Abstract
According to various embodiments, a circuit arrangement may be provided, comprising a driver circuit configured to deliver a switching signal to a power switch such that the power switch controls a load current, a gate-back regulation circuit selectively connected to the driver circuit and the load current, and a diagnostic circuit configured to provide an enabling signal, which allows the gate-back regulation circuit to become active; and wherein the enabling signal is dependent at least in part on a condition independent of the load current.
