    Abstract: In an embodiment a switch includes a first MOS transistor having its source connected to its channel-forming region and coupled with a first terminal of the switch, its drain coupled with a second terminal of the switch, and its gate connected to a first node of the switch, a diode coupling the first terminal with the first node, a capacitive element coupling a third terminal of the switch with the first node, the third terminal being configured to receive a control signal for the switch and a discharge circuit coupling the first node with the first terminal, the discharge circuit configured to conduct only when a voltage between the first node and the first terminal is greater than or equal to a threshold.

    Abstract: In an embodiment, a method for soft-starting an SMPS includes: asserting an enable signal; disabling an output stage of the SMPS; after asserting the enable signal, measuring a feedback voltage of the SMPS; receiving a first reference voltage at an input reference node; comparing the measured feedback voltage with the first reference voltage; and, when the measured feedback voltage is lower than the first reference voltage, storing the feedback voltage in a soft-start capacitor, connecting an output reference node to the soft-start capacitor, enabling the output stage of the SMPS, and switching a transistor of the output stage to regulate the output voltage based on the feedback voltage and a second reference voltage at the output reference node, and injecting a current into the soft-start capacitor.
