Abstract:
An electronic circuit includes a driver circuit having an output terminal that can be coupled to a load to drive the load. A control circuit is coupled to the driver circuit for controlling the driver circuit. A transistor is coupled in series between the driver circuit and the output terminal. The transistor has a first terminal coupled to the driver circuit and a second terminal coupled to the output terminal. A biasing circuit is coupled to a gate terminal of the transistor and configured to provide a constant voltage to the gate terminal to bias the transistor to a conducting state to reduce the susceptibility of the electronic circuit to electromagnetic interference. The biasing circuit includes a voltage regulator, a Zener diode, and a capacitor. The Zener diode and capacitor are coupled to the gate terminal and a reference terminal.
