Abstract:
One example includes a switch circuit. The switch circuit includes a transistor configured to activate in response to an activation voltage at an activation terminal of the transistor. The switch circuit also includes a current source coupled to the activation terminal and being configured to generate an activation current. The switch circuit further includes a driver control circuit interconnecting the activation terminal and a voltage rail. The driver control circuit includes digital counter logic configured to cycle through a predetermined number of count values based on an oscillator signal. The driver control circuit is configured to adjust an amplitude of the activation voltage at each of the predetermined number of count values based on the activation current to provide a soft-start activation of the transistor.

Claim (Index 3):
The circuit of  claim 2 , wherein the digital counter logic is configured to generate a plurality of digital counter signals, and wherein the cascaded arrangement of transistors is arranged as a respective plurality of transistors that are controlled by the plurality of digital counter signals in a sequence based on the digital counter logic asserting the plurality of digital counter signals in a sequence based on the oscillator signal.
