Original Abstract Submitted
One example discloses a driver circuit, comprising: a first transistor (Q) coupled to a first differential input (IN) and a power supply input (VCC); a second transistor (Q) coupled to a second differential input (IP) and the power supply input; a third transistor (Q) coupled to a first differential output (ON); a fourth transistor (Q) coupled to a second differential output (OP); a first resistance (R) coupling the first transistor (Q) to the third transistor (Q); a second resistance (R) coupling the second transistor (Q) to the fourth transistor (Q); and a controller coupled to the power supply input; wherein the controller is configured to detect a ramp-down of a power supply coupled to the power supply input and in response disable a set of circuit elements in the driver circuit.
