Abstract: An apparatus includes a first transistor having a first transistor control terminal and coupled between a power terminal and a switching terminal. The apparatus further includes a second transistor having a second transistor control terminal and coupled between the switching terminal and a ground terminal. The apparatus further includes a first switch coupled between the power terminal and the second transistor control terminal, the first switch having a first switch control terminal; The apparatus further includes a second switch coupled between the second control terminal and the ground terminal, the second switch having a second switch control terminal. The apparatus also includes a controller having a control input, a first control output, and a second control output, the control input coupled to the second transistor control terminal, the first control output coupled to the first switch control terminal, and the second control output coupled to the second switch control terminal.
