Abstract
A circuit includes a transistor, a first driver, a second driver, and a delay circuit. The transistor includes an array of transistor cells partitioned into a first switch and a second switch. The first driver is configured to control the first switch. The second driver is configured to control the second switch. The delay circuit is coupled between the first driver and the second driver. The delay circuit is configured to delay closure of the second switch until the first switch is closed and a voltage across the first switch is less than a predetermined voltage.
