Abstract: An output circuit includes: an output switch including a gate terminal, a drain terminal coupled to an external I/O bus, and a well terminal; a well control circuit, having a well terminal coupled to the well terminal of the output switch, to maintain a well voltage of the output switch at a level not less than a greater of a first voltage and a second voltage; and a gate control circuit coupled to the gate terminal and a the drain terminal of the output switch and to the external I/O bus, and operable to turn off the output switch, to prevent current flow through the output switch from the external I/O bus when an operating voltage of the output circuit is not applied to the output switch, and a bus voltage from an external device is present on the external I/O bus.
