Abstract
One example discloses a driver circuit, including: a high-side element coupled to receive a supply voltage and configured to be coupled to a first terminal of a load; a low-side element coupled to a ground and configured to be coupled to a second terminal of the load; a controller coupled to activate both the high-side element and the low-side element at a same time; and a reverse current blocking element coupled between the voltage supply and the high-side element; wherein the reverse current blocking element is configured to permit current flow from the voltage supply to the high-side element, and to block current flow from the high-side element to the voltage supply.
