Abstract
In a circuit arrangement including a pair of transistors serially connected together in a totem pole arrangement for bridging two buses at different voltage potentials, a driving scheme for controlling the conductive state of one of the pair of transistors. The scheme includes sensing the voltage difference across this one transistor by comparing a substantially fixed level represented by the voltage potential at one bus to a varying level. The varying level is based on the voltage at a junction joining the two transistors together. When the sensed voltage is at or below a predetermined level this one transistor is turned on.
