Abstract
Embodiments of a switching circuitry are disclosed. In some embodiments, the switching circuitry includes a switch and a switch control circuit. The switch has a control terminal. The driver circuit is configured to initially apply a first voltage at a first voltage level to the control terminal so that the switch goes from being open to being closed. The driver circuit is configured to apply a second voltage at a second voltage level in response to the first voltage causing a voltage at the control terminal of the switch to reach a threshold voltage level, wherein the second voltage level is smaller in magnitude than the first voltage level. By using a higher voltage level when initially closing the switch, the switch is closed quickly. Once the switch is closed a lower voltage level is used to maintain the switch closed.
