Abstract
A dynamic gate control signal generator circuit includes a pad configured to produce an output voltage, a reference generator configured to receive a supply voltage (VDDIO) and produce, based on the supply voltage, a first reference voltage signal and a second reference voltage signal, and a pad tracker circuit coupled to the reference generator, the pad tracker circuit configured to receive the output voltage of the pad and limit a high voltage of the pad to the second reference voltage signal. The dynamic gate control signal generator circuit further includes a first clamper circuit coupled to the pad tracker, the first clamper circuit configured to receive an output voltage signal from the pad tracker circuit and generate, based on the output voltage signal, a dynamic gate control signal that toggles between the first reference voltage signal and the second reference voltage signal.
