Original Abstract Submitted
A circuit includes: an output terminal; a first transistor; and a clamp circuit. The first transistor has a first terminal, a second terminal, and a control terminal. The second terminal of the first transistor coupled to the output terminal. The clamp circuit has a second transistor and a clamp controller. The second transistor has a first terminal, a second terminal, and a control terminal. The clamp controller has a first terminal, a second terminal, and a third terminal. The first terminal of the second transistor is coupled to the control terminal of the first transistor. The third terminal of the clamp controller is coupled to the control terminal of the second transistor. The clamp controller includes a capacitor having a first terminal and a second terminal. The first terminal of the capacitor is coupled to the third terminal of the clamp controller.
