node (SN) and the output node (OP). The high-voltage output driver () further comprises a bulk control circuit () to apply a bulk control voltage (Vwell) to a bulk node (BMP) of the driver transistor (MP), and a gate control circuit () to apply a gate control voltage (GCV) to the gate node (GMP) of the driver transistor (MP).
