Abstract
A circuit includes a first transistor having a control terminal and includes a predriver having an input and an output. The output is coupled to the control terminal of the first transistor. A second transistor of a first polarity has a control terminal coupled to the output of the predriver. A third transistor of a second polarity has first and second terminals. The first terminal of the third transistor is coupled to the control terminal of the second transistor. A fourth transistor having the second polarity has first and second terminals. The first terminal of the fourth transistor is coupled to the second terminal of the third transistor. The second terminal of the fourth transistor is coupled to a supply terminal.
