Abstract
Systems and methods of use relate to a circuit that is designed to detect the state of two control signals, wherein one control signal indicates an ON state for the gate driver and the other control signal indicates an OFF state for the gate driver. The circuit responds to each of the control signals by controlling the gate driver so that it drives an output either high or low. The circuit can also be configured to control the gate driver so that it to drives the output (either high or low) when neither control signal is present.
