Abstract
A clamp circuit including a first transistor having a control connection coupled to a first reference voltage terminal and a first controlled connection coupled to an input voltage terminal. The clamp circuit includes a second transistor having a control connection configured to receive a control voltage that is dependent on a current flowing through the first transistor, a first controlled connection coupled to the input voltage terminal, and a second controlled connection coupled to a second reference voltage terminal.
