Abstract

A first transistor is turned on based on a first control signal provided to a first terminal of the first transistor. A second transistor is turned on based on a second control signal delayed by a time delay from the first control signal. A second terminal of the first transistor is coupled with a second terminal of the second transistor. The second control signal is used to control a first input signal of a logic device. The logic device receives a second input signal inversed from the first control signal. An output signal of the logic device is used to control a first terminal of the second transistor.
