Abstract
Power switching circuitry is provided that includes a power switch having a first terminal coupled to a first power domain and having a second terminal coupled to a second power domain, a diode coupled between the first and second terminals of the power switch, and a pull-down circuit coupled between the second terminal of the power switch and a gate terminal of the power switch. The pull-down circuit can be a pull-down transistor. The power switching circuitry can further include a feedforward resistor coupled between the first terminal of the power switch and a gate terminal of the pull-down transistor. The power switching circuitry can further include a voltage clamping circuit configured to limit a voltage at the gate terminal of the pull-down transistor and an additional transistor configured to selectively disable the voltage clamping circuit.
