Abstract:
An electronic circuit includes: a drive circuit having an output coupled to a control node of a first electronic switch; a switch circuit with second electronic switches, load paths of the second electronic switches being connected in series, and the switch circuit being connected between a first load node of the first electronic switch and a reference node; and a level shifter coupled between a first signal input and an input of the drive circuit and including cascaded level shifter cells. Each level shifter cell includes a signal input and output, and first and second supply nodes. Each level shifter cell is associated with a respective second electronic switch. The first supply node of each level shifter cell is coupled to a first load node of the associated second electronic switch, and the second supply node is coupled to a second load node of the associated second electronic switch.

Claim (Index 18):
An electronic circuit, comprising:\n a first electronic switch; a drive circuit comprising an output coupled to a control node of the first electronic switch, and an input; a switch circuit with a plurality of second electronic switches, wherein load paths of the second electronic switches are connected in series, and wherein the switch circuit is connected between a first load node of the first electronic switch and a reference node; a first signal input configured to receive a first input signal; a level shifter coupled between the first signal input and the input of the drive circuit and comprising a plurality of cascaded level shifter cells, wherein each of the plurality of level shifter cells comprises a signal input, a signal output, a first supply node and a second supply node, wherein each of the plurality of level shifter cells is associated with a respective one of the plurality of second electronic switches, wherein the first supply node of each of the plurality of level shifter cells is coupled to a first load node of the associated second electronic switch, and the second supply node of each level shifter cell is coupled to a second load node of the associated second electronic switch, wherein the drive circuit comprises a level shifter cell with an input connected to the output of an uppermost level shifter cell of the level shifter, a first supply node coupled to the first load node of the first electronic switch, and a second supply node coupled to a second load node of the first electronic switch, the electronic circuit further comprising: a first capacitor series circuit connected between a circuit node of the input cell and the level shifter cell of the drive circuit, and coupled to the level shifter cells of the level shifter; and a second capacitor series circuit connected between a circuit node of the input cell and the level shifter cell of the drive circuit, and coupled to the level shifter cells of the level shifter.
