Abstract
A system and method provide overshoot protection to facilitate driving a load by output circuitry in response to a transition from a first operating mode to a second operating mode. The overshoot protection occurs by masking an input bias from biasing the output circuitry for an initial part of the second operating mode based on a transition to the second operating mode, and then allowing the input bias to bias the output circuitry in a desired manner in a subsequent part of the second operating mode.
