An electronic device for driving a power switch coupled to receive a first supply voltage level at one side of its channel is provided. The electronic device includes a control switch coupled with a first side of a channel to receive a varying control voltage having a maximum level that is greater than a maximum voltage level of the first voltage supply and with another side of the channel to a control gate of the power switch for selectively applying the control voltage to the control gate of the power switch. The first side of the channel is coupled with the control gate of the control switch and a capacitor is provided and coupled with a first side to the control gate of the control switch and with a second side to a constant voltage supply.
