Abstract:
Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed for a multi-level turn-off circuit. An example power delivery circuit includes a two-level turn-off circuit to be coupled to a first switch to reduce a first gate voltage of the first switch from a first voltage to a second voltage when a current flowing through the first switch is greater than an over-current threshold, the two-level turn-off circuit including a second switch, a voltage-current-voltage buffer to reduce a second gate voltage of the second switch from a third voltage to a fourth voltage, and a comparator circuit to turn off the second switch when the second gate voltage is the fourth voltage, and a driver to be coupled to the first switch to turn off the first switch when the second gate voltage is the fourth voltage.
