Claim 13:
14. An integrated circuit comprising:
a controller having a first driver control output and a second driver control output;
a first ESD circuit having a first driver control input and a first ESD output, the first driver control input coupled to the first driver control output;
a second ESD circuit having a second driver control input and a second ESD output, the second driver control input coupled to the second driver control output;
a voltage regulator having a regulator output;
a first driver circuit coupled between an internal supply voltage terminal and a switching terminal and having a first driver input and a first driver output, the first driver input coupled to the first ESD output;
a second driver circuit coupled between the regulator output and a rectifier terminal and having a second driver input and a second driver output, the second driver input coupled to the second ESD output;
a first transistor coupled between an input voltage terminal and the switching terminal and having a first control terminal coupled to the first driver output; and
a second transistor coupled between the switching terminal and the rectifier terminal and having a second control terminal coupled to the second driver output.
