Abstract
A circuit, which might be a full-bridge driver circuit, comprises a first PMOS high-side transistor device and a first NMOS low-side transistor device. The circuit further comprises turn-on circuitry configured to turn on the first PMOS high-side transistor device while simultaneously turning on the first NMOS low-side transistor device, by routing charge stored in a gate of the first PMOS high-side transistor device to a gate of the first NMOS low-side transistor device, to charge the gate of the first NMOS low-side transistor device.
