Abstract

In at least some examples, an apparatus includes a logic circuit, first transistor, and second transistor. The logic circuit has a first logic circuit output, and a second logic circuit output. The first transistor has a first transistor gate, a first transistor source, and a first transistor drain, the first transistor gate coupled to the first logic circuit output, the first transistor drain adapted to couple to a voltage source, and the first transistor source coupled to a switching terminal. The second transistor has a second transistor gate, a second transistor source, and a second transistor drain, the second transistor gate coupled to the second logic circuit output, the second transistor drain adapted to couple to the voltage source, and the second transistor source coupled to the switching terminal, wherein a transistor width of the second transistor is larger than a transistor width of the first transistor.
