Abstract

An electronic circuit includes a driving circuit and a power switch. The driving circuit includes a first control circuit and a second control circuit. The first control circuit is coupled between a high-level voltage and an internal node. The second control circuit includes a first switch and a second switch. The first switch is coupled between the internal node and a driving node, and the second switch is coupled between the driving node and a first low-level voltage. The second control circuit periodically couples the first control circuit and the first low-level voltage to a driving node. The power switch is coupled to a second low-level voltage and turned on or off in response to a driving signal at the driving node. The power switch is either current-driven or voltage-driven.
