Abstract

A gate control circuit for a power MOS transistor (1), the first main electrode (D) of which is connected to a high voltage (V.sub.CC) through a load (L), the second main electrode (S) of which is grounded and the gate (G) of which is connected, during the switching ON period, to a low voltage source (V.sub.DD), comprises a switch (S1) for connecting at the switching ON of the power MOS transistor its first main electrode to its gate.
