Abstract
An example circuit includes a first transistor and a second transistor coupled in series with the first transistor. A regulator circuit is configured to regulate a voltage across the second transistor based on a first reference voltage and a voltage at a node between the first and second transistors. A rectification drive circuit is configured to operate the first and second transistors in a rectification mode based on a voltage at the node and at least one second reference voltage.
