Abstract
While a voltage at a gate of one of a pair of series connected switches of a phase leg is greater than a threshold value, circuitry generates a signal with a logical value that precludes a gate driver corresponding to a gate of the other of the pair of series connected switches from driving the gate of the other of the pair of series connected switches.
