Abstract:
Disclosed examples include isolated load switch driver circuits to drive a load, including an impedance circuit that receives a digital input voltage signal from a signal source, and selectively allows a current signal to flow from the signal source to charge a buffer capacitor. An impedance control circuit controls the impedance circuit to limit the current signal in response to the buffer capacitor reaching a first threshold voltage, and an output circuit provides an output isolated from the digital input voltage signal to switch the load. A signaling circuit selectively enables the output circuit to draw power from the buffer capacitor in response to the voltage of the buffer capacitor reaching the first threshold voltage.

Claim (Index 2):
The IC of  claim 1 ,\n wherein the buffer capacitor includes a first terminal connected to the first input pin and a second terminal connected to the output of the impedance circuit; wherein the impedance circuit includes a first transistor connected between the second input pin and a first node, and a second transistor connected between the first node and the second terminal of the buffer capacitor; and wherein the impedance connection control circuit provides a first signal to turn the first transistor on in the first mode, and provides a second signal to a control terminal of the second transistor to turn the second transistor on in the first mode; wherein the impedance connection control circuit removes the second signal in the second mode; and wherein the current limiter circuit includes a current limit control circuit to provide a third signal to the control terminal of the second transistor to limit the amplitude of the current signal in the second mode.
