Abstract
A circuit includes a control circuit branch and a discharge circuit branch. The control circuit branch is electrically coupled between a control input node and a negative node. The control circuit branch includes a p-type transistor (MP), a diode, and a first n-type transistor (MN). A source node of MP is electrically coupled to the control input node. The diode has an anode and a cathode. The anode is electrically coupled to a drain node of MP. A drain node of MNis electrically coupled to the cathode. A source node of MNis electrically coupled to the negative node. The discharge circuit branch is electrically coupled between the negative node and a discharge node. The discharge circuit branch includes a second n-type transistor (MN). A drain node of MNis electrically coupled to the negative node. A gate node of MNis electrically coupled to the cathode.
