    Abstract: An apparatus includes an apparatus input to receive a voltage input, an apparatus output to drive an output metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) at least partially based upon the voltage input, a current source circuit to provide a current source to the apparatus output when the voltage input rises above a first threshold and before the voltage input rises above a second threshold, a voltage clamp circuit to provide a clamped output voltage to the apparatus output when the voltage input rises above the second threshold, and a current sink circuit to provide a current sink to the apparatus output when the voltage input falls below the second threshold and before the voltage input reaches the first threshold.
