Patent ID: 6960937

Claim:
A control circuit, comprising: an enable input terminal; a control circuit output terminal; a pull-up control input terminal; a pull-down control input terminal; a first internal node; a second internal node; a driver circuit having an output terminal coupled to the control circuit output terminal; a first pull-up coupled between the control circuit output terminal and a power high, the first pull-up having a gate terminal coupled to the first internal node; a second pull-up coupled between the first internal node and the power high, the second pull-up having a gate terminal coupled to the enable input terminal; a first pass-gate coupled between the first internal node and the pull-up control input terminal, the first pass-gate having a gate terminal coupled to the enable input terminal; a first pull-down coupled between the control circuit output terminal and a ground, the first pull-down having a gate terminal coupled to the second internal node; a third pull-up coupled between the second internal node and the power high, the third pull-up having a gate terminal coupled to the enable input terminal; and a second pass-gate coupled between the second internal node and the pull-down control input terminal, the second pass-gate having a gate terminal coupled to the enable input terminal.
