Abstract
In a particular implementation, an apparatus to control clamping devices includes a detection circuitry, a clamping device, inverter circuitry, and first and second control circuitry. In response to a first voltage corresponding to a gate terminal of the clamping device, the first control circuitry is configured to generate a second voltage to set the first voltage below a first voltage threshold. Also, in response to the second voltage, the second control circuitry is configured to generate a third voltage to set a voltage of the detection circuitry below a second voltage threshold.
