ABSTRACT:
A switching circuit includes first and second transistors, and a driver circuit. The first transistor has a first current electrode coupled to a first power supply voltage terminal, a second current electrode, and a control electrode. The second transistor has a first current electrode coupled to the second current electrode of the first transistor, a second current electrode coupled to a second power supply voltage terminal, and a control electrode. The driver circuit has an input for receiving an input signal, and an output coupled to the control electrode of the first transistor. The driver circuit precharges the control electrode of the first transistor to a first predetermined voltage, and in response to the input signal transitioning from a first logic state to a second logic state, the driver circuit provides a second predetermined voltage to the control electrode of the first transistor to cause the first transistor to be conductive.
