    Abstract: In some examples, a system includes a voltage source terminal, a voltage reference terminal, a field effect transistor (FET), a current source, a comparator, and adjustment circuitry. The FET has a gate terminal and a non-gate terminal, the gate terminal coupled to the voltage source terminal. The current source is coupled to the non-gate terminal. The comparator has a comparator output and first and second comparator inputs, the first comparator input coupled to the non-gate terminal, and the second comparator input coupled to the voltage reference terminal. The adjustment circuitry has a circuitry input and a circuitry output, the circuitry input coupled to the comparator output, and the adjustment circuitry configured to adjust the circuitry output responsive to the circuitry input, in which the adjustment reduces a drive strength of the circuit.
